Hi Guys, Im home again, that was the best driving experience I have ever had and the A610 performed faultlessly again.
I would recommend the Le Mans Classic as a must for anyone who can squeeze it in. Roll on next year.
Thanks again to Stephen , Paul , Shady and all the rest of the guys who looked out for us.
I got some very good video footage, especially of Stephen,s drifting experience on the Le Mans lap.

This event is ten times better than the annual 24 hour event. Only about a quarter of the crowd, much easier to get around, access into all of the paddocks, you can touch the cars, access to the assembly areas and good track side access as well as the pit lane for the lucky few. Even managed to get into the Marshalls bar for cheaper beer and grandstand view over the start line.
So much more relaxed, informal and enjoyable than the other event.

Pat, only the Irish could turn up for a 24 hour race and have to leave for home before the start, but it was great to see you and Norris. BTW, the classic is every second year, so dont go next year.
