Historic racing is often maligned for being more like a parade than a race, and while that is not a baseless critique it does not always apply. One can still see old cars trading fresh coats of paint, in Europe especially, but no matter how hard the grid of near-priceless cars is charging it is simply impossible to recreate the stakes of the original competition. You can find some great modern battles between old cars at the front of the pack in vintage events, but it just doesn’t really matter who wins. The spectators are mostly there to experience the past (whether they were a part of it or not), and there are few better ways to travel back in time than the biennial Le Mans Classic.
