While it is not the Le Mans Classic that everyone was looking forward to, organizers at Peter Auto were able to put together a weekend of racing on the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans during the “usual” first weekend of July...even though Lemans is usually run in June. "What the heck. If people will buy tickets when they don't even know what day it is or what month, who are we not to make some extra money?"

The decision was made in March to postpone the Le Mans Classic, an event that draws upwards of 200,000 spectators, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While it won’t have the same feel as the Le Mans Classic of years past, racers are certainly eager to get on track at Le Mans in July...especially if they can pick up a few bucks.
