The Le Mans 24-Hours race writes history and tells the story! In 2018 Le Mans Classic will be staged for the ninth time as it is held on a biennial basis. The event created by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and Peter Auto almost 20 years ago has become a red-letter date in the world of the motor . Rendezvous after rendezvous this fantastic retrospective has conquered the public, the entrants, the makes clubs, guardians of our marvellous automotive heritage, as well as exhibitors who flock to the circuit in increasingly large numbers. In 2016 there were 123 000 spectators, 600 on the track and 8500 cars brought along by the clubs. So what more is needed to confirm the growing success of this meeting the second biggest motoring event in in terms of spectator attendance?

In 70 years of the history of the greatest endurance event, the 2018 Le Mans Classic will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Alpine’s victory in the 24 Hours, the 25th of the historic triple of the 905, some of which will add excitement to the Group C race that has been the curtain-raiser since the last meeting. And 70 years ago Porsche really came of age with the launch of its first series production car, the famous 356. There will also be numerous celebrations of other iconic makes and models starting with the 50th anniversary of , the 365 Daytona, the BMW 2002…

Le Mans Classic extends the past, which is not forgotten but has to be cultivated: a past that belongs to us which must be lived. “For mankind the past bears a striking resemblance to the future. By telling him what was, isn’t it always telling him what will be?” said the great French thinker Honoré de Balzac who influenced the writers of his day and the following centuries. IN SHORT

To be a racing driver is definitely for most boys - and some girls - a childhood dream. But many are called and few chosen! Historic motor racing gives them the opportunity to fulfil their dream. Furthermore, Le Mans Classic offers the ultimate experience: to compete on the long layout, facing the world’s most famous straight… the Straight.

As the aim is to offer spectators and entrants equally-matched fields in terms of performance and historic pertinence, the 500 racing cars are divided up into six grids, each of which corresponds to a particular period. The cars selected are those that have taken part in the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1923 and 1981. Priority is given to cars that have actually raced in the event in their particular era. For each grid 10 reserves take part in the day and night-time practice sessions to be ready to fill a place left vacant by the withdrawal or retirement of another car. A Le Mans-type start as used between 1925 and 1969 will be given for grids 1-2-3-4. Flying starts will be used for the others.

GRID 1 (1923-1939) Models representing famous makes which shone on the Le Mans circuit in the pre-war era are back on the scene of their exploits. These include Speed Models, 4,5L Blower Bentleys, BMW 328s, Type 35s, 3 Sports, 135 Ss, LG45s, Mercedes-Benz SSKs, Morgan 4/4s, 105s, etc. This grid presents a wide variety of makes and models transforming it into an unprecedented retrospective of this period.

GRID 2 (1949-1956) The post-war period marked a turning point in car technology with better developed and more attention paid to aerodynamics. The result was faster cars entered by increasingly professional works teams. Henceforth, the on-track battles between entrants were much closer. It’s this epoch that the drivers in this grid at the of Aston Martin DBs, Austin Healey 100 Ms, Jaguar D-Types, Aurelias, Lotus XIs, 250 Ss, Porsche 550s, Triumph TR2s, etc. GRID 3 (1957-1961) AC Ace Bristosl, Aston Martin DB4 GTs, Austin Healey 3000s, Corvette C1s, GT , Lotus XVs, Maserati T61 Birdcages, Porsche 356s, etc. Among cars to watch out for the spectators is the unique Lister Knobbly and the famous Ferrari 250 GT Breadvan.

GRID 4 (1962-1965) This grid illustrates the increase in the number of America-built cars entered for the event as it includes several GT40s, Shelby Cobra 289s Shelby GT 350s and Chevrolet Corvettes. Back in that era the main opposition to the American cars came from European machines and it is again the case. Leading the charge is Ferrari with a 250 LM and several 275 GTBs. There are also E-Type Jaguars including 49 FXN, the low-drag special built as part of the run of 12 lightweight cars produced in 1963. Porsche will be represented by several 904s. Two Alpines will also be present with one M63 (the first car developed by the Dieppe firm for racing) and one M64.

GRID 5 (1966-1971) This grid reunites the legendary Ferrari 512s and Porsche 917s in a remake of the film Le Mans with Steve McQueen! It also includes Chevron B19s, Ford GT40 MkIIs, Lola T70s and the fabulous turbine- powered Howmet TX. Alpine will be represented by two A210s, which won their category at Le Mans from 1966 to 1969. GRID 6 (1972-1981) This grid is a mix of major makes (BMW, Ferrari, Porsche) and small constructors (Duckam's, Moynet, Tecma). It comprises a number of models that marked their epoch, including the 1976 Inaltera, the first prototype designed by , which is also on the entry list with and Julien Beltoise (whose father was one of the team’s works drivers at the time) at the wheel. Other cars that will attract a lot of attention are the Gulf Gr7 and a Ford Gran Torino from the very popular NASCAR Championship.

10 FORMER WINNERS AT THE START

Among the thousand drivers from more than 30 nationalities who will be behind the wheel during the ninth staging of Le Mans Classic on 6-7-8 July on the big Le Mans circuit are ten former winners of the Le Mans 24 Hours: Jürgen Barth (D), (F), Loïc Duval (F), (NL), Gérard (F), (D), (D), Stéphane Ortelli (F), Henri Pescarolo (F) and Marko Werner (D). In all they have racked up a total of 19 victories and 147 participations in the greatest endurance race in the world between 1967 and 2018. The outstanding figure among them is Henri Pescarolo who holds the record for the most starts with 33 crowned by four victories.

Former F1 drivers will take part in the event: René Arnoux (1965 Shelby Cobra 289 in Grid 4 and 1979 BMW M1 Procar in Grid 6), (1966 Mk III in Grid 5), and (1981 in Grid 6). Several great names in motor sport will also compete: Jean Ragnotti, (1999 GT-One in Global Endurance Legends), Alain Serpaggi (1978 Alpine A443 in Grid 6), Guy Fréquelin (1964 René Bonnet Djet in Grid 4) and Willi ( in Grid 5).

The majority of these drivers will take part in a public conference on Friday at 14:00 in the village. It will also be attended by Pierre Fillon (President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest) and Patrick Peter (founder of Peter Auto). This will give fans the opportunity to put their questions to the drivers via the Le Mans Classic Facebook page: https://fr-fr.facebook.com/LeMansClassic/. The host of this conference broadcast live on the same page will ask the drivers the questions chosen. When it’s over an autograph session with the drivers present will be held in front of the E-Bay boutique.

23 juin 2018 GROUP C RACING KICKS OFF THE EVENT!

Following the success of this series in 2016, the Group C Racing cars will be on the track for two qualifying sessions (Friday) and a 45-minute race on Saturday as a curtain-raiser to the 9th event.

The Group C regulations led to the production of fabulous cars which wrote some of the most glorious pages in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours and the World Endurance Championship. Early on, the Porsche 956s dominated despite stiff opposition from the Lancia LC2s, and then in 962 configuration came up against much tougher rivals with the arrival of Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and . Alongside the major manufacturers small constructors like Cougar, , Rondeau, Spice and WM could still pull off the odd coup thanks to an intelligent interpretation of the regulations based essentially on fuel consumption. Group C was abandoned in the early 90s after a brief cohabitation with the Sport 3.5s (, Jaguar XJR-14, Toyota TS010, etc.), but that era is still considered as the Golden Age of endurance racing by the majority of the specialists of this branch of motor sport.

The Group C cars are modern looking with their rounded windscreens and their doors in elytron, and they exert an incredible fascination on all generations of fans with performances that are not too far off those of the current crop of LMP prototypes as their top was way north of 300 km/h! On Friday 8th and Saturday 9th July, a grid comprising the most beautiful Group Cs will be back on their favourite playing field in front of their dyed-in-the-wool aficionados, who are only too delighted to be able to see these endurance icons back in action on the track.

2018 innovation: The Group C Racing paddock will be located at the Garage Vert corner on the Bugatti circuit. It will be open to paddock pass holders. #❷ #❼ 2 MARIS FRA PEUGEOT / 905 EV1 Bis / 1993 C3a 3 LYNN GBR JAGUAR / XJR-9 / 1987 C1a 4 GUENAT CHE PEUGEOT / 905 EV1 Bis / 1993 C3a 6 MEINS GBR JAGUAR / XJR-8 / 1987 C1a 7 MONTEIRO/MONTEIRO PRT/FRA PORSCHE / 962C / 1990 C1a 10 CAMPAGNE/KALFF NLD/NLD SPICE / SE92 GTP / 1992 C3a 11 D'IETEREN BEL PORSCHE / 962C / 1990 C1a 12 KEMPNICH AUS PORSCHE / 956C / 1985 C1b 14 DREELAN/SCOTT IRL/GBR PORSCHE / 962 / 1987 C1a 15 HAUPT DEU PORSCHE / 962 / 1989 C1a 19 PERRIER FRA MARCH / 85G / 1985 C1b 20 GARROD GBR LOLA / T92/10 / 1992 C3a 21 VERCOUTERE/KELLENERS FRA/DEU PORSCHE / 962C / 1990 C1a 23 KUBOTA JPN NISSAN / R90 CK / 1990 C1a 24 MR JOHN OF B/AYARI FRA/FRA RONDEAU / M382 / 1982 C1b 25 LYONS GBR GEBHARDT / C291 / 1991 C3a 27 FRANCE/FRANCE FRA/FRA NISSAN / R90 CK / 1990 C1a 30 LEWIS/PADMORE GBR/GBR NISSAN / NPTi 90 / 1990 C1a 31 LENDOUDIS GRE MERCEDES BENZ / C11 / 1989 C1a 33 LINDBERG DNK PORSCHE / 962C / 1989 C1a 35 LOPEZ/RADERMECKER ESP/BEL JAGUAR / XJR-14 / 1991 C3a 36 KUNIE/ITO JPN/JPN TOYOTA / 85C / 1985 C1b 40 BATEMAN GBR SPICE / SE90C / 1990 C1a 50 HIGGINS/HIGGINS NZL/NZL PORSCHE / 962C / 1989 C1a 51 HÜBNER/WERNER DEU/DEU PORSCHE / 962C / 1990 C1a 55 HUFF GBR SPICE / SE89P / 1989 C3b 58 MERLIN FRA SPICE / SE90C / 1990 C1a 61 VON BRAUNMÜHL DEU PORSCHE / 962 / 1989 C1a 66 TITFORD/REEVES GBR/GBR EMKA / C84/1 Aston Martin / 1985 C1b 71 KJALLGREN SWE COURAGE / C26 S / 1990 C1a 78 BOCH/PERCEVAULT FRA/FRA ECOSSE / C285 / 1985 C3b 82 LECOURT/NARAC FRA/FRA PORSCHE / 962C / 1990 C1a 84 ROSINA ITA ALBA / AR8 / 1986 C3b 85 SINCLAIR GBR SPICE / SE90C / 1990 C1a 86 WARD GBR JAGUAR / XJR-11 / 1990 C1a 88 VERCOUTERE/MUELLER FRA/CHE JAGUAR / XJR-11 / 1989 C1a 98 DE DONCKER BEL SPICE / SE90C / 1990 C1a 99 STRIJDER NLD PORSCHE / 962C / 1991 C1a 104 SCEMAMA CHE SPICE / SE89C / 1989 C2a 106 FORT FRA TIGA / GC 288/289 / 1988 C2a 107 COLANCON FRA TIGA / GC289 / 1989 C2a 110 OVERINGTON GBR PORSCHE / 962 / 1988 C3b 111 DOZIN BEL SPICE / SE88C / 1988 C2a 129 GALANT FRA TIGA / GC288 / 1988 C2a 145 CREFCOEUR BEL SPICE / SE89C / 1989 C2a 162 GUERRA ITA GKW / 862-C2 / 1988 C3b 177 LYONS IRL ALD / C289 / 1989 C2a 185 GADAIS/BELLETESTE FRA/FRA STHEMO / SM / 1984 C2b

 CLUBS

The many makes and multi-make clubs are key players and also guardians of the heritage of the motor car so they enjoy a choice welcome at Le Mans Classic.

Le Mans Classic is the opportunity for the car clubs to join the biggest European, perhaps even global, club gathering. In 2016, the Club Enclosure counted 120 car make clubs, together with 80 multi-make clubs as well as the private owners hosted in the Collectors' Enclosure. Thus over 8,500 cars told the automobile history until 1966, except a Happy Few that were built before this date.

And from Abarth to Volvo (in alphabetical order), every car manufacturer has an anniversary to celebrate... Some have a victory, preferably at the 24 Hours; some others the birth of a model which has enriched the make's history.

Track discovery laps, contests, picnics, and more entertainment are part of the program for these cars. The pinnacle is to be among the 24 handpicked automobiles displayed inside the Le Mans Heritage Club, which key is to present the proper car which raced in the 24 Hours from 1923 to these days. GLOBAL ENDURANCE LEGENDS NEW IN 2018

Two 30 minutes demo sessions scheduled on Friday evening and Saturday morning will be dedicated to GTs and Prototypes from the 1990s to 2010 gathered by the Global Endurance Legends club. The opportunity to see once again exceptional cars in action on the track: McLaren F1 GTRs, Ferrari F40s, S7s, Viper GTS-Rs, 600 LMs, R8s, Peugeot 908s, etc. LE MANS CLASSIC 2018 Démonstrations - Global Endurance Legends 78 voitures/cars

Located in the heart of the village, the Le Mans Heritage Club is Le Mans Classic sanctuary. The one into which can only enter 24 cars having participated in the Le Mans 24 Hours …

Only one key opens the door to this very private club; the presentation a car that has raced in the Le Mans 24 Hours at some time between 1923 and the present. They are displayed by class inside their private enclosure surrounded by white fencing in a refined ambiance. The Le Mans Heritage Club is one of the village highlights. An international jury made up of personalities from various fields has the challenging task to determine which one among the most glorious Le Mans racers is the most beautiful, the most interesting…

PORSCHE AND FFVE EXHIBITION

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the make’s sports cars, some of the most beautiful racers made by Porsche will be on display in an exhibition.

For the 40th anniversary of Alpine’s outright victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours, the “Fedération Française des Véhicles d’Epoque” is putting on a Retrospective of the most beautiful cars made in the Dieppe workshops since 1955.

LITTLE BIG MANS

Value has nothing to do with you age, passion neither. For one hundred or so kids, from 7 to 12 years old, the dream has come true.

With a "Le Mans style" start just in front of the grandstands, the budding drivers from all over the world leap into their racing cars encouraged by a standing ovation from the public! These hundred or so mini replicas of the racing cars entered in the Little Big Mans are displayed in their own paddock specially dedicated to the kids, activities included.

The cars, produced in limited numbers or as one-offs, are powered by an internal combustion or electric and, for the most part, are faithful replicas of cars that have raced in the Le Mans 24 Hours. Among them are several /P2s, Ford GT 40s, Chevrolet Corvettes, BMW 328s, Type 35 , Porsche 550s, D-Type Jaguars, etc.

On Saturday 7th July in the early afternoon, the young drivers will set off for a lap of the Bugatti circuit after a Le Mans-type start. On Sunday, they will get back behind the wheel to do a tour of the Le Mans Classic village. This event, which is great fun for young and old alike, will end with a prize giving ceremony in the village.

THE VILLAGE

For those who wish to escape from the invasion of historic cars that transforms the circuit into the Le Mans Classic weekend, taking refuge in the village is the only solution.

It is definitely the right place to pause for breath before continuing to stroll around and enjoy the eye- popping show put on by Le Mans Classic including the manufacturers’ displays and the different boutiques. The Welcome in the centre of the village is the headquarters for those who have chosen to live Le Mans Classic in VIP style. And something new is always happening like parades, prize givings, etc.

ENTERTAINMENT

Le Mans Classic has refined its selection of entertainment and has again installed a Drive-In cinema in which several major classic films with the motor car as the main star will be shown. Many other forms of entertainment will be on hand like the Demon Drome, sixties-style dancers, itinerant orchestras, retro hairdressing salons, bowling pitches, a show by the Police & Patrimoine, Republican Garde brigades on their period motorbikes, tours in old buses and the exhibition devoted to the Nationale 7.

THE DRIVE-IN

Who has never dreamed of going to a Drive-in, the famous open-air cinema? The fashion from the combined the two major national industries: the motor car and the cinema. Le Mans Classic, the huge festival of the motor car in all its forms, revives this ambience!

Le Mans Classic 2018 du 6 au 8 juillet

Porsche célèbrera ses 70 ans de sportives au Mans Classic 2018

Le Mans. « Au début, je regardais autour de moi sans parvenir à trouver la voiture de mes rêves : une voiture de sport petite, légère, utilisant efficacement son énergie. J’ai donc décidé de la construire moi-même. »

Lorsque a débuté la conception de la première voiture portant le nom de Porsche en 1947, il avait d’ores et déjà une vision novatrice et précise de la philosophie qu’il souhaitait insuffler à la marque.

Homologuée le 8 juin 1948 à Klagenfurt en Autriche, ce véhicule reçut le nom de 356 No.1 Roadster.

Cette philosophie, chère à la marque, façonne désormais l’entreprise depuis plus de 70 ans.

Entre 1948 et 1950, Porsche a produit 44 coupés et 8 cabriolets type 356/2 à Gmünd, en Autriche. Grace

à leur carrosserie en aluminium, à leur excellente efficacité aérodynamique et à leur grande rigidité à la torsion, les coupés en alliage léger s’avéraient parfaits pour la compétition. Les coupés 356/2 pesaient environ 120 kg de moins que les 356 construites par Reutter’s à à partir d’avril 1950. Ils sont les premières voitures de sport allemandes à afficher les initiales "SL", abréviation de "Super Light" tirée de l'italien "Super Leggera". C’est ainsi que Porsche débute aux 24 Heures du Mans pour la première fois en 1951. La 356 SL gagne rapidement la catégorie des 1100 cc et répète l’exploit en 1952.

Les 24 Heures du Mans écrivent l’histoire, le Mans Classic la raconte. Porsche et Le Mans, c’est une histoire qui dure depuis près de 70 ans. C’est donc naturellement que Porsche France a choisi ce haut lieu de compétition automobile pour ériger en 2015 son Porsche Experience Center (PEC) et Le Mans Classic sera le point d’orgue en France de la célébration des 70 ans de sportives de la marque.

Carrera 2.8 RSR de 1973, 911 2.5 S, ou encore 911 GT1 de 1998. De quoi retracer chaque décennie de l’histoire sportive de Porsche.

Ces modèles, exposés au PEC, seront ensuite au cœur de la Parade des 70 ans de sportives prévue le samedi 7 juillet dès 14h00. Stéphane Ortelli, invité de cette édition du Mans Classic, reprendra pour l’occasion le volant de la 911 GT1 avec laquelle il a remporté les 24 Heures du Mans en 1998, il y a tout juste 20 ans.

Pour cet anniversaire historique, deux invités de marque nous feront l’honneur de leur présence : Felix

Porsche, petit-fils de Ferry Porsche, fondateur de la marque, et Felix Lange, cousin de Felix Porsche et petit-fils de Ferdinand Piëch.

A pair of highly original Mercedes 300 SL motor cars, owned for over fifty years by a Swedish collector, and practically unused during that time, will star in Artcurial Motorcars’ next sale at Le Mans Classic on 7 July.

The 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster (estimate 1,5 – 2M€ / 1,8 – 2,4 M$) and the 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing (estimate 1 – 1.5M€ / 1,2 – 1,8 M$) had been in storage for decades when Gunnar Giermark died in 2011. He bought the Roadster new in July 1963, and drove it very little. Remarkably, the mileage stands at just over 1,380 km today!

The cars are being sold by the Swedish Inheritance Fund, a Government-regulated non-profit making organisation that supports young and disabled people using unclaimed inheritance. Both 300SLs will be offered with no reserve.

Artcurial Motorcars will present approximately 100 cars in the 2018 edition of the biennial sale held on 7 July during the prestigious Le Mans Classic historic racing weekend.

“With just 1380 km from new, this practically untouched 1963 300 SL Roadster, the rarest model, must be totally unique ! To appear in the same sale with its sister car, the Gullwing, that has the same provenance, is an exceptional event !»

Matthieu Lamoure, Managing Director, Artcurial Motorcars Gunnar Giermark, was a well-respected dental surgeon from Sweden, with a dental clinic in the most affluent part of Stockholm. He was an avid collector of jewellery, silver, watches and furniture, as well as cars. An eccentric and private man who rarely invited friends into his home, his collecting extended to less valuable objects including newspapers and bottles. If items were available in different versions or colours, he would buy one of each. Unwilling to dispose of anything, he soon ran out of space in his flat and bought a second home outside Stockholm that also quickly filled up.

The most valuable items Giermark collected were the two Mercedes-Benz 300SLs offered in the sale:

Estimate: 1,5 – 2M€ / 1,8 – 2,4 M$ 1,380 km from new

This car was sold new in Sweden to Gunnar Giermark on 7 July 1963. He only drove the car occasionally and when he moved it into storage at his country house, it had covered a mere 1,380km – the mileage it has today! The car was last taxed in 1966 and has been hidden away, untouched for decades. This is a highly original example of the last and most highly sought-after version of the Roadster, with disc and aluminium engine block. Just 57 examples were built in 1963, making it particularly rare. In extraordinarily original condition, well preserved from humidity, it comes with its hard-top and all the original manuals and paperwork.

Estimate: 1 – 1,5M€ / 1,2 – 1,8 M$

Giermark acquired this 1956 Gullwing in March 1968, importing it from Portugal where it had been delivered new on 21 July 1956. The mileage today stands at 62,000km and the car comes with all its original manuals. Research is currently being carried out to discover details of its Portuguese past. When Gunar Giermark died in 2011 without heirs, security was put in place by his friends to protect the cars. Over the next five years several people came forward with a claim to the cars but, in each case, the court ruled against the claimants. In 2017 the Swedish government-regulated fund for unclaimed inheritance took ownership of both cars, and have appointed Artcurial Motorcars to offer them for sale in July 2018 at Le Mans. The fascinating story of Gunnar Giermark and his Mercedes 300SLs has been broadcast in a Swedish TV documentary. Also starring in the sale will be:

Estimate: 6,5M – 7,5M€ / 8M – 9,3M€)

Sold by the factory directly to in April 1971, this factory prototype finished 5th overall in the 1971 Le Mans 24 Hours driven by Chinetti/Grossman, and won the 1971 Energy Index. With great racing history, this powerful Daytona Gr.IV #12467 is one of only 15 competition versions built by the factory. Separate press release available.
