My car is a leased company vehicle. Presume I'll have to organise this through the leasing company. Any ideas?

And a camel toe...

Judging by the recent announcements from Paris and today, London, it looks like diesel (particularly or should I say particulately) and petrol cars are to be excluded from cities. Setting aside the arguments that buses, taxis and gridlocked traffic make pollution worse we are having to accept that change must happen.

Hello electric and hydrogen cell cars.

For the purposes of brevity I'm ignoring the arguments about how clean the power stations are that make the electricity.

My concern, however, is that if all car manufacturers are forced to abandon the internal combustion engine are they really going to be interested in motor sport? Will our favourite sport be solely classic car racing in the future as fewer new cars are produced with internal combustion engines?

Could, indeed, this be the eventual death knell for Le Mans as we know it?

Hi Bob
I'm getting there Friday early, about 7.30am.
How about meeting up Saturday? Will pm you my number.

Steve

Speaking as one who has just gone hybrid I have to admit that I tend to spend more time conserving fuel (tax) than tooling around the highways and the byways.
However.....
I'd love to see a LM grid full of privateers in simpler cars. LMP 3's were awesome at Silverstone in May, and a return to a field full of private GTs would be most welcome.
The racing this year was fantastic but I'm a bit fed up with the "Premier League" factory teams.
There are many on this forum better informed than I but I would be happier watching cars like Lister, Panoz, De Tomaso, Morgan, etc. While we're at it lets see a couple of Blower Bentleys, the odd Norma and a brace of Pescarolas for local interest.

Can we also have a decent tartiflette stall and the return of Le Village to the dust bowl we all grew to love? Oh, and before I forget, a return of the strippers on the funfair and the vague smell of haddock!

Please...

Hi Campers
Is anyone going to the classic this year?
CA meet up?

Steve

Jem, sorry to hear this sad news.
Was Andy one of the Up North Crew during the "Towel heads at the old Poo Bar" era?

Sorry I missed you all. Hope you had a good meet up. Awesome racing today and yesterday at ELMS. Safe trip home everyone.

Amazing! Woodlands campsite has free Internet access. I'm going to walk over to the pub at 9pm.

Current BBC weather forecast says 12 degrees and, most importantly, dry. I can live with that.
Booked a weekend ticket and camping on Woodlands.
Should arrive Friday in time for WEC free practice.
Anyone fancy a beer-meet on the Friday evening or Saturday?

Steve

Thanks Werner.
After 20 # years of LM24 I'm doing my first Classic in 2018 to celebrate my "significant" birthday that year.
Steve

See you there. I'll be the idiot putting up a tent in a snow blizzard like last year.

Could be a good thing Barry with closer, more competitive racing.

I agree Werner, always had a soft spot for Rebellion.

Happy to report that I have become a grandfather to a little boy and just wondered what he can expect to see at his first Le Mans say in 10 years time?
A grid of electric cars?
A return of Group C?
A win by TVR?

Options 2 and 3 I realise are just fantasy. Hope that option 1 doesn't happen but what does the CA crystal ball predict?
