I used to go more or less every year, missed about 3 since 1984... Went last year but not too sure if I can be arsed this year! Forgot to book reserved parking ticket (which makes arriving late easier)
The week before the classic in July there is a track day there on the bugatti circuit so was thinking of doing that instead of the race..
Will be very interested to hear what you think of the Classic, have you been before?

No not been to the classic before. I have been going to Le mans since 1995 and was not as impressed last year, not sure why? Thats why we thought we would give the classic a try this year.

I have been invited to the track day the weekend before but won’t be going as I have either got to come back in-between or stay for the whole week. Would love to do the track day though, even if it is just the Buggatti circuit!!

Cheers

It's only about 450 miles as there is now a ferry from near Edinburgh to Zeebruge :)
Just hoping the Dutch and French authorities won't object to strongly to the race cans !!!!
