Very impressed. How the heck did you get those vertically overhead shots?

250 GTO in the moonlight
The Le Mans Classic is a much more relaxed affair than the June event. There was supposed to be a dress code but it wasn't enforced. You could wander about freely in all the paddocks. On friday you could even walk about the pit lane and into the garages! It was great - you really got a feel for what it's like to be part of the action.
I bought my tickets through the porsche club which allowed me acces to the grandstand. It was from one of the walkways at the back that I got the overhead shots of the Alfas. The others of the pits were taken by holding the camera over the edge of the grandstand.
I use a nikon coolpix 990 digital camera - its swivel lens is very useful for these kind of awkward shots - you can use it like a periscope.
If you get the chance go! It was a great event. Ticket prices are also quite reasonable and although there were plenty of spectators it didn't feel crowded - Le Mans is a big place. The next one's in 2 years time.
