[LM24] 2015 Le Mans Legends

[Mal]

There will be a large variety of cars on track in the legends race next year as they have extended the date range of eligible cars to include all cars from 1949 - 1968

Still waiting for a Legends race with cars from 1969-1981. We see them at the Classic, why not as support to the main event?

Meh, that's just 3 additional years from the usual biannual 49-65 that's been going on for ages. I mean it does mean you finally get the GT40's (that were denied from participating before for some reason) and stuff, but after seeing the smiley next to the thread title I was hoping for more. Not even 908/02 longtail

I personally miss the pre-War cars, for the smell if nothing else.

Its a shame they don't do a mini LM classic - with pre-war cars followed by 2 sets of post war ones - 3 races of 30 minutes

Will be very happy to see the late 60s cars, but agree that it would be great to see the 'forgotten' 1970s era. Haven't made it to the Classic yet, but would love to see some of the Porsche prototypes and silhouette cars from that period on track. Hopefully they will actually race as well, a lot of the Group C cars have been not exactly pushing in recent support races.

That's a great idea.

AllonFS, half an hour of watching madmen drift Cobras and C-Types from the outside of Tertre Rouge is worth the price of admission alone. Get down there if you can.

Mike E, not seen them from Tetre Rouge, but did watch them from Arnage one year. Fantastic! On the first lap, you could hear them around the whole circuit and work out where they were. The noise rose and then suddenly round Indianapolis came Johnny Herbert sideways in a D Type. This group of cars seem to be driven with a lot more verve than the Group Cs. Excited to see the late 60s cars added, just a bit concerned they might be cruising not racing.

If the Classic is anything to go by, then it will be a mix of pros at the front really pushing it and others taking it a bit easier with their precious toys. Can't say I blame them!
