Yes, will once again be back there marshalling out at poste 106.

Leave Wednesday AM on Poole-Cherbourg fastcat, slow drive down to Arnage via tourist spots this time.

And we have Radio Le Mans (91.2FM) to help us know what's going on.

Did you see 3 Austin Healey 3000's? Red White and Purple - if so that was my party heading for Dover.

I will be heading off tomorrow after I pick my son up from school at Midday and joining up with them in La Sarthe

I wish it was so, but sadly, I'm stuck here. Surviving on memories of 2008.
Ayari into Tertre Rouge at dawn.
Porsche 917 howling beneath him.
Ah, a 38 year old dream fulfilled!
This year you have Dickie Attwood and Vern Schuppan in a 917. I wonder if it's an official Porsche?

There is a massive thread in the Historics, BTW...

I arrived at 5pm for the plateau 4. Sorry for having missed the "classic" meeting. I met Kpy then Batmobile in the evening.
The event was fabulous ; I loved the flames of the 935 after the Mulsanne corner.

Question: does the LM classic use the full Sarthe circuit or just stick to the Bugatti circuit?

Well, It was easier to go to Arnage and Mulsanne than during the 24 h race. So I could see the same but At Arnage corner, not only the 935 had big flames, but also BMW M1 and two or three Lola T29.., don't remember exactly.

They were most certainly on the full circuit, the noise of 65 cars on the pit straight at the start of 5 and 6 plateau's was incredible, it made the june event seem like a very mutted afair, but the wait for the cars to come around again on 1 and 2 gave you time to read serveral articles in the programmes.

We had a great time and meet and talked to some very interesting people in the paddocks as always
