AUTOSPORT HISTORICS 25 JULY 2019 7

SILVERSTONE CLASSIC PREVIEW

Rapid racing into the night

The race into dusk on Saturday night is always one of

the most atmospheric at the Classic and, as in 2018, that

honour falls to the Masters Endurance Legends this

weekend. Some of these cars have barely been retired

and could be seen at Le Mans until just a few years

ago – and they are fast. Last year’s double victor

Steve Tandy (Lola-Mazda B12/60) is back and should be

challenged by Christophe d’Ansembourg’s Lola-Aston

Martin, the Peugeot 90X of Kriton Lendoudis and

Emmanuel Collard’s Pescarolo. But the highlight for

many will be the UK racing debut of the Bentley Speed 8

in the hands of the experienced Shaun Lynn.
