COMMENT
Le Mans Classic 2025 had it all. Two days of scorching sunshine, followed by a Sunday of heavy rain that tested drivers, and spectators alike. Our favourite racer combo? The team of Martin Halusa and Alex Ames in the pre-war Alfa Romeo. Carrying a sixty second deficit into their final race, they ignored the dreadful conditions, crossing the line far enough ahead to take the race, and Plateau 1 Category outright.
As ever, we enjoyed reporting Le Mans Classic 2025. Next year Peter Auto and ACO are ringing the changes, with a fresh approach. Expect to see more modern race-cars in 2026. It' going to be faster, noisier, and bigger than ever!
LE MANS CLASSIC 2025 is the biggest gathering of historic cars and like minded spectators in the world, and this year's event, now just days away, is already a sell-out. The question is, with the Classic now becoming an annual event, and teams already finding it excruciatingly expensive, will the support continue? We shall have to wait and see.
FESTIVAL OF SPEED. Retro-Speed Magazine will be there and reporting back with the latest pics and stories. Watch out for the iconic Lister Storm, driven by our Team Retro-Speed member, Harry Barton.
ROGER ALBERT CLARK RALLY. November might seem a long time away but before you know it winter will be with us. The 2025 Roger Albert Clark looks to be the best historic event of the year, passing through the forest stages that made the original rally such a hit. Watch out for the Lancia, taking on a host of Ford Escorts. Wonderful stuff.
