How much I do love Le Mans, being there twice only a few weeks apart does seem to stretch it a little bit, yes!

There's quite an interesting thread in the Historic Racing Today section describing the trials and tribulations of people trying to get their cars onto the entry list. Seems quite a kerfuffle with lots of tension spread over many months, often ending in disappointment.

From a punter's point of view, ten T70s, 14 GT40s and a couple of 917s? Can't wait.
Also, a couple of 512BBs, which was my childhood poster-on-the-wall car.
Really can't wait.

Yes I will be there as well from friday.
Any good tips for parking? How is the museum ?
I'm looking forward to see another great event like Monaco Historique.
Cheers

The rouge car park is probably better as it has easy access to everything and easier to get in and out of.

Lotus 15, Lotus Elite, Deep Sanderson and GT40, is that right?
And a certain Mr Pirro in 2 of them.
Where are we likely to find you, Roger?

Yep, going back again!! I only went to the first Classic.

Going with Truckosaurus and a few others (non-tententhers).

Plus taking our eldest, so it will be interesting to see how he gets on with La Sarthe. He's been to the Britcar 24hrs, but that's only down the road for us...

We should be in MB just after lunch on Thursday, might see you there or perhaps at the smaller ten=tenths meet on saturday at 12.00, truckosaurus knows the place and both Eric (batmobile) and me so if you can make it see you there

Does anyone here happen to have an extra paddock pass they'd like to sell?

Already pestered the racers on Historic forum but no luck!

I'm attending on Friday.

Thanks! - Earl

Well sorted all the camping gear out again, only been in the loft 2 weeks and sorted out enough cloths for the dubious weather they are predicting for the classic, it will be a squeeze getting everything in the stag but as there are only two of us we can put heavy stuff on the back seat (roof will be down unless it rains hard) will arrive tomorrow afternoon and hope to see a few familiar faces down there, meeting Eric and who ever else turns up on saturday at the usual meeting place in the village at 12.00 so anyone else who fancies a chat and a glass or two please come along.

It would appear as if Motors TV is gonna provide some live coverage of each day's running! They've really upped their game this year, haven't they. See the listings:
Friday 10PM (95 min)
Saturday 10PM (95min)
Sunday 4PM (95min)

Also highlights show later

However, unlike in 2010, Radio Le Mans won't be covering this year's event
