Now this has gotten me very excited.
A BMW V12 LMR will be running in the Enduro Legends demonstration sessions according to PA Instagram. |

Looks like the Endurance Racing Legends has changed from Demos to races.

So far, 83 cars on the 60s Endurance grid, then 8 reserves and 8 on the waiting list! Guess what, it’s LMC next year again. Amazing how it brings cars out of the woodwork....
The HTC grid (54 cars so far) includes McLaren Boss Zak Brown in a Cologne Capri and a 1985 BMW M5 ‘Superproduction’ car, which is a new one on me. EDIT- One of these... https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/l...duction/380777 59 entered for CER1, no Howmet or Gulf 917 though, and for young will, the EL and GpC entry lists....

In France over the years you had Grp 1, then slightly modified cars became Production around '80 then came Superproduction. The last years of Production could be compared to your BTCC '82, Superproduction between your BTCC and Mod Sports. Roughly… Marc Sourd was a vey inspired pro driver.

Nearly 100 cars then. WOW. Something about this event that always nakes it bigger than other ones. Always seems to attract unique cars such as the the 917 Can Am that raced last year. |

Do you have the CER1 list? I’m going to attend this for the first time as I’m conveniently in the south of France at the same time...
Thanks Quote:

That’s great news, look forward to meeting you again. The 2hr 60s race is always last on Saturday eve, so be warned, it could be getting dark during the race.... Couple of years ago they had to abandon due to torrential rain, thunder and lightning, but hopefully that was an exception to the rule! I can get that sort of weather here- don’t need to go to the South of France for it.

Any entry lists Mike?
See 3 of the 512 BBLM's will be there which is pretty good. I imagine its a horde of cobras in 60s race. |

This was the last 60s entry list- obviously from drbob now being off the reserve list it has changed..... |

99 cars total. As many as the 6 Hr race at Spa if you discount the GT40s. Shows how popular the circuit is and how popular 60s is. Shame Gent Drivers isn't like it. |

Mike is right, again, the Sixties race is caught by dark after one hour. Same for Qually I guess. The new pits entry should be in use and one fuel pump has been added, total becoming 5 if I'm correct. Enough to think about a strategy, drive with a full tank or not? That is the question!

Gang will be there with Elva before expanding their number of cars in CER next year.
What happening with the 2 litre nine eleven race series. Understand regs are being changed and FIA are changing the parameters on which HTPs given. A 901 is slower than a later 65 car? In process of buying one but getting cold feet with all these rumours. |

Bit of a long shot .
Does anyone going have space in a trailer to pick up a car in the area & bring back to the UK . There will be a few £ hundred in it . That could save me driving all of the way down & back with a trailer . Last time I went all of the way to S of France & back with the trailer in just over 1 day . [ I do push things to hard sometimes ] . |
