Does anybody know more details about this?
What Corvette models will be there?

I would love to see an L88 in action once...

Search for St. Saturnin or "the great british welcome" on this forum (or both on google). This year, the theme is Corvettes - it's a nice way to spend an afternoon.

From the organizer I only got this info so far:

I do not have the final list of Cars which will be on the track, but it will be lead by Mr. Miller's '60 Cunningham and followed by a mix of street and vintage racing Corvette

Hi All
Not 100% sure about the Corvettes at the track. But the 1960 Cunningham car is doing a few laps, with John Fitch, one of the original drivers. That’s at about 11:00 an Saturday I think. Followed by a selection of Vettes from GM (maybe0 and owners.
At St Saturnin the 1960 car will be on display along with a host of other Corvettes, both inside and outside. An “Arrival Convoy is planned… Auchan just down the raod at 9:30 for a 10:00 departure. And later a Cavalcade to the city centre, with up to 40 Corvettes….
Doug Fehan is guesting at St Sat, along with the Cunningham car owner and its restorer, plus John Fitch we hope. And, local hero Luc Alphand has said he’ll be there.
All on Friday the 11th, at St Saturnin, just north of Le Mans. From 9:00am. Food, drink, music, cinema, art and other “stuff” for sale, car wash etc…. and all FREE!
