Le Mans Classic: Concours Le Mans Heritage Club

Among the other high points of the weekend is the prestigious Concours Le Mans Heritage Club, which consists of 30 hand-picked cars, which have all taken part in the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1923 and today. Among those already selected is a 1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG GTR, one of the five Renault 4 CVs entered in the 24 Hours by the factory in 1951, an ex-NART ASA RB Type 613 1300 GT (only 3 were built), that raced in the event in 1966 and which is back in the Sarthe for the first time since then, plus the Alpine A310 called the Dieppe Fish that ran in the 1977 race. The 30 selected will do a lap of honour of the track giving the spectators a glimpse of the most exceptional cars that have written the history of this legendary event for almost a century.
