Le Mans Classic Is Now An Annual Event

[Jay Gadsby]

Peter Auto have today released the following -

"LE MANS CLASSIC BECOMES
AN ANNUAL EVENT FROM 2026!
In response to ever-increasing demand, Le Mans Classic will become an annual event from 2026.

It's an historic change, in response to the public's enthusiasm, to offer drivers and collectors more opportunities to race, and to enable all generations to experience the magic of classic endurance racing more often, more intensely and more widely."

The next one will now be 2026.

I'm happy about that

From what I know, they will alternate the periods, one year it will be 1920 up to 1975, the next year will be 1976 and over.

From what I know, they will alternate the periods, one year it will be 1920 up to 1975, the next year will be 1976 and over.

I wonder why is 1975/1976 the cut off year?

The split periods thing has took the edge off of the plan for me - being mostly interested in the 50's - 60's - 70's eras.

It looks like it will still be a biennial event for me.
