Not me sadly, I only ever made the first one 10 years ago when it was (IMO) sensibly arranged for September!

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. |

Le Mans Classic 2012
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.

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... |

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.

Sadly, I just cannot be there this year.
Should you see a lady 'of a certain age' with a Maserati Merak, with the reg no. MER4K, say "Hi Ange!" for me please! |

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 Last edited by Deleted; 5 Jul 2012 at 12:37. |
