Legendary Le Mans

After 12 years in Formula 1, where the FIA takes care about every little hump, this is a race track for real men. It’s more a fight than a pleasure, but I love the challenge of Le Mans!

- Alex Wurz, 2009 Le Mans 24 hours winner

Racing's important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting

- Steve McQueen, Le Mans 1971

Enduro Season finale 

Drivers and teams of the GMWC Enduro series arrived in La Sarthe region of France today for the completion of the first ever Enduro championship

Competitors will take on the circuit La Sarthe in its 1979 configuration with the classic Mulsanne straight uninterrupted by chicanes. With high speeds, technical sweepers and the challenge of running on public roads await the drivers and teams as the plan their round the clock race to the season end.

Whilst drivers are yet to declare the class of car they will drive, Championships are at stake. In class A, Matt Lewis has the advantage but in missing Bahrain cannot relax and must shoot for the win to be assured of the title. Class B has been one of the most competitive groups with AJ Weber and Dennis Loyer leading the charge. Tom Castellani has performed well in this class but has yet to bring the car home and will be eager to score well at one of his favourite tracks.

Finally class C has been one of the most un-predictable. Chris Jones, Alex Dorsett and Moe Faster have a win each but it’s the consistency of the Moe that gives him the edge to the Class C title.

All is to play for but Le Mans is unique, from the setting sun over the Dunlop Bridge, Glowing brakes in the night at Mulsanne and at dawn driving through forest and lingering smell of breakfast from the Arnage corner campsites.  Le Mans is a classic and this race looks to be no exception.
