ENTRIES INVITED FOR LE MANS CELEBRATION RACE TO COMMEMORATE 1959 MG CAR CLUB ENTRY

The MG Car Club is inviting entries for a Le Mans Celebration race at Oulton Park on 9 May 2009. Entries are for cars of a type and in a form which were raced up to 1965 - including pre-war. All cars should be to FIA specification running on road tyres or "L" sections. The Le Mans Celebration Race is by invitation, but if you wish to receive an application, please call Steve Carr at the MG Car Club office, tel 01235 555552.

The race coincides with publication of a book which records the MGCC North West Centre entries at Le Mans in 1959, 1960 and 1961. These were disguised `works` entries after the MG Car company officially withdrew from Le Mans following the 1955 accident.

The occasion will be an opportunity for the personnel involved to gather at Oulton, along with the actual MGA used at Le Sarthe. The first 25 entries for the race will receive copies of the book, fully autographed at the presentation. Entries are sought from all makes - including, of course, MGs, but they must be of a type which raced at the classic long distance race during the period.
