The Classic had better be good!!!

[FLAT 6]

Watching qualifying on Eurosport....first time in a long time not sitting on the bank above Maison Blanche watching the same thing. At least the in-car shots are impressive.

Hope the Classic is a good replacement!!!!!

The showers are better here. Beers not so tasty though and tomorrow will not be so interesting.

[rralston]

Totally agree - I was doing the same last night and wondering why a)I couldn't hear the cars thunder into Indy, and b)I could still speak and walk in a straight line.

All wrong, all very wrong! Bring on the Classic!

[ettore]

Same here, first time I'm not going for about 12 years and I'm really missing it. Still, we can gloat in a months time!.

[n1ckm]

Ditto ! Only the 2nd year in 8 that we haven't been and it doesn't feel quite right ! Roll on the Classic......

[molestrangler]

Double ditto, have a feeling the Classic might be a little more partyish this year as a lot of 24 hour regulars are going to the classic

You will enjoy the classic, i hope it is not alot more popular than in 06 because it was nice to sit anywhere you liked and go and look over the cars as they were about to form up, your only missing a few diesels!! just stand behind a T70 or 250LM(literally) when it fires up and you will forget all about those pesky Audis.

Not long now, and i can't wait.

For those that haven't been before and like the sight, sound and smell of race engines through Arnage and Inianapolis. Two pictures for you… An Audi R10 diesel whispering by or a BMW M1 spitting 5 ft radius blue flames on each up shift and 10ft long fire trails on lift off………

Classic IS great, you won’t be disappointed..

Touch wood (stop giggling) the Chavs will stay away, it was a wonderful event in 06, i just hope it is as good, Goodwood is on a different weekend i think so we may get even more cars this year.

The Classic is excellent - Group 5 is - click here

I shot this video at the last one. As you can see, you can really get in amongst the cars...

[Cobra Andy]

Only 4 weeks left for those of us heading to the classic, in fact only 3.5 weeks till we get there on the wednesday....
BRING IT ON, lets hope with the extra people going that its as good as 06.
you can keep your diesels

[TonySim]

Great video Humpy, I was there in 2006 and will be again in 2008. The sounds and smells are incredible.

Between +25% and +30% ticket sales from what I hear

SS7

[BILTEL]

I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I wonder if the rise in ticket sales have anything to do with the stag party/ chavs ruining LM for the normal fans.

Not long now.

Smoking down on the Thursday morning through the tunnel.

Those Corvettes accelerating past the pits/ grandstands are the loudest thing I have ever heard.........gave me goosebumps on my arms just from the sound, glorious !!

Less than four weeks left to wait.

Cheers,

Just got back from the 24HRS and I was looking through my Classic Race timetable. I am really looking forward to seeing the younger classics from the 70s and 80s as i can relate to them more (not to say I don't appreciate the older ones, especially from the 60s) ... and am a little dissapointed that the timetable has them running from about 20.00 - 00.00 on Saturday night and again at about 04.00-08.00 Sunday morning ... not a lot of sleep for me that night then

Now then, do I clean and de-sticker the car or just leave it as it is and just get in a drive all the way back in four weeks?

You made good time!

We left earlier in the day and had to make do with text updates ... however, it was a brilliant, practically traffic free run up with NOT ONE single gendarme to be seen.

Hope the others faired as well
