Porsche in special Le Mans Classic race

70 classics will take to La Sarthe for 55-minute duel

Porsche has announced plans for a special race exclusively reserved for its own historic racing cars at Le Mans Classic from 6-8 July. 70 Weissach-bred race cars will take part to mark seven decades of the Porsche brand. The race will take place on the Saturday of the three-day event, with two qualifying sessions taking place the day before.

This means the single-make ‘Porsche race’ will feature all manner of racing cars from throughout its unrivalled history on the track, from early 1950’s 356s through 2.8RSRS to those heavily clad in success at Larthe such as the 956 and

GT1. Tickets for the ninth Le Mans classic are currently on sale from lemansclassic.com.
