Is it me or is the classic this year not on the full circiut?

The poster shows only the Buggati circiut but from the web site
"There are two conditions in the way that must be satisfied before accessing the unimaginable thrill of the Hunaudières straight:
The driver must have an FIA International Competition licence
But also
He must own - or share - a car, or sister car, which competed in the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1923 and 1979.
And the choice is extensive amongst the 612 models from 166 makes listed in the eligible type list
This is the least to be expected to form the most beautiful Le Mans 24 Hours grid ever!"

Hmmm...
As you say the map shown in the event link does highlight the Bugatti circuit.
But
The on the track link says 'LE MANS CLASSIC: 13.650 KM OF EXCITEMENT!'
A little confusing

That has been the case for the last two events, althought the Buggatti circuit features on all the adverts they do infact use the full circuit. It is the only other event from the 24hours that uses the full circuit!
The Bugatti circuit is incidently used to get the groups of cars from the assembly areas onto the circuit.
