Le Mans Classic - Plateau 5 Entry List
In our trawl through the extensive entry lit for next week’s Le Mans Classic we have reached Plateau Five, which covers 1966 to 1971, and with the latter end of the period covering one of the most exciting times in sportswear racing, this will be one to watch.
Fans of the epic Le Mans battle between Michael Delaney and Erich Stahler can get a taste of what it was like for real with five Porsche 917s entered and two Ferrari 512s. The Porsches see a mix of short and long tails, and a very brave Romain Dumas out in a 1969 spec car, which we are hearing is so accurate that it has even reproduced the attention-grabbing handling of the 917 at that time.
A host of Lola T70s will add plenty of V8 thunder to the mix, while the rapid Chevron B8s and B19s should be quick, and a few later GT40s are in the field. The GTs see serial Corvettes up against De Tomaso Panteras.
If we had to pick a car to watch out for, or, in this case, listen out for? The first on the list, the turbine-powered Howmet TX.
