Le Mans Classic 2016
The Le Mans Classic is a biennial motor racing event, taking place for the 8th time in 2016 to try and cement its place as one of the greatest historic Motorsport events. The show puts together the cars that made history between 1923 and 1979, and is expected to showcase more than 350 participants for this years iteration. Some cars include an Aston Martin LM 1931, a Ferrari 250 GT Bedinetta 1960, Ford GT 40s from the mid 1960s and the infamous Porsche 917 from the early 70s. In addition to the exhibition of wonderful cars, this car meeting will feature an auction of collector's cars and automobilia.Pharrell Williams sporting his Richard Mille RM 52 Skull
Another addition to this years event - because it is an event as opposed to just a race - is the drive-in theatre. Inspired by the United States, Le Mans Classic look to merge two major national industries, cars and film. An inflatable screen will be installed near the famous Dunlop Bridge, with guests allowed to be seated in an authentic Fiat 124 Spider, Fiat Abarth, Fiat 500 S, or simply a deckchair. There will be headphones provided, thankfully, to cut out the noise of the neighbouring circuit.
Overall, Le Mans Classic is an event that should excite every petrol head with all the events and things to do - let alone the stunning array of motorcars on display for all to gawp at. www.lemansclassic.com.
