Le Mans Classic - Plateau 6 Entry List
The last of our looks at the six plateaus of cars that compete over the full 24-Hours at the Le Mans Classic takes us from 1972 to 1981, and features some fanous cars - and drivers.
The mighty Porsche 935s will always be a favourite, but for those who like to remember Ferraris heritage at Le Mans, the four 512 BB LMs will be a sight - and sound to behold. The prototypes on show will be pace-setters, from the Lola - de Cadenet, a pair of Mirages, a Cheetah and a number of Chevrons and Lolas. Times changed greatly over the time period, so spectators can compare Steve Dance's 1972 Ford Capri with the BMW M1s from end of the decade, and even the Porsche 924 GTR frm the early '80s.
WIth a full 76 entries, even the reserves look tempting, with an Alfa Romeo 33 TT12 as first reserve, and French Le Mans winner Romain Dumas only sixth reserve in a Porche 935.
