I managed to go at the last minute as a friends passenger. Here's a few pics. Not many Porsches I'm afraid - or much racing for that matter - we went mainly for the fun surrounding the event. Still I'll make up for the lack of Porsches when I'm at the Classic next month

cool - what a great job he's done - it really looked beautiful. Quite tempted to try a ducktail and some graphics on mine but I'm not sure it's the right colour for it.

I caught up with Nigel and his brother on the Friday and his car looked absolutely fantastic.

Nice one Nigel

Leaving for Le Mans

At the tunnel

Driving on the N138

My brother Nick doing his share of the driving

Houx camp site

Had great time the racing was fantastic as all ways it's hard to believe Audi won the race with a diesel powered engine which didn't make any noise
