Le Mans Classic 2012 - getting a drive or entry????
Posted: Tue May 10, 2011 10:54 pm
Hi - as some of you know I'm building a FIA '65 911 race car that I hope to race in the Masters Series and other notable classic races, UK and abroad. Ultimately I'd like to race the car at the Le Mans Classic but I'm only too well aware how hard it is to get an entry - you need the right car (pref not a replica) and to be "known" to the ACO. I'm slightly lacking in both these departments at the moment and even though the 911 would be ready I know I stand little chance getting an entry for the 2012 race.
In an attempt to get the ball rolling early I'm looking for some pointers as to whom I can contact with the view of sharing a drive. More than happy to pay my share of costs etc. Obviously I'd much prefer to be in a Porsche of some description but happy to consider anything to get a run out!!
I would also consider using my '65 911 and offering shared drives to others if I thought we would be able to get an entry? I'm open to all ideas.
I will upgrade my race licence to International Historic through the season (if I ever get out!). I've raced 911's for nearly 10 years now from 2.7RS, 964's, 996's and my current 996 GT3 Cup here in Ireland and with PCGB in the UK.
Any help at this stage would be gratefully accepted.
