The Le Mans Legend 2013 historic race was held 22 June at Circuit de la Sarthe in France on the morning of the modern 24 Hours of Le Mans. A grid of 60 cars lined up for the 45-minute race.
\nAs the Radio Le Mans commentator put it when the chequered flag fell on the Le Mans Legend, the historic race run by Motor Racing Legends as a curtain-raiser to the Le Mans 24 Hours, \u201cThat was a real motor race \u2013 a perfect start to the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Light rain started to fall, making the track treacherously slippery as the huge grid of 1949-65 Le Mans cars assembled for the green flag lap, and spectators then raised umbrellas as the rain came down harder. Derek Hill, son of the late former Le Mans winner and F1 World Champion Phil, spun his Maserati 151 Coupe at Indianapolis, dropping from his 9th position to the back of the field. He weaved his way back to his proper place well before the rolling start and the full grid arrived at the start in perfect order.
\nFrom the front row, Ludovic Caron\u2019s Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe put its nose ahead when the red lights went out, but Alex Buncombe\u2019s pole-sitting Lister-Jaguar Costin had a narrow lead as they entered the Dunlop Chicane. Immediately behind, the action was frantic, with Gary Pearson pulling off a daring slide through the chicane to put his D-type in second place. By Tertre Rouge, Carlos Monteverde had seized second place with his yellow 250LM, the Ferrari with which he won this race a few years back.
\nHowever, the action was only just beginning. The phenomenally fast qualifying speeds \u2013 Alex Buncombe had averaged 174.7km\/h to take pole \u2013 were not possible in these conditions, but the action was still fast and furious. Hill\u2019s Maserati had second place approaching the second chicane but the D-types of Pearson and Anthony Reid were Buncombe\u2019s closest followers as they left it.
\nWhile Buncombe slithered impressively towards a lead of 10 seconds on lap one, Reid pulled off with engine worries at Arnage and Monteverde\u2019s smoking Ferrari headed slowly for the pits and retirement. Still the battle raged on unabated, with Pearson coming under pressure from Jon Minshaw\u2019s Lister Knobbly and Roger Wills\u2019s big ISO Bizzarrini, while Gareth Burnett\u2019s little two-litre Elva GT160 was doing an incredible job of mixing it with the powerful front-runners.<\/p>\n

The rain then fell even harder and something had to give. Two cars went off separately at Indianapolis, Paul Chase-Gardener\u2019s 1952 Aston Martin DB2 flying sideways into the gravel trap, digging in and rolling spectacularly. The driver was unhurt but the car was badly damaged.
\nSpectators then focused on the great battle for second place between Minshaw, Pearson, Wills and Lynn, which was resolved in that order after much drama and overtaking. \u201cThere was probably more overtaking in this 45-minute, 9-lap race than we have seen in F1 in the past 10 years,\u201d said one spectator after the race.
\nAmong the class winners, Patrick Watts managed to bring his Allard J2 home in an impressive 14th overall, while Gary Pearson\u2019s 3rd overall was also a remarkable performance for another of the older cars in the race. However, Alex Buncombe\u2019s mastery of the adverse conditions to win outright by 43 seconds was the outstanding feature of the 2013 Le Mans Legend.<\/p>\n

A sad moment came with the failure of the engine of Georges Gachnang\u2019s Cooper Monaco in qualifying. Georges, a Swiss Toyota and VW dealer, is now 82 years old. He competed in the 1960 Le Mans 24 Hours in an AC and was looking forward to his return to the great French circuit. His weekend was not entirely wasted, however, because two of his grandchildren were in the modern 24 Hours \u2013 Natacha Gachnang in a Morgan-Judd LMP2 car and none other than Sebastien Buemi in a works Toyota LMP1.<\/p>\n
