During the day we will also have lunch, either in the vehicle or while we watch from the roadside.
We will head to the finish area to catch the finale of the race live from the “La Terrasse” hospitality area, overlooking the finishing straight**. Hopefully we can join in with the team celebrations. After the race comes to a close your hosts will take you the short distance to the hotel, and we will enjoy a meal together at a local restaurant.
