Le Mans Classic 2018
Discussion
Chaps,
Thinking about basing a family event around this next year. I'd have preferred the main event but dates aren't as good.
Rough idea is get a big Chateaux for a few days somewhere remotely near, then those interested ship off to the race for 24hrs and camping for the night.
So I guess my first question is, does this seem workable? Anything I should consider?
Secondly... looking on the website, I've seen something saying shorts aren't allowed! That sounds a bit uptight for my liking, is classic really that bad?

Excellent thanks for the replies. Being an hour or two away (in theory) isn't a problem, as we'll be camping the race night anyway. Already lining up various places, probably backing away from the £5000 a night ones 
Final question (I hope) - for a bit of fun I was thinking about getting some stickers on the cars attending the race (probably 3 cars loaded up). Nothing excessive maybe some numbers on the doors (it's my birthday) and some sort of crest or logo on the bonnet. I'm still gauging the mood of classic so don't know if this is frowned upon or will be okay. Classic race cars had stickers too I'm sure!

We found a beautiful Chateaux in the end, about an hour from the circuit. Pictured with an xj220 outside so I think some petrol heads have been there before!
Getting a little worried about the camping situation now. The plan of drive in Saturday, mince around camp etc then drive out Sunday is sounding more difficult!
