Re: Le mans Classic 2018
We did 2016, it's a great event. So much to see. Really liked that we could get so close to cars etc, only downside it wasn't cheap. But definitely well worth it. Il definitely go back another time, we stayed in private camping which is well worth the extra money. Nice and quiet and nice clean toilets/showers.

Re: Le mans Classic 2018
Hi Pete, We are going in the mini Jem, camping at porche's curve , we went in 2016 , cost £399 , security on site and as twj89 said clean toilets / showers ,we got the pass to park inside with the big Marcos cars and obvious the mini Marcos , it was great weekend, never in my life seen so many classic, and we sneaked in the pits while the racing was on so got first hand experience , you can also pay and go to go on the track for I think it is 3 laps Saturday morning during a break from the racing !!! Go for it Pete

Forget to say they provided breakfast and a bar (beer ) + television on the camp site , what more would you want
Even the French dressed up as Jock's
Promoting MK1 Performance day at Blyton also
Changing driver in the pits , We got kicked after about 20 minutes , did not have a pass
And some girls

Re: Le mans Classic 2018
I'll agree with Tim and Goff - its a superb event
This will be my 4th visit to the Classic, and everytime i still get the hairs on back of neck tingling moment as the drivers run to their cars for the traditional LeMans start that kicks off the start of the weekends racing

Re: Le mans Classic 2018
I went to "big" LeMans last year, I would certainly like to do classic in the future. I look forward to hearing all about it.

Looks like dew to a crash on the m20 earlier we all missed our trains, there’s limited space for high vehicles.kit of bits wrote:That’s what they said but where still waiting.mk1 wrote:As of 12.45 04.07.18
