Hi All

Looking at 2024 events, if you had to choose one of the above classic events which would you choose?

Thanks in advance

I’ve done Le Mans, Spa and Nurb Old Timer (separate event to Nurb classic).

Depends on what you are after.

Le Mans is on a different scale to the others but unsurprisingly only focuses on sportscars. Peter Auto at Spa has F1 demos and 70/80s touring cars but still SportsCar focussed. Nurb has a wider spectrum and you’ll see f1 races, DTM legends etc.

Le Mans will be super busy and you’ll need more than 2 days to experience everything. Associated issues with parking and camping/hotels. The other 2 can be done at weekend and are more relaxed. Early May slot can be a problem with weather for Spa. Nurb was disappointing last year for car clubs and only used the GP circuit.

Check the dates - most run every two years with Spa and Le Mans alternating.

Classic Le Mans is HUGE! and you won't get around it all but it's brilliant. We camp stay close and have the fullexperience. Seeing the cars race in darkness is amazing.

Classic Spa is good but smaller, we generally stay in a hotel about half an hour away and drive in every day.
