After a four-year COVID-19 enforced layoff, a record number of spectators, cars and drivers gathered at the Circuit de la Sarthe last weekend to celebrate the 10th edition of what has become arguably Europe’s most popular historic motorsport event, the Le Mans Classic.
Organised since 2002 by Peter Auto and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, cars are split into six plateaux (grids) covering 1923-81, each racing consecutively for an hour, and three times over the hallowed 24 hours. Add four mind-boggling support races and in total 1000 drivers shared more than 700 priceless machines over the four days.
