Le Mans Classic: Epic Group C Field for Saturday Race
Peter Auto have assmebled a superb Group C field for their 45-minute race on Saturday (July 7th) at the Le Mans Classic, with amlost 50-cars entered. A wide age range of the sportscras are entered, from a 1982 Rondeau to pairs of Peugeot 905s from 1993, and some classic battles can be resumed as Jaguars take on Porsches and in C2 Spice and Ecosse once more lock horns.
Just one Porsche 956 is entered, but no less that 12 962s are due to race, and they face five Jaguars. The Big Cats range from the XJR-8 of Richard Meins right up to a potent XJR-14 from 1991, and include an XJR-9, the variant that took the outright win in 1988.
The Peugeots should be pacesetters, and reliability permitting th overall winner should come from the latter cars, so the XJR-14 should be in the mix and also the well-developed Gebhardt C291 of Michael Lyons. The potent late 90s Nissans go well at Le Mans if drivers are permitted to wind up the boost, and the sight of Nick Padmore out in a NPTi 90 could be oen to watch out for!
