Next year&#8217;s support race will feature a grid of more than 60 Le Mans cars from the 1949 to 1965 era.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, Motor Racing Legends \u2013 the organisation behind the Le Mans Legend \u2013 selects an era of Le Mans history and invites genuine race cars and their sister cars from that period to take part in a nostalgic, but highly competitive historic race on the full 8.5-mile Le Mans circuit. Not only is this a chance to see real Le Mans-style cars from the past in full, on-track action at the venue where they were born to race, but it takes place just a few hours before the start of the modern 24 Hours, on the Saturday morning of the Le Mans weekend.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, the historic action will be a two-driver race on Saturday 22nd June, with cars from 1949 to 1965 again doing battle at Le Mans: think AC Cobra and Aston Martin DBR1, Lister Knobbly and Ferrari 250LM, Jaguar D-type and Iso Bizzarrini. But it\u2019s not just the big bruisers at the front of the grid that demand attention. Right through the field, expect cars of all sizes and shapes that capture the essence of Le Mans in the 1950s and early &#8217;60s, including Alfa Romeo TZ1; Porsche 904\/6; Triumph TR2; Aston Martin DB2; Jaguar XK120; Lotus; MG; Austin-Healey; Frazer Nash; among others.<\/p>\n<p>The Le Mans 24 Hours is, without doubt, the greatest endurance event in the history of motorsport \u2013 but while it&#8217;s the modern might of Audi and its rivals that makes headlines around the world, the Le Mans Legend historic support race also captures the hearts of the 200,000-plus visitors who make the pilgrimage to La Sarthe for that weekend in mid-June. Not to mention the vast audience across Europe who watched last year\u2019s televised Le Mans Legend.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a title=\"Motor Racing Legends\" href=\"http:\/\/www.motorracinglegends.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.motorracinglegends.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Motor Racing Legends; photo: Tim Scott]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2013 running of the Le Mans Legend will be held Saturday 22nd June at the famed Circuit de la Sarthe in France.
