Re: Le Mans Classic 2018
My tickets arrived over the weekend, my parade laps are Series 1 at 0900 on Friday with the P Club Vert P13A Espace Collection and Series 6 at 08:30 on Saturday with jaune dammers (yellow chequers). I've just got back from a weekend of hill climbing at Shelsey Walsh, the car pulled nicely up the hill and the radiator ducting/oil coiler has solved the heating issues, nearly 300 miles over the weekend so now confident that the cars ready for the run to Le Mans.

Re: Le Mans Classic 2018
My tickets for the entry and tent pitch have arrived. We are staying at Beausejour, which is the camp site marked yellow on the infield.
Anybody interested might PM me their mobile number so we can relay overthere.
We are still working on the car, it is in the paint shop now:

Re: Le Mans Classic 2018
Got back from the Classic late last night. An excellent weekend, saw 3 other Elevens, 1st on the Friday morning parade and the two others in Arnage - at least 2 appear on here I believe and 1 was at Stoneleigh. The parade laps were outstanding, I never saw the pace car and went as fast I dare after a first sighting lap, the 50mph limit on French roads made the drive there and back fairly relaxed.

You drove passed me as the lhs row went out onto the track - I'll watch my video to see if I can see you. I also remember a silver Esprit on the Sunday going through the Porsche curves, Ford chicane and onto the main straight. Hope you get the car back safe and sound

We did see the Aston Martin green XI but nobody around to have a chat with.
We also saw an XI standing still together with a yellow 7 on the Sunday afternoon after the races, the 7 appeared to have a technical issue. Someone from here?
