Many PHers will be planning a trip to the Le Mans 24hrs, but this year also sees the return of the Biennial Le Mans Classic.
This terrific event features a series of races over 24 hours, embracing cars that have competed at Le Mans from the very first race in 1923 right through to the late '70s. It offers a truly wonderful opportunity to relive the history of the Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans and for the first time you can join fellow PHers at ‘The Classic’ with our partners Grandstand Motor Sports.
The package is based on Dover to Calais sailings with P&O ferries and we offer a range of accommodation to suit your needs including camping at Maison Blanche, a comfortable hotel close to the circuit and a private house offering bed and breakfast. Also included is parking on the infield of the circuit for pre-1966 classic cars (and some more modern 'classics'), general entry, grandstand seats and paddock passes. At the infield parking area there is a Grandstand Motorsports hospitality area where refreshments will be offered throughout the weekend.
The programme – 3 or 4 nights
- Thursday 8th or Friday 9th July
Take the crossing of your choice from Dover to Calais and travel at your own pace to Le Mans. Check in to your chosen accommodation, your first engagement is at the circuit on Friday evening where there is a welcome dinner overlooking the circuit whilst practice takes place.
- Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th July
You are free to arrive at the circuit as you wish at the infield parking area. We offer refreshments from our hospitality marquee throughout the weekend, where you can join the PH team for a beverage or two, and for those that wish to do so there is the opportunity to drive two parade laps of the full 24 hour circuit on Saturday morning (see below for prices). Your tickets get you into the paddocks and you have a grandstand seat sitting opposite the pits.
Having checked out of your hotel/packed up your tent make your way back to Calais for your crossing back to the UK.
