Le Mans Racers

[Lizard Racing]

I just finished the Blower Bentley (shown in separate thread).  I grouped this with other models I have of cars that had run in the 24 Hours. Some are not in the livery used at Le Mans, but gained fame elsewhere.

When you have a large collection, you start grouping them by similar types, like where they ran or engine type.

The #8 Bentley ran in 1930 and fell out after 144 laps with engine trouble.

The #722 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR is in its Mille Migla winning livery with Stirling Moss.  It was withdrawn at Le Mans after the horrific accident.

C2 Corvette #8 won the GT class at Sebring 1967 (livery) and Daytona 1968.  It lasted 167 laps at Le Mans 1967 .

C5R Corvette #2 is in the livery it won overall at Daytona 2000.  It completed 327 laps at Le Mans, finishing 2nd in class.

Well done.  Le Mans is the theme of my collection so I really like where you are going with yours.
