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.

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 :D :D :D

Goff

Forget to say they provided breakfast and a bar (beer ) + television on the camp site , what more would you want :) :lol: :lol:

Even the French dressed up as Jock's :lol: :lol: :lol:

Promoting MK1 Performance day at Blyton also :D :D :D

Changing driver in the pits , We got kicked after about 20 minutes , did not have a pass :lol: :lol: :lol:

And some girls :D :D :D

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

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.
I still can’t work it out we missed check in by 30 minuets fair enough but the train was delayed anyway!
But we end up with a four hour delay!

Well, my work here is done. The boys brought the Maserati home to win 3rd place in race 2.
The cars still in tact, clients are happy all good.
Great event, bloody hot. Now I have to wait till 5pm to load and head north!!
