Does anyone know anything about this?
It was mentioned on Eurosport in June when the Le Mans Classic Group C race was on, and I'd love to go and see it, but I can't find much about it.

Go and see them, you won't be disappointed. You also get EuroBOSS (F1 cars), Grand Prix Masters (older F1 cars, pre 1977), Euro F3000 and SEATs (yawn).

I went, I saw, I loved it.
The Grand Prix Legends and the Euroboss were very good to watch too.
How is it that a race with 7 older F1 cars running was far more exciting than a full grid of current F1 cars?
There was even overtaking, I have photographic eveidence on film!

I was there too and it was a very good day - shame it was such a small crowd.

The Euro3000 race was very good and in some ways having it interupted by East Midlands Monsoon was ratehr good - it was like getting two races for the price of one and it was interesting to see who shone in both conditions.

As for the old F1 cars - I remember them first time round

Can't say I was won over with the Seats though.

Rather crap aren't they? We went in the paddock to drool over some Group C cars when they were on.
