THE END !!!!
 
AWESOME!

Great photos Francis and it looked like an amazing time!

:cheers
 
Super cool! Thanks for sharing.
 
Looks like a very good time was had by all.
Excellent photos.
Thanks for the posts.
 
I love the old transporter with the GT40 on the bed. All the photos are great. Are all the '05-06 GTs from Europe & the UK? I wish I could've been there.

Thank you for posting all these pictures of your memorable time enjoying the Le Mans Classic. Well documented. It looks like everyone had a very good time.
 
Great photos! I liked the transporter too.
 
Very impressive Francis. Thank you for posting. I'm envious despite being there the month before.
 
Such a nice time for all that could attend.

Francis, you did a wonderful coordination to insure the gathering was successful. Congratulations to you Sir.

That Classic is so special. I love old race cars, and to see 100's of them on track and on display stands, plus the 1,000's in the car parks and various corals is overwhelming. For those who haven't had the opportunity to attend…move this to the top of your bucket list. You will not be disappointed.
 
Nice work !! Great Pictures !! Thanks for sharing !!
 
A very big thank you to all those who write here, that I have done a good work for the Ford GT Community.
Thank you Brombear, Ed Sims, Cobar, DBK, BAT, Spirit, Gt Jack, TwobjSbelbys, FJPIKUL, Pl50*Jeff, Stormcat, and others….
I am extremely sensitive to their compliments.

Very few people realize that organizing something like that, absolutely alone, needs to spend a lot of time, a lot of energy and incidentally some money.
The pleasure of must of the participants is the best reward.
Unfortunately, the recognition, especially by the French, is not always at the end of the road.

I express a special thank you to DBK, who better than everyone, knows that none of this is easy, in such an organization.

Pending the pleasure to see you too, in the futur.
Best regards to every one.

Francis (Saint Ho).
 
We can only add our thanks to Francis for organizing such a WONDERFUL event! It was spectacular, and everything was perfect. We hope to go again to the Classic, but it can never top this time!
 
Great photo reportage Francis - all your efforts were greatly appreciated by the UK contingent.

We're already working on plans for 2018....
