New Le Mans Classic Event - 29/30 September 2007
Discussion
The ACO have decided to inaugurate a new classic event which will take place every 2nd year when the Classic isn't on. It isn't racing but a big meeting of clubs and like minded people and they are working on about 40,000 per day coming. I am involved somewhat and while it isn't a racing event there will be a tour of the track (probably behind a pace car though) and basically a good weekend boozing and having fun.The classic mags will I am sure be picking up on it so if interested keep your eyes peeled.
I've just received the following letter from the ACO:
