The Big Return For Porsche at Le Mans

Hello to all Race Fans,

The most famous endurance race in the world will be upon us very soon, And to make it even more interesting this 90 year Porsche are returning...in 2014.They have been away some years now, But I bet they have something up there sleeve to show the world of endurance racing. Good Luck Porsche, I and other race fans around the world welcome your return.....At Last....You will give Audi a run for the money...

This race is a chapter of automotive history since 1923- 24 Heures Du Mans. In 2013 this iconic race, which has seen some of the most beautiful duels of legendary manufacturers and drivers come together to compete in the best endurance race in the world, will be celebrating it's 90th Birthday of the sport. This is the worlds oldest active sports car race in endurance racing, held every year since 1923 in france near to the town of Le Mans. More Commonly known as the Grand Prix of Endurance & Efficiency. The Teams have to balance speed against the cars ability to run for 24 hours without sustaining damage and manage the cars consumables such as fuel and tyres. The Drivers endurance is also tested, drivers can spend over 2 hours behind the wheel before stopping and allowing a relief driver to take over.

The race is organised by the Automobile Club de L'Quest(ACO) and runs on the Circuit de la Sarthe, a circuit containing a mix of closed public roads and a specialist motor racing circuits that are mean't not only to test a car and driver's ability to be quick, but also to last over a 24 hour period. The teams will race in groups called classes, for cars of similar specification while at the same time competing for outright placing amongst all of the classes. The race was originally held for cars sold to the general public as sport cars compared to the specialist racing cars used in the Grand Prix. Over time, the competing vehicles evolved away from their publicly available road car roots and today, the race is split into two classes of specialized enclosed-bodywork two-seat Prototype sports cars and two classes of Grand Touring cars which bear much closer resemblance to high performance sports cars as sold to the public today,

We have seen many winners from Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Porsche & Ford to name a few and legendary drivers such as Bob Wollek, Mario Andretti & Tom Kristensen

I wonder who will join the ever ending list of winners this year.
