Le Mans Classic 2012
Re: le mans
Best memory, before it got too regulated, was over taking MGs down the straight,, doing 120+, being passed by GT 40s, when an Enzo came past at about 180mph. 4 abreast no room for error. Didn't mind being passed that time. The noise was unbeatable. Now over priced, over regulated, too safety conscious, no fun any more. Not going back this year.

Not only do we have an increasing number of mobile speed cameras being deployed by the local gendarmerie, and they will for sure picking out overseas visitors to the LMC, but just check this out;Tomaselli wrote:For those paying homage and visiting the great 2012 Le Mans Classic in France, just be careful of the new breed of speed cameras that are being deployed across the country. The visiting 'British' folk will be easy prey me thinks.

Bigbob will be dissapointed that no more "light driving beers" can be had
In addition to the new high tech style speed cameras being rolled out across France, that I posted earlier in this thread, thought I'd also report on the new legislation in France that comes into effect in July - to coincide with the LMC

Myself (in a red '65, 260ci) + a TVR pal, and 9 other cars, inc. 5 Vipers, will be heading over on the thursday 825am Dover-Calais ferry for an off-highway trip down. After a brief stop to let the Tour-de-France pass from Rouen, we should make it in good time to one of the campsites. Returning on the monday 1715 ferry. Is there a classics/ Tiger/ Cobra (50th anniversary?) meet nearby LM during the weekend??

No single crossing or routing but most will be driving down through Northern France during the Thursday on N roads. The usual route taken is here:
