Le Mans Legends
Have you seen the enrty for the Le Mans Legends Race on Saturday Morning, by the looks of things it should be a cracker Striling Moss driving a C Type Jag. I will not be at Le Mans this year but I belive the race is Live on Eurosport I for one will be watching.

Who else is there?
Shame Mossy's not in a 300SLR so they can finally notch up the Le Mans win they so richly deserved... |

I don't think Daimler-Benz AG would dare risk a 300SLR in circuit competition these days, I am afraid. And perhaps the 300SLR's Le Mans record is just a little too dark for the nostalgia movement to contemplate for the moment.
At Goodwood in '99 they got David Coulthard out to do two demonstration laps of the circuit in a W196. He went trickling around at two-tenths, and came in scared stiff. The Mercedes publicity blurb declared that Mercedes and Coulthard were there, entering into the spirit of the Goodwood revival. In the meantime, Stirling took on a 250F in the driving rain and thrashed it within an inch of its life in one of the best drives I ever saw - in competition mode. Same day, same circuit, different planet. Le Mans Legends is definitely something I'm looking forward to though. A highlight of the week at La Sarthe for sure. |

The entry list is on 'Club Arnarge' site. (Hope Crig does not mind the plug but they do only cover LM.) Go to 2001 Entry, then Legends.
