Classic Le Mans
 

Just watch the highlights of last years event on Motors TV, looks awesome.
Especially the 60's (GT40's, Ferraris and Mustangs) and 70's (BMW M1's, Panteras and 911's) classes.
I think it has more appeal than the main event.

Just been looking at the website, it's a 7000 vehicle classic car show as well :yikes:.
The quattro (and R8) on the post '66 accepted cars list for the enclosure :tup:. Maybe next year then :D.

Anyone been?
I imagine it's not quite so manic as the main event, not so many people?

I keep meaning to go and will make a determined effort to get to the 2012 event ( held every two years )
I work as a fire marshal at the 24hr race every year but this would be any fanatics dream and I would only go as a specy to this!!

If you want a good read, and are obviously into books, read 'The Man In The White Suit', Ben Collins a.k.a. 'The Stig', autobiography. It is a very very good read and lots about Le Mans in his early days driving for the Ascari Team. Awesome read.

We went last year and in 2008, tis a fantastic event, such a great atmosphere and so good seeing all that classic metal being driven properly :)

not quite the same, but worth a trip as it's local (and I've got free weekend tickets!!)

Have been to the Le Mans Classic once. Was excellent, nowhere near as busy as the Le Mans 24hr, a lot more relaxed!

Donnington looks cool coxy, let me know if you head over.
