I was there four years ago (pre-Morgan ownership) and as classic motor sport events go it's right up there with Goodwood Revival. This year I'm taking the Morgan and have booked everything through Vinmog. Being with the rest of the Morgans inside the circuit is a big plus. I sure you'll have great time.

Go to https://vinmog.fr/en/who-are-we/past-gatherings/ and you will see there are five collections of pictures or stories. Just click on each and you will get a very good idea of the whole VinMog atmosphere Quentin

All,
Just wondering if there are any people planning to go this year? I have never been and think its either now or never! The feedback seems to be its a bit more "refined" than the "normal" Le Mans.
Thanks
T taffy , its a different event entierly than the modern one , I've been several times and its a better every time , you won't see as many incredible classic cars anywhere and many are of course racing , there's lots going on off track as well , amazing atmosphere , you must go ! Going with Vinmog this time instead of tent !

This will be the fourth time for me. Traveling with VinMOG and camping. Hotels used by VinMOG are very good, and atmosphere and company of fellow Morgan owners makes for an enjoyable time. I’m camping next to the circuit to get the full 24 hours of racing car and fellow mad Morgan owners atmosphere.

Third time for me as well - all arranged by Quentin. It's a full-on 4 days - travelling down on Thursday, when the docks and French roads have wall-to-wall classic cars, which adds to the experience and atmosphere. The French know that many of us travel home on the Monday, and are quite often seen along the routes back to the channel crossings with cameras poised.
Great weekend!!!

But beware - the French folk with cameras are not just those wishing to get pictures of nice cars - there will also be some wishing to get pictures showing the speed at which they are being driven. This can prove costly!

If you have an acceptable classic car they can work out where you can park within the clubs space inside the circuit - otherwise it is the modern car park outside the circuit at an extra cost,
Quentin
Interestingly there is a "happy few" list of cars allowed inside the circuit and it includes modern cars of either special sporting character or of makes that won at le Mans. So all Morgans are allowed whatever the age, all Lotus, all Maserati, all Ferrari , all Porsche except Macan. It even allows in the Xbow! See here
