It Is fun! I've been several times.
The site you've highlighted is run by Brian Thorley and he's a really nice guy. We've been with him to that event in the past. Some friends and I met up with him at a restaurant and my cars pictured on the link you've given where is says 2013 album 3. It's at the bottom in the restaurant car park, so it's odd you've given that as a link. I've another picture of me near the bottom of his main page all parked up at the side of the road, but a different car on that one. It's a picture my wife took of the whole group whilst we were waiting for Brian. He'd been leading the convoy and was just in front of me. We went through a small Village and the police were speed trapping.... Hence the wait! Needless to say Brian gets ribbed about that a lot!
The great thing about Angouleme is that the whole town embraces the racing. The Sunday is race day and many individuals and clubs cars are parked on display all over the town. It's a classic car mecca. So many lovely and rare cars. But also ordinary enthusiasts cars of all sorts of Marques go there. The French love cars. From 8am in the morning the place is buzzing. We usually arrive at 7.30am, park up and watch the cars roll in whilst having breakfast.
On the Saturday you can get to go around the track in your car if you know what you're about. No one seems to mind as long as you've a nice car!
For a train ride of Euro 25 it's a must! Just wondering around the pits is a good day if you do nothing else.
