It’s been a trend for a few years but the CBW is now largely French registered cars, a lot of them American.

Still a lovely place to spend a morning and still some gems, but on the whole there is less variety and fewer blue-chip special cars.

Do the brits hang out elsewhere now, or does this just reflect lower attendance from our side of the channel?

Great event from my perspective as first timer. Lots of awesome cars, and many part of driver parade later in day

Was very hot and busy - lots of good cars but lots of French registered Corbettes and few other makes I can’t remember

Good good and great value - cash only

Bar pretty ok cash or card

Getting to CBW early is the Key hang around for an hour then go elsewhere.
Trouble is trying to cram it all in! Getting to the CBW is now not as easy as it used to be with road closures around traffic calming residential areas.

There is now also the car show at Mulsane corner, then some like to do Pit walk, And some drive all the way over to La chartre sur loir to visit Hotel De France where Jacki Ixx and Derek Bell frequent from time to time and then later in the afternoon get to Le mans town centre for the Drivers Parade!

So all this affects attendance at CBW
