LM24 Le Mans Classic 2016

GT6 · 24 Jun 2016, 19:23 (Ref:3654933)

OK thought i would start this off, in exactly 2 weeks i will be back there for the Classic, camping in blue nord this time and taking the little car (blue MR2 roadster) going down with a green stag and a blue slk this year.
I know several of you will be there but lets see if there are any others out there, Post details here, i will also be meeting a few people on the saturday but will post that in a different thread.

As always, I'd love to do it again, but having it so close to the main event makes it completely impossible for me, both financially and work-wise.

Truckosaurus · 25 Jun 2016, 19:19 (Ref:3655089)

Yes. We're attending and camping in Epinettes as per the 24hrs.

Should arrive Friday lunchtime.

Mike Bell · 25 Jun 2016, 19:56 (Ref:3655097)

There's a few 'historic' tenthers racing as well, some more historic than others.....

Nearer the event I'll try and list who's in what, as would be good to say Hi to any other forum members! Think most of us will be staying in Houx- under canvas, in van or camper. Arriving Wednesday to join the queue.........

Having seen Glastonbury on telly after all the rain, just hoping that Houx has recovered from the 24 so I don't need wellies everywhere!

Michel Vaillant · 27 Jun 2016, 13:24 (Ref:3655394)

I will be here

I read in newspaper about a kind of economic crisis following the Brexit, i hope there will not many withdrawal from teams or fans

GT6 · 27 Jun 2016, 14:32 (Ref:3655399)

No crisis, shares and currency fluctuations but nothing exciting, most cost already incurred only petrol and food/drink to buy. political parties in the uk are having internal brawls but in reality not much different today from last week.

I'm not saying times are hard but I am planning on taking a Doggy Bag away from the Meetup.

Been doing that after the main meet for the last few years, always some stuff left and we divide it up so that it is not just thrown away. Will post something about mini meet at classic soon.

courageous · 27 Jun 2016, 18:42 (Ref:3655443)

I'll be hot footing it from Work on Thursday night down to Pompy & getting the overnight ferry & train (then shooting of on Sunday to get back & up to Silverstone for the F1 testing).

Timetable

Friday into Saturday there is a whole 5 hours with nothing on track - outrageous!

canamman · 27 Jun 2016, 23:15 (Ref:3655501)

The Daytona Classic 24 was a fantastic event and will alternate
years with this event. If anyone has any streaming or timing links
during the weekend, please post. Even a youtube clip would be
appreciated.

Oh there are.... there are just cunningly disguised as race fans

I will be at the Classic - taking the namby route and staying in town for a different perspective

Michel Vaillant · 29 Jun 2016, 08:33 (Ref:3655732)

It's a return to the original timetable of LMC, with the first grid ("plateau 1") for the beginning, then grid 2, grid 3 etc. etc.

Last time, they started by grid 3 or 4, at 17 hours (a little late...).

I prefer when the chronologic order of periods is respected

Mike Bell · 30 Jun 2016, 19:23 (Ref:3656000)

Would be nice to meet up with other forum members during the event, but looking at the race schedule, not sure it's possible!

I've gone through the entry list, and although the following isn't definitive (apologies if I've missed anyone), these are the (entered) cars owned by / being driven by / with links to 'Tenthers'.......

Plateau 1

#46 Talbot 105
#47 Bentley 4 1/2 litre

Gents - first time back on this site since the 24.
Re the Classic, my boss is going down (not me) - do you know if there are any special ACO member areas like for the 24?

GT6 · 1 Jul 2016, 13:41 (Ref:3656121)

yes the area by the dunlop is there again and obviously the aco building on the main straight, but you need a grandstand seat in the aco stand to watch the race from there. he will need to register on arrival and get a wrist band.
