Le Mans Classic 2023 - First entry lists revealed!

As a reminder, as the aim is to offer spectators and entrants equally-matched fields in terms of performance and historic pertinence, the 500, or so, racing cars are divided up into six grids, each of which corresponds to a particular period. The cars selected are those that have taken part in the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1923 and 1981.

Priority is given to cars that have actually raced in the event in their particular era. For each grid 10 reserve cars take part in the day and night-time practice sessions to be ready to fill a place left by the withdrawal or retirement of another car. A Le Mans-type start as used between 1925 and 1969 will be given for grids 1-2-3-4. Flying starts will be used for the others.

These lists are only provisional and will be completed as time goes by.
