Live at the Le Mans Classic
07/05/2018
We at "zwischengas.com" try very hard to find a good balance in our reporting. Our heart beats for everything that has at least three wheels and has been built in the last 120 years. We report on small and large events, despite having a small editorial team, we are personally on site at a number of events, and of course we don't want to miss out on the personal impression of the really big events either.
That is why we are once again live at this year's Le Mans Classic, one of the biggest historic motorsport events in the world.
Once again, 6 racing fields (the so-called plateaus) will be at the start, with a total of over 450 vehicles. In addition, there will be special heats with 44 Group C vehicles, a dedicated field with over 60 Jaguar racing cars and another field with 80 Porsche vehicles. We are looking forward to these presentations!
While you often see the Porsche 917 driving in the USA, this is rather rare in Europe, as there are often no classes for these vehicles at historic events. At this year's Le Mans Classic, however, four Porsche 917s will be at the start!
Our photographer Daniel Reinhard will be there for zwischengas.com. If you don't want to wait for the report, you can watch the live broadcast between July 6 and 8:
Anyone hearing about Le Mans Classic for the first time should immediately take a look at our article about Le Mans Classic 2016 !
