Translated info on the site:

It is now official: the sixth edition of Le Mans Classic will be held on 6, 7 and 8 July 2012. This announcement was eagerly awaited by the many enthusiasts impatient to participate once again in the big classic car event. For three days, some of the most beautiful collection cars will follow each other on the Big Le Mans Circuit and relive the glorious hours of the mythical 24 Hours of Le Mans. In addition to the competition, the spectators will share a convivial moment in a unique atmosphere bringing together Gentlemen Drivers, budding young drivers, clubs and exhibitors. The recipe of success remains the same with the village, the activities, the auction, the race and of course the Little Big Mans parade, now one of the week-end's key moments.

That's in the diary, then. Only about 17 months to go.

I've just had the same email. Must admit I'm tempted to do the classic next year as long as I can watch Lola T70's.
Can you arrange it Christoper?

There were four T70s last year. We can talk about it in June.
Meanwhile, can I have my other h back, please?

[Martini...LB]

I will have to get Dr Sconefinger to point one out to me!!!

As Bas said, very kind. Thank you.

Bas, Chris
Ah, Gentlemen - the posse is finally assembled (9 of us this year), arriving Thursday mid-day. When I get the pitch numbers I'll let you know and you will be most welcome to come over for drinks, canapes and to watch Andy Zarse explain just what's so special about Monster Munch (beef flavour). Dress code? Clothes are optional but preferable but don't feel you have to wear a dress!

Put me down for 1 on 2012 with Team LB..... and I look forward to 17 months of washing up jibes in the meantime.

Fantastic.   The friday will be my 40th birthday. Can't think of a better way to spend a landmark like that than with my buddies at Arnage corner with Leffe et Frites, whilst that Matra screams past. Mint!

Looks like i have a new Alfa to build up in time too. Missed the old one too much. This one is going to be even better

[Fran]

This one is going to be even better

Can't wait.

Just be careful you dont cross wire the air con with the under floor heating like last time!

Sorry Fran, this one will get even hotter- theres a 20KG weight saving to be had by binning the insulation and heatshields

I hate people that lie about their age, then again forty - I can wait :-)
Can't wait for you to point out which car the Matra is... but, BIG BUT, I am planning a cruise with the missus, on a ship, as it is our 50th ( ) so need to make sure it is not in July but that is the month of the wife's birthday!!! The 12th.

Oh jeez, I had better start manipulating.
