Do the Classic, sooner rather than later, every year goes by it loses a little of it's charm.
Do they race?
Johnny Herbert getting a D type side ways out of the Ford chicane, serious damage to a GT40 during a race.
My abiding memory of the Classic is an MGB trying to keep up with 3 Gt40's on the opening 2 laps of one race.
Was he trying, hell yes!

Barry,

Damm, I guessed that you would day that.

I am so annoyed with myself booking the Revival. :(

I know Lord March does a great job, but... seeing the Le Mans races at at the Members 72nd Meeting made me think that I should see the cars in their natural environment t.

That has been the time for the last few years, and although we were queued up outside they did not open the gates early, or maybe it was 1.30 last time, I just had a vodka induce twitch in my brain cell...

I have had confirmation from the ACO that MB gates will be open at 10am on Thursday 3rd July... earlier than usual.

I am deeply envious of you all.  >:D

I have made a mental note to go in 2016.

I'm interested in any insight that you make, so please use the forum to share.

Hi all - What about a CA meet at the Classic? Saturday 9:00 pm at the Courbes bar - inside dunlop chicane?

Sounds like a plan  ;D though I do not think there are many CA'ers going to the Classic.
