Simple question - who's going?

It seems crazy to miss out on what might prove to be an entertaining top-up dose of La Sarthe before the summer's dead.

The ACO is not the sole organiser, so some things are still up in the air - such as which campsites will be operating - but the basic plan is for several races for different eras of cars, all of about 2 hours duration, but races will be run throughout the 24 hours.

The cars will compete in classes stretching from the 1920s to the late 1970s. Quite apart from the chance that some of my beloved Bentleys will be out, could this mean that I might get to see a Porsche 936 racing in anger again? That would be something very special.
