Each plateaux will have 60 plus cars in it and therefore plenty of different races within each race, There are massive differences in speed yes but with plenty of cars and a long lap, within a few laps they are spread out and fighting thier own battle with cars of a similar age and performance

And because eac h plateau races 3 times you get to see each one race twice in the light and once in the dark, if you manage to stay awake, i usually pick the which time is best to grab some sleep. However there are usually a few incidents that throw the whole programme into a mess for a while.

e.g. 2 leading GT40s very close for 5 or 6 laps before both crashed off in drizzly weather or 7 cars line a stern going through Porsche Curves plus lots of offs and trailers out. |

Thanks for that, so might see it this year as also doing the silverstone classic, watched them racing the cars at lemans in the "old days" so excited to see them actually doing what they were built for rather than sitting shamefully in exhibitions like stuffed animals. IMHO

Actually two out of the eleven chassis built are owned privately.
002/3 was sold in 2001 after achieving a podium at Le Mans. 004/1 (the Shaun Lynn car) finished fourth at Sebring in 2003 and was fastest in the Le Mans Test Day that year. |

For your information, there will be a book published soon on the Speed 8, it is almost at the printing stage.
Author, Andrew Cotton, has had extensive access to Bentley's archives and the key persons in this fine story. |

The LMP side is a bit thin but alright With these 2000's cars coming in to the event, the Classic is definitely looking more interesting than the actual 24 Hours where the awful (2021-) regulations have ruined the fun |

Stand tickets for Classic
Don't believe the stand tickets for Classic are seat specific (know main event stand tickets are) as seem to remember they are normally up to 80% full at peak times and it was a matter of sitting where there was space.
Can anybody confirm if this is case for LM Classic and in particular ACO stand - as may buy 4 direct at Members rate and then another 2 from ticket operator. |

They are non specific, but think the ACO stand are not available through agents only the aco itself or tourist office.
