I think I'd like to try the Le Mans Classic next time, for a change[]

3 Weeks today Nick if you fancy another trip[][][]

Ah well, we snuck through the woods and ended up on the inside of the track on the last short straight before Porsche Curves. We were only 8ft from the track, so the noise and spectacle was phenomenal. Well worth the scratches from the thorns and mud on the boots from the streams we had to jump![]

We managed to stay there for 2 hours on the Saturday afternoon, until the marshalls spotted us and asked us to retreat a little[8|]

The rest of the pics are on the PCGB trip to Le Mans photos thread.

Cheers

Goodwood Revivial will be 19th-21st Sept; I'm going.

Don't forget to kit up in period costume. You will stand out a MILE if you don't.
