OK, this looks like fun; copied direct from my press info received a couple of minutes ago. some great films, and if you haven't seen "C'était un rendezvous" please try. It won't tax your staying powers because it only lasts 12 minutes.

Newness 2014: the Drive-In

Who has never dreamed about the drive-in movie theater? It came to us from the United States, combining the two major national industries, auto and film. Le Mans Classic will recreate this atmosphere!
The inflatable screen will be installed nearby the famous Dunlop Bridge. Each spectator, comfortably seated in an authentic Ford Mustang or a deckchair, will be provided with an audio headset so as not to be disturbed by the roaring sound of engines coming from the neighbouring circuit.
Each movie will be shown in its original version with French subtitles for foreign films and English subtitles for French films. This way, both the French and international audience will be able to enjoy the entire programming.
With the assistance of producer MK2, the Drive-In will of course show car movies. The cinema during the race, what a great experience to try!

Not going to the classic sadly, but I saw this earlier and thought it sounded great. Rendezvous is brilliant!

It is a pity the Jean Todt, did not watch Rendezvous before he introduce the new F1 engines.

The camera car is travelling quite slowly if you watch the speed the road markings disappear, it is the overdubbed engine noise that makes the journey appear much faster than it actually was.
