"Legends Cars invited to French Grand Prix 27/05/2005
Legends Cars have been invited to take part in the forthcoming French Grand Prix race programme at Magny-Cours on 1st, 2nd and 3rd July. 40 cars from across Europe will race at the event with practice on Friday morning followed by the first race during the afternoon. The cars will then contest a second race on Saturday.
Legends Cars growth in Europe is almost as fast as the cars themselves. A French series was started last year and is being run by former Super Touring Champion Jean-Phillippe Dayraut. This season has also seen the formula starting in Belgium and Spain, with further competitions due to start shortly in both Germany and Portugal.
“It’s fantastic to receive this invitation,” says 600 Racing Europe’s Phil Cooper. “It just goes to show how much respect the organisers of the Grand Prix have for Legends Cars as both a serious competition and as an entertaining concept. It’s still early days for the formula in France too. We’ve come a long way in a very short space of time.”
“This year’s UK entry alone underlines just how serious Legends Cars racing is being taken. Let’s face it, it’s economically tough out there and yet we’ve got full grids and the most talent rich entry we’ve ever had with champions from all fields of motor racing. It must be one of the competitive formulae in Europe and certainly the most cost effective given the level of competition.”
Legends Cars are the only UK National motor racing formula to contest a genuine World Championship each year, the event is contested in the USA at Infineon Raceway, (nee Sears Point) each November. The UK Championship is contested over 14 rounds at leading circuits in England, Scotland and Wales. "
