Night call Le Mans Classic. Racing on the big circuit is a privilege but doing it at night is very special. Sometimes you end up alone on the track at night for few laps. That’s the magic of Le Mans. You have the track for you, you spot the moon looking at you, very few lights at the key corners makes an experience absolutely unforgettable. Especially when the car works like it should and graces you with long flames on downshifts.
Pure magic !

And that’s a wrap for the 2026 Le Mans Classic Legends. Quite an unusual edition but still a privilege to race on the big track at Le Mans.
Also unusual is the fact that we haven’t had any problems during the whole week end. The car drove like a train and without few mistakes and unfortunate events we would have finished much higher in the rankings. A spin in the last lap of race 1 and a lap timer which fell off and decided to settle under the pedals did cost us a lot of time. But hey we finished and are so happy with our result.

Interesting also was to compare our car to three other 924 GTP/GTR, the largest gathering of 924 race cars at Le Mans Classic to date. We hope this showed how potent the “little” Porsche is even compared to more famous competition such as 911 RSR or 911 Turbo group 4.

That was a great week end of pure racing and most of all friendship and teamwork. Thanks to Crubilé Sport aka the Porsche Guru, and our close friends PML - Paris Motors Legend and Lord Matt for helping us through the week end.

Next one please.

Can we just say in pure brutal honesty that the Luce is the sh*ttiest car ever built by Ferrari ? Suddenly the Mondial appears sexy and the 348 will rise from its grave.
We don’t give a f… about the 1050 electric HP or the iPhone dashboard design. That’s just useless and disgraceful for the Ferrari brand and history. Period.

How can a board of such a powerful company think that a BYD like car priced at 640 KUSD will bring more fame to such a famous brand ?

And how can Ferrari sell its soul to China EV cars buyers in need of more recognition ? You don’t need that Ferrari. You won Daytona, you won Le Mans, you brought the F40 to this world and many more iconic cars that will forever stay on top of any car nut bucket list. You don’t need to use your power to convince people that your latest EV is the car to have. Your customers don’t care about EV. They want V8 and V12 in a sharp designed sports car.

You think you will make more money by enlarging your market ? Maybe. But your soul will be forever lost amongst the battery powered vehicle manufacturers who will without a doubt soon offer a better EV car that will be 5 times cheaper.

Stick to what you do the best since 1947. Built cars that excite us. That go fast and make some noise. That don’t care about a so called new world in which freedom has been banned.

Ferrari embodies a certain way of life. This could be an old world for some, but it still carries a certain idea of freedom and excellence. Michelangelo is not an old world. Picasso is not an old world. These are history.

Just what Ferrari was. Until the Luce.

Come on Ferrari !

Our babies are back home. We are so hyped to have been part of and can’t wait for the 2027 edition.

In the meantime we will prepare Le Mans Classic with the Porsche 924 GTR and probably a couple of events with the Camaro.

Stay tuned.

We are thrilled to confirm our entry at Le Mans Classic with the ex BF Goodrich, factory backed Porsche 924 GTR. After one 24 hours of Le Mans, two Sebring 12 hours and two Daytona 24 hours under its belt, the 924 GTR will enter its third Le Mans Classic.

Interestingly, the 2026 edition will see four Porsche 924 GTP and GTR in plateau 6. We can’t wait !

Stay tuned.

From Italian, European and world championship rally stages to a French collection since 1984, our Lancia Stratos is one of the successful privateer group 4, prepared by University Motors and run by Jolly Club in the early years, that has seen a lot of action from 1976 to 1982. Only three owners from new and crystal clear ownership history, plus a documented racing history from day one. A great example of one of the most iconic rally car ever, this Stratos is ready to enter a new collection or enter any historic event like the Tour Auto or Monte Carlo historic.

And it’s a wrap for the 11th edition of the underground party. Huge thank to our friends, customers, fellow car nuts for all the laughs, drinks, good times and serious conversations about everything cars.

We think we have now reached the maximum capacity of the party with more than 350 people attending. We’ll figure how to do it next year.

From a rusty rat rod beetle (aka Tetanus) to a Nissan R390 GT1, by way of a row of Porsche 356 and a period raced Lancia Stratos group 4, we have once again tried to gather the most eclectic array of cars be it race or street.

We’ll be back next year.
