[Old Geezer]

My Le Mans friends and I are off again later this month!

It is in the PH diary, so was wondering how many PHers are also going?


Although we are just spectating, this will give you an idea of the action.

That looks excellent.....may take a trip there in 2009...

[Wacky Racer]

The twin town of Angouleme is Bury.....

Just take a trip there if you want to see what it's like......

Angouleme is lovely and the event is ace. Not goping myself but you will really enjoy it and half the entry tends to be British.

Remember that you are in Cognac country...

[The Walrus]

Nope not this year went in 2006 and holiday in the region a lot, don't forget to set some time aside to sample cognac, pineau foie gras and a few trips to either Saint Emilion or Bordeaux too sample some wonderful wines pick me a bottle of Cheval Blanc 77/76 vintage would be fine.

I've been the last 2 years and although I was planning on going again this year it's not happening I still have all the info on my site which now serves as a free guide. Pictures, map, circuit guide etc. MIght be useful to anyone who is going.

Would be very interested to see how it goes, I was going but dates clashed so went to theZolder 24 instead, which was very good, so am planning to do the Remparts thing possibly next year.

[Old Geezer]

I have been for the last couple of years, as I have a friend with a house nearby where we enjoy his hospitality.

He also has a Blue GT40 Replica so he gets in every where so easy with it!
If you see us come over for a chat!

Bumped into Sir Sterling himself last year in the pits!
Hope he races this year!

I went here last year whilst followuing the rugby. stayed in THE MOST AMAZING place I have ever stayed in for value for money. about 30 mins from angouleme and we had it to ourselves.

Do yourselves a massive favour.........

I am sure that you will find that he is at Goodwood this year.

Not satisfied with having the FoS on Le Mans Classic days, they are now trying to spoil the CdR with the Revival.

P.S. Clay Reggazoni attended Angouleme in 2006, shortly before he died.

Saw the car near the market today; but no one with it!!

[lowdrag]

Well, having been to every Revival I am getting a tad bored and was looking through old photos of the C des R back in the early 1990's. A good relaxing weekend and great fun so I'm giving the revival a miss next year and going back south for the weekend in the new C type. Closer to home and it saves being ripped off by the dearest ferries in the world. Should be a fun jaunt.

[Old Geezer]

Not just VERY old classics racing.




But its the atmosphere that just does it.
