Recognition at last!
On the Le Mans Classic 2008 website the Clubs section carries a picture of part of the Club line-up at the 2006 event.
The entry list is also up.
Take a look at Grid 5 - magic!

"The clubs, the princes of the gathering, are on the front seats at Le Mans Classic."

Right....

At least they didn't say 'Queens'.

Emailed out the next update of the travel/accommodation info this evening. There are a number of common trends appearing now, so hopefully people will find this info useful.

Cheers,

Max

Max

Can you pm or email me the data, yet to book a ferry so will be useful to see what others are doing.

Thanks

Maxiboy · 02-09-08, 04:27 PM

Just sent out the next update.

Malc, I can do provided you will then be sending me your details to add to the list (I presume you are a member of the GT40EC too anyway). Please let me have your email address in the meantime, as your profile one will not allow me to send you an email.

Cheers,

Max

Was just 'reminiscing' some pics from LMC06 at the weekend, and believe (from other pics)mine is actually 4th back, and yours is 5th.

Cheers,

Hi to all attending the Classic this year, here is so info about the dress code from the organisers.
Le Mans Classic celebrates "the" Automobile and it is an interactive play…

On the occasion of Le Mans Classic, the 24-Hour-circuit produces a set paying tribute to fifty years of its history celebrated by Le Mans Classic. Modern cars are prohibited inside the circuit to preserve this unique past times atmosphere. All the actors, drivers wherever they are –on the track or inside the paddocks-; club members; partners and their guests endeavour to perform on the stage.

The public (over 70,000 people in 2006), is encouraged to do likewise. Thus, we kindly ask the spectators to visit Le Mans Classic correctly dressed up. The actors of this temporary show, who come often from abroad, will for sure appreciate to receive in return their visitors' tribute.

To visit the paddocks if no proper dress code is enforced, 'jacket and tie' is preferred. On the other hand, tracksuits, shorts and bare-chested are strictly prohibited.

David Morton · 02-16-08, 04:18 AM

Thats no fun Roy - what will the girls do now they can't wear shorts........

Dave Bilyk · 02-16-08, 03:35 PM

Dave,
you're right, maybe they should all wear nurses outfits, or period housemaid uniforms, wait, this is France, Folies Bergeres outfits.
Woops thats a few of my fetishes out in the open.

What sort of things should or could we wear as participants, race togs or what? This would be a good point for people who have been before to enlighten us newbies.

roy snook · 02-17-08, 03:44 PM

Hi Dave M,
I'm more disappointed that they won't get in if they are bare chested, haven't the organisers realised how good this would be for event publicity!

Dave Bilyk, I think they are trying to pursue the 'Goodwood' look.
Why not look up Goodwood Revival and get some ideas from that, for example, drivers of cars could wear period overalls? If you avoid jeans and T shirts then you should have no problem getting into the paddocks anyway.
regards
Roy
