For those having attended the 24 back in the day, say seventies/ eighties or nineties, I suppose the Classic is a kind of rejuvenation. Une cure de jouvence dans ma langue d'origine. When Mulsanne straight was really straight.

didn't attend Le Mans then but a mid eighties 1000kms at Brands Hatch was the noisest event I ever went to (well racing anyway), Classic has a few bursts of engine sounds but not constant.

Well Brands hatch is a lot closer to home (maidstone) but the bowl effect of brands also makes the noise louder. The noise at brands never quite matched the start of le mans in the pit straight to be honest but then again the field was always much smaller.

Brands used to be very noisy. The only time I ever remember my ears actually hurting at a race meeting was at the European GP at Brands in 1985.....

I once emerged from lift into the end of the tunnel in Monaco, probably late 00s, V8 days, thought i would take on the challenge of no ear plugs and first car that came along almost burst my eardrums, never again. Le Mans i find is a nice noise, though my favourite time is the Sunday night, serene peace and quiet, always tell people you'll never find anything quieter than the Sunday night after the race at Le Mans. Imho.

Notwithstanding my previous remark, I first enjoyed them/it in the Dordogne in 1984. More recently we shared a garage at Spa for the 6hrs with a French team who lunched on the largest bowl of Rillettes you've ever seen accompanied by Red wine and french bread. I've now got an indea for the pre race meet up. *slurp*

And you might just make yourself very popular at the meeting, in some quarters, Peter. |

Stopping red wine means they were running out of stock a not long lasting situation…

A few members of my family who have been tell me how good it is round certain points and the noise is something else. Earplugs they tell me are definitely required!
