The entry list for the 87th running of the Grand Prix d’Endurance looks like it will break records in more ways than one! 62 cars will line up on the grid on Saturday afternoon (assuming they survive practice and qualifying), and a record 12 cars of various descriptions will be rocking up at the Big Coq Racing base camp at some point during the week. This level of participation has not been seen since the heydays of the TVR City Region, and we can only wait with baited breath to see whether this year will mark the return of The Pyramid of Fire (i.e. bins), or someone securing fireworks to the ground using a burning log next to a Ferrari and their unconscious friends:
Past performance indicates that just as not all competitors will reach the chequered flag, not all Big Coq Racing cars will stay the course and make it back with the convoy. Let’s try not to break last year’s record, eh, Freebie and Robin?
