The golden era of endurance racing came alive at Pelican Park with the running of the Grand Sport Class. This class commemorates the legendary prototypes and GT cars of from ‘60 through ’70. The rules specify a choice of 1/24, 1/25 plastic model bodies. These are mounted on sophisticated brass and wire chassis in an in-line configuration. Power is supplied by ProSlot 16D or Deathstar motors. These cars fast and fun to drive
The grid for the race read like a Hall of Fame in Motorsports history, and included Ferraris, Porsche 917s, GT40s and a lone Pantera -machines built for speed, stamina, and style. These were the cars that conquered Le Mans, Daytona, and Sebring, where races weren’t won in minutes but in grueling hours of precision, power, and strategy.
