It's billed as having "a special tribute to Steve McQueen".

The strap line reads; Celebrating The Spirit Of Le Mans. 'The Heritage. The Heroes. The Legend'

Admin is £12 online, in advance only. Accompanied under 16's free.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Looks like an awesome day, the 512 with Enzo looking on is just gorgeous.

Looked to be some nice cars there looking at those pictures, shame they cramed them all up so close to each other and against a fence, why on earth display stuff so close to each other that you can't get a proper look at the car other than from the front.

Great pictures - thanks.
Erm.....there are two shots of the Gulf DB9R #009, one undercover and still carrying what looks like 24hr muck and the other in the open air and very clean. Did they wash it during the day or am I missing something??

Two different vehicles.......unless they swapped the bonnet, front fenders, door mirrors and front splitter during the cleaning process.

There were, indeed, two different 009's

The "dirty" one is the real LM GT1 winner, still resplendent in its LM 2008 dirt.  Yours for a 'mere' £950,000

The lady in question was Kate Silverton, who's always been my favourite Monday to Friday lunchtime news on the BBC female news presenter-type person

Kate Silverton

Another hand wringing Guardian reading leftie, who would ban any dangerous sport, including motor racing, if they had a chance, cos someone might get hurt.

One of the reasons I now watch Sky news rather than the ever so slightly biased Beeb.

Presume you were not admiring her mind.
