Morgan people at the Le Mans Classic in 2004

For cars that either raced at Le Mans or are of a type that raced at Le Mans, racing on the full 24 hour circuit (only open two other times in the year - as it costs around 800,000 Euros to close the public roads, etc).

A fantastic weekend with an amazing amount of classic cars all in one place

1959 Lotus 17
Grid 3, No 42

Peter Horsman & Rick Lloyd were racing the first production model Lotus 17 (out of a total of 23 built), which was delivered to Ian Walker Racing on 9 April 1959.

Raced variously in international races by Ian Walker and Alan Stacey, it suffered from the 'sudden oversteer' design fault on 17s, subsequently corrected by Lotus retro-fit front suspension mods.

The car competes in the Gentleman Drivers' Series as well as the Le Mans Classic, being co-driven by Rob Wells, who is also responsible for the car's preparation.
