Le Mans Legend

The support race this year is the first "Le Mans Legend" featuring marques that raced at La Sarthe between 1949 and 1964.

The entry list includes no less than 3 previous winning cars - the 1950 Talbot Lago; the 1953 Hamilton winning C-Type to be driven by Sir Stirling Moss and the 1959 winning Aston Martin DBR1.

The race will have a warm-up lap started by a traditional Le Mans start (the race proper under a rolling start).
