The first entry list of the 2012 Le Mans Classic is available. Once again, the event will bring together many exceptional cars.
As with every Le Mans Classic since 2002, the largest race meeting in the world for historic endurance racing promises to be exceptional once again.
● Exceptional for the authenticity of the cars presented on the track. To be eligible, each must have competed in the Le Mans 24 Hours or, failing that, to be identical to one of the models involved. Changes in engine, brakes, or any other technology are not allowed!
● Exceptional by the number and variety of cars invited. The provisional list already shows 199 cars grouped by generation six grids: 1923-39, 1949-56, 1957-61, 1962-65, 1966-71 and 1972-79.
A new list will be published after the second selection meeting to be held on the 10th January 2012.
