Top weather conditions and a crowd of over 80000 who watched excellent racing at Le Mans Classic 2008.
Racing myself in Grid 2 (finished 37th overall )with my Lotus Eleven S1 that I had first met at Le Mans Classic 2004 when ACOC member Keith Jecks had brought her there, I did not have much time to meet with other AC folks this year. Just been to the "apéro" of the ACOC / AC Club France dinner at Arnage on Friday night, to say hello and apologize for not attending in an AC ;-).
Many ACs were on the various grids and performed very well.
ACOC member Peter Come was part of the team placed 2nd in the team results (he was on Grid 1 driving an Aston Martin LM.
Here are the results (hope I have not forgotten anybody).
