Hi Nick,
If Le Mans is looking out then maybe the Classic Le Mans might be better.
It¹s normally run a few months after Le Mans, features all the older Le mans
cars like Porsche 917¹s and 956¹s and they make the modern cars look slow
and quiet!!!!! They also run on the old circuit layout and don¹t have to
worry about the modern race restrictions.
Also it¹s not as manic as the normal Le Mans but you get just as many Super
cars, events etc as you do at the normal Le Mans.
