Title: Le Mans 2006 Support Race(s)
Post by: rcutler on March 20, 2006, 08:07:05 pm
Not sure if this has already been posted but:-

I read this in Classic Sportscar this month,

In Celebration of the 100 years of the ACO this years Le Mans 24 hours will host two historic support races.
There will be two 40 minute ACO Centenary Races on the 17th of June, the first running pre-war Le Mans cars, the second post WWII racers upto 1954.
Both will be organised by Duncan Wiltshire's Motor Racing Legends group. (www.motorracinglegends.com (http://www.motorracinglegends.com))

Today we got the confirmation that we wanted, were in! ;D

We are well prepared for LM, the car is runing well and had a good run last weekend at Donnington. Next time out is on May 21 at Cadwell then its the big event.

Mr Toad is going to set up a web page on BM soon with info throughout the season.

May be we should put a picture and a description of the car in our Club Arnage Le Mans For Dummies Guide - and may be a CA-Sticker on the car - So there will be many people shouting for that car ;D ;D ;D

Brushy, what do you think of it?

Cheers

Werner

Is it not too late to have a sort of on-line whip-round for sponsorship/publicity and get CA listed in the official programme as a backer?

I think this is the first ever entry to race with "Beermountain Racing" team backing...full background and details soon to arrive on another well known LM website which some CA members also occasionally frequent! This is a big result for Mr B and his team given some of the machinery he is up against - I'm sure they will appreciate all our support! Good for you Mr B! Roll on June.. ;D

Thanks for your support, l'll post a link to BM when the page is up and running.

Due to the re development of the circuit we are restricted on vehicle access but hopefully that will not include the quad which will also provide the platform for Mr T's chopper filming activities ;)

Roll on June...............and of course Cadwell on May 21 ;D
