Nope - the ACO have slowly ruined the event ..

At the expense of showing my ignorance - who is the ACO ? ( used up a few brain cells last night )

[rev-erend]

Automobile Club Ouest ..

They run Le Mans..

Same here .. 10 excellent years.. but it's now so corporate .. all the real fun is gone and it's also a chav fest..

Shame but the world moves on.

I booked up this morning...it was great last year and it'll be even better this year. It is how you make it, stop the killjoy attitude.
You'll love it

I love Le Mans. Although we have to leave late friday night and come straight back sunday afternoon (My wife is a school teacher) we always have a good time. But if the ACO do ban the LMP1 class that would be a real blow. Has anybody else heard about this?

[WazzaL]

I enjoyed it last year. Even with all that rain!

Just wish you could get slightly closer to the track. Those 2 fences can be rather annoying. But it was still a really good atmosphere.

I'm sure if you are going you'll love the experience and it'd be even better if the sun decides to shine a little more.

Anybody going to the Classic this year?

[RVVUNM]

Tenth time this year,still as good as ever,it IS as good as you make it.

Sorry, let me explain, I'm sure you'll have a great time it's just not like it used to be but then everything moves on and if you don't know what it used to be like then you won't know its changed

The Classic is on the cards though!

It would be good if we could get a convoy going. I will start a 'convoy' thread nearer the time.
