Isn't there usually a Le Mans Legends race on the sat morning, I can't find it listed anywhere this year, is it because its the LM Classic in July?

Thanks, the first link is actually last year, 2015 but the 2nd one does state its absence, shame.

Not really. The sight of 3 cars owned by someone happy to let proper racing drivers actually race them followed by a load of rich tts out for a sunday drive isn't that interesting. The Road to Le Mans race was actually very good to watch.

That said given the choice I'd have a legends race rather than the Ferrari Challenge "look how much money but howe little driving tallen I have!" race. When you've seen 1 Ferrari Challenge car you've more or less seen them all. When you've seen 50 even the WEC stand in the Village becomes more interesting.
