Now prices for anything old or interesting have gone bananas and nice cars are in the hands of investors instead of enthusiasts, will this have a negative effect on the atmosphere at LM 2015?

A big part of the event for me is being surrounded by a mix of fantastic, rare, unusual or just much loved motors. The variety of cars attending seems to have fallen a little over the last few years. Will it fall further this year? Or is Le Mans enough of a draw to get the collectors to come down and show off for a weekend?

I don't think the threat of rain really makes much odds to the sort of enthusiast who's mad on Le Mans and keen to show their car off.

Said car suddenly being worth £50k more than it was a couple of years ago might though, even if they've kept it in the face of big offers or more likely been priced out of buying it in the first place?
