Le Mans classic

lmc_uk
Le Mans Classic was born from an audacious gamble, to propose every other year to former Le mans racers, a retrospective of the most famous race in the world along the big Le Mans temporary racetrack. Day and night races, a huge Club meeting, an automobilia shopping village and an auction, in one word, Lady Automobile celebration: target reached from the first event in 2002. Le Mans Classic, which grows at each event has become one of the worldwide must do events of its field.

Regarding figures, we have over handpicked 400 cars on the track, split into six grids; over 6000 club cars displayed in the Bugatti circuit, hundred or so mini-cars on the track for 6 to 13 years old budding drivers, around 100,000 spectators in 2008… And 3 days, 2 nights to enjoy the show!
