The banked circuit at Linas-Montlhéry, France, is to be used for a 'Vintage Revival' meeting at this now-closed track in early May 2011.
It seems to be a closed meeting, open only to registered clubs, with no tickets on the day.
See vintage.revival.free.fr
Has anyone more to add?
They have a good choice of car on the poster, though. |

Where did you see the entry fee? Didn't find anything on the website that fills me in on what the event entails, both program and price wise ... Anyone?
Regards,

This event sounds great! I assume MG has some race history here?
I can't find an entry fee either. But I did find this blog about montlhery:
http://thevintagent.blogspot.com/2010/06/montlhery-2011.html
At the bottom there is some info about how to be kept informed and how to subscribe with an autoclub.

Enthusiasts, clubs and businesses wishing to be kept informed are encouraged to register their interest by e-mail to Vincent Chamon at vintage-revival@voila.fr.

Hi Mark,
That helps! Still don't fully get what you get for those 150 euro's though? Except for crash helmets, no overalls, no licences, no nothing?
If you could pass the regulations and entry forms on to me by e-mail, that would be great. Thanks!
Cheers,
Cat

Will it be possible to attend the event as a spectator only? Ihave a 28yr old Porsche 924 which hardly qualifies as an entrant but I would love to be there and see all the wonderful machinery assembled and running.
