Le Mans Classic 2022 - Who is Going ?
Hello,
I will go to the Le Mans Classic days. Who else will go at Le Mans between June 30 and July 2 ? We can organize a small meeting but I don't know where and when yet. Any idea according to the planning ? I won't bring the table this time. |

Yes, indeed.
How about between the Grp C and Endurance Legends races on the Saturday (approx 1230-1330) ? |

It won't be easy to leave a good spot, go to our usual place in the village and come back to a spot in one hour. I suggest to meet saturday at 12:35 near the entrance of the Club ACO of La Chapelle at these coordinates

I am no longer going. BA cancelled my flight and are unable to offer me an alternative on Thursday. At least the compensation from a late cancellation will cover write-off of the tickets!

I've had to cancel my trip due to health reasons.
I have a hospital appointment on Friday. Have fun all of you who will be there. |

I had to cancel my trip too. My wife doesn't feel well enough and I have a pain in my right knee that happened this morning. Bad luck for me but Amandine and Vincent will attend the event though.
Sorry to miss the meeting. |

Another good trip across the channel.
I think the Classic provides a better 'Le Mans' experience than the 24 hours, more relaxed atmosphere, nicer cars in the campsite, some 'high jinx' but no real anti-social behaviour (although one of our group witnessed a heated argument on Maison Blanche over music volume one evening), an earlier finish so you can get back home at a respectable hour. Good to see a large crowd, but it never felt over-crowded, although I suspect lack of video screens in places like Tertre Rouge or the Esses kept people away from those places. It was also good to have cars on track that actually make a noise (and smells!) compared to the muted sounds of contemporary racers. Highlight of the weekend was walking back from the tram stop at Tertre Rouge around midnight on Thursday through a ghost town circuit and Village - being in places you've known for 25 years always heaving with thousands of fans but now you are the only people there, wandering around in silence.... |

I believe there might be an event next year due to the 100 years anniversary. (No idea if that means there will be a 2024 event or will they reset the alternating years and run in 2025?)

It would be good if they had one next year, the centenary is a perfect valid reason to do it too.
