For the second time this month, all eyes are on Le Mans this week. The full-length Circuit de la Sarthe will be in use once more, this time for the 11th edition of the Le Mans Classic. Celebrating the Le Mans centennial, it promises to be bigger and better than ever before. Not having missed one edition, we will be at the track to capture all the action. To get you in the mood, we have taken a closer look at this very striking Porsche 935/79 that competed in last year's event. It was originally sold to Gianpiero Moretti and campaigned in MOMO colours. The very last 935/79 produced by the factory, it was only recently prepared for historic racing.
As part of the event, Artcurial will stage the traditional Le Mans Classic Auction on Friday. Headlining the sale is another Porsche, the 962C that finished third overall at Le Mans in 1990. This was quite an achievement for the small Japanese team that ran the car as the black machine finished ahead of all the works cars except for a pair of Jaguars. In the hands of its current owner, 962-154 has been meticulously prepared by Equipe Europe and campaigned in historic events. It is estimated to sell for €1.5 - €1.8 million. From the same stable comes this Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT2. This car was raced predominantly in Japan and with considerable success. It did appear in the 2015 Aston Martin Festival race at Le Mans. Eligible for the popular Endurance Racing Legends series, GT2/005 has a pre-sale estimate of €500,000 - 800,000.
