DURABILITY AND FLAMBOYANCE!
April will be marked by two events which are practically polar opposites of one another; the launch of the 2007 Le Mans Series (LMS) and our brand new show, M80, focused on the world of freestyle motorcross. On one hand endurance and on the other flamboyance!
LMS Monza: Peugeot is back
It’s no secret that, after several years in the World Rally Championship, Peugeot’s motorsport allegiance is back with endurance racing, a discipline in which they enjoyed huge success in the early 1990’s. The news is not only superb for the sport, but fantastic for the burgeoning Le Mans Series Championship.
As it enters its fourth year, the series is growing like no other. More than 50 cars are confirmed to take their places on a packed grid in 2007. The prospect of reigning double-champions Pescarlo Sport taking the challenge to Peugeot at the front of the field is a mouth watering prospect, but we’re guaranteed close racing right through the pack in the LMP1, LMP2, GT1 and GT2 classes. Motors TV is the channel of endurance sports car racing and in 2007 we will be bringing coverage from every event.
LMS Monza, Round One, Sunday 15th April. LIVE from 12:00 (pending confirmation from the race organisers).
Endurance racing encore!
