Calendar Event: 11 Jun

Saint Saturnin Classic British Welcome
10th Edition 2010

The St Saturnin Classic British Welcome takes place on Friday 11th June - just before the Le Mans 24 Hours - at St Saturnin, just a few miles north of the centre of Le Mans.

ENTRANCE & PARKING FREE!

Those who have been will know that the event welcomes interesting and exciting cars from not just Britain, but all over Europe. There is ample free parking, food, drink, music, films, even a car washing facility, and the chance to meet friends and look over the other interesting “machinery”, all in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.

Each year a particular marque is chosen to be highlighted. For 2010 the featured car is Corvette! There will be reserved parking for Corvettes, a special indoor display showcasing a cross section of Corvettes and as always, selected examples of the featured marque are included in the convoy of cars that departs from St Saturnin to participate in the Parade des Pilots in the city of Le Mans.

This years event also has an exceptional line-up of special guests. Local hero and Corvette racer Luc Alphand , together with the 2009 LMS GT1 Champion, Patrice Gouslard will be representing the Luc Alphand Aventures team. And this year’s Guest of Honour will be the guiding light of GM’s all-conquering Corvette Racing team, Dough Fehan.

If you own a Corvette, or are a fan of Corvettes, the 2010 St Saturnin Classic British Welcome is the perfect way to start your Le Mans weekend!

Great news! I knew this was a possibility, but now it's confirmed hopefully it will guarantee an appropriate turnout of Vettes!

We'll be there of course in a classic car (just not a Vette )

Well done Stephen Irons

I'm sure that if you'd rather not be escorted by Pete you could consul yourself by focusing on a beer or two.
