Just got back from a weekend away with the Dorset WSCCers and my son James at the Le Mans Classic and what an experience.........
At the ferry in Poole, so many cars of all marks in the early morning sun looking forward to the weekend,
The drive through France, warm welcomes from the locals, a few of the convoy getting experience of "La priorité à droite" - luckily Westfields have good brakes, finding out how difficult it is to keep more than 3 cars in convoy!
Driving the public sections of the track on Friday morning, lunch with Petrolheads, nights out in Arnage, paying a lot for beer, feeling the need to eat unhealthy food late at night/early in the morning,
The Le Mans Classic - what an event - even with very changeable weather, cars from the 30s to 70s but still driven on and beyond the limit, the paddock area, racing in the dark with awesome noise through the Grandstand area - 24 hrs split into 1 hour races x 3 for each of the age groups.
Campsite with a many groups, Ferraris, Mustangs, European RSs, Lotus, Jags, TVRs MX5s etc, beautifully customised American 50s cars and 6 Westfields plus an Aston - lots of banter and admiration.
The drive home, again the enthusiasm of the locals, stop off at the D-Day beaches followed by a not so enjoyable night drive from Poole to Yeovil.
Strongly recommended to other Westfield owners, we did see another couple over the weekend - one even making it into the on circuit display area...
