		<description><![CDATA[The most "recent" period at Le Mans Classic with a limit of 1979 for the newest car reflected again the changes after the golden age of prototypes. The evolution would go on for the 3 and 2 liter classes with Chevron, Lola and other smaller constructors trying to match Matra first and Porsche later. The GTs would also follow suit and some supercars of the time like the Ferrari 512, Porsche 935 and the BMW M1 would also get numerous entries at La Sarthe[...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a golden era for many, the time of Ford, Ferrari and Porsche battling it at the highest level. Legendary cars like the GT40, the 917 or the 330P3 and 4 raised the bar very very high...so high that the rules had to be changed drastically for 1972 leaving the 1966-1971 as a unique, unforgettable period at Le Mans. Maiden overall victories for Ford and Porsche and the twilight of Ferrari at Le Mans mark a very emotional period of Endurance racing[...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The period covered by grid 4 (1962-65) was all Ferrari at Le Mans, but towards the end it was clear that Ford would be a serious challenge for the Maranello machines. The main entries were still GTs but some of the factories were already making the transition to prototypes, the Porsche 904 or the breathtaking ISO Bizzarrini being very good examples of this[...]]]></description>

The 1957-1961 period brought big changes at Le Mans as the mythical Italian constructor would build its international reputation, the same reputation that would trigger Mr. Ford to come to La Sarthe a few years later...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is sometimes difficult to relate a modern circuit like the current one at La Sarthe with the machines that wrote the first glorious pages there in the early years. The track was much tougher back then and the drivers did not have the privilege of fireproof suits or closed helmets, however it is still pretty thrilling to see some of the early challengers come back to La Sarthe and show how different "then" was from "now"[...]]]></description>
