Legends of Motorsports added another event to its historic automobile race weekend at Barber Motorsports Park on May 20-23, 2010. The special race will solely include Lotus racing cars, featuring a variety of the marque\u2019s most popular models.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cFew brands of race cars have more racing mystique than Lotus,\u201d observed Legends of Motorsports co-founder and partner Bobby Rahal. \u201cFor anyone who loves these great cars, and there are many, it will be very exciting to see a sea of Lotus racers battling it out on the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park circuit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum at the Barber Motorsports Park includes more than 1000 vintage and modern motorcycles and a substantial collection of 43 vintage Lotus cars, the largest collection in North America. Consequently, the Lotus-exclusive race will be open to a raft of years and models of the famed British sports cars including Lotus 7, Lotus Super 7, Lotus 9, Louts 11, Lotus 15, Lotus 17, Lotus 19, Lotus 23, Lotus 26, Lotus 47 and Lotus 62.<\/p>\n

Rahal, a revered international racing champion and 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner, is one of three Legends of Motorsports primary partners through the brand\u2019s Historic Motorsports Productions (HMP) parent company. He is joined in the venture by Just Marketing International (JMI) founder and CEO, Zak Brown and noted business executive Peter Stoneberg, who serves as CEO for HMP. All three men are active participants in historic racing in their own right.<\/p>\n

Legends of Motorsports events typically include a variety of the most popular historic racing classes and cars. These include GTP\/Group C; 3.0 Liter era Formula One; F.I.A. Championship of Makes; 2.0 Liter Sports Racers; Trans-Am; Can-Am; IMSA GT\/Production Cars; and Formula Libre. In addition, at certain events individual automobile manufacturers and classes will be celebrated through special programming. Beyond vintage racing, HMP event weekends feature a variety of entertainment diversions such as fashion shows, race car parades, car shows and rallies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owners of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, founder George Barber and the museum staff are truly great stewards of racing history,\u201d said Rahal. \u201cThey appreciate the legacy of legendary racing marques and certainly Lotus is high on that list. Their stellar facility will be a perfect venue for guests to appreciate the best of this historic racing brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets for the Legends of Motorsports at Barber Motorsports Park are on sale to the public beginning January 15, 2010.<\/p>\n
