No doubt cyclists will still be able to use the straight for their 'Time Trials' - or races to us . . . I wonder how many accidents have ever taken place there - it will probably become more dangerous now that tourists will slow to a crawl to look at the pits and grandstand.

It's crazy - a quiet road like this is not like Mulsane Straight at le Mans, which is normally a fast and busy road, where no-one would dream of stopping. As the French really do have democracy, perhaps this ruling will be changed.
