Evolution of early Le Mans classes...?

Got no response on the GT/LeMans board - thought I'd try here....


Hello,

Been looking at different classes over the years which of course creates some inevitable confusion :-) on my part.

From 1961 to 1962 they went from

Class S and GT ('61) to
Class EXP and GT ('62).

Was EXP completely new or was there any connection to the previous S class? Or did the cars that used to be in the previous S class get more or less morphed into GT?

It appeears that EXP continued on in following years as P ('63+) and SP ('68+).

----

Also Class S did reappear in 1966. But this Class S seems to occupy more 'exotic' and 'super cars' or very low production race cars vs the more mass produced sports cars of the old '61 Class S. True?


Thanks,
-T

Could anybody suggest 'where' I might find such information? Other websites? Book? ...?

Thanks!
