PAST EVENT REPORTS

Le Mans Classic 2006 July 8/9

The baking hot weather continued from the 24Hrs in June and over 500 guests enjoyed a full programme of action at the Classic Le Mans. We were pleased to welcome guests from all parts of the world including members of at least two competing teams and the MG Owners Club and Club Lotus. The gatherings for celebration meals at Château d'Eporcé and the Abbaye de Champagne were a great success and the enormous variety of classic and sports cars assembled as usual created huge interest. New venues Fardeliere and La Belle Fontaine proved very popular and our regular 24Hrs group party from the Porsche Centre Cambridge staying at Amboise enjoyed their first visit to the Classic Le Mans.

Le Mans 24 Hrs 17/18th June 2006

We were yet again fully booked for a very hot and sunny 24Hrs. Guests included the welcome return of the Porsche White Lightning Team from the US. They came over from Eporcé to Moné on a number occasions between the test weekend and the race for a BBQ and glass of wine. They are super group of guys and always pleased to tell you the latest track side news and gossip. Sadly they crashed out in the early hours of Sunday morning but still managed to join us for the farewell BBQ at Eporcé on the Sunday night.

The Camp site at Château Eporcé was again brimming over with a fine selection of cars. Camping at the Le Mans 24Hrs is a tradition and not simply confined to those with a limited budget. This was clearly evident by the number of exotic cars on the camp site. Ferrari, Porsche, Aston. Bentley, Jaguar, Lotus, TVR, to name but a few marques present.

Jaguar, TVR, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo to name but a few. Ninety guests enjoyed the Friday Banquet and over one hundred and twenty the Farewell BBQ on Sunday evening. See photos on Recent Events.

Many guests have provisionally reserved their space for next years race on 18/19th June.


Le Mans Classic 2004 July 24/25

Well over one hundred Callander Classic guests enjoyed a memorable time at the second Classic Le Mans July 24/25. One guest described our time there as being two events, one at the circuit and the other at Mone, one of our venues, where all our guests at some time during the weekend enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and BBQ meals.

The celebration informal dinner at the Abbaye de Champagne also proved a great success and the traditional local fare served in no less than seven courses was enjoyed in a typically prolonged dinner leaving most filled to the gunnels, some exhausted but everyone content.

The next Le Mans Classic is going to be very busy indeed judging by the requests from guests to return with us in 2006, not to mention those who intend to join us for the Le Mans 24hrs June 11/12 2005. Photos of our time at the Classic can be seen on our Recent Events page and on our official photographers web site www.nexus-photography.co.uk
