Historic GT3 Cars race at Silverstone - GT3 Legends Silverstone 2024

It has been longer than I would have liked since I published a video from this event, but here is my full trackside highlights from the inaugural GT3 Legends race at Silverstone in October.

This is a new series organised by the same group of people who run the Endurance Racing Legends in collaboration with Peter Auto, but rather than having historic GT1 and LMP900 cars, this series aims to have full grids of retired GT3 cars racing again. 2006 until 2012, and up to 2015 specs is the cutoff for cars that can be entered in the series, so clearly this series is designed for early GT3 machines, as seen in the video.

The entry list actually surprised me, with a massive 27 entries. The cars included in this list were the BMW Z4 GT3, Lamborghini Gallardo GT3 (LP560 & LP600), Ferrari 458 GT3, Ferrari F430 GT3, Audi R8 LMS Ultra GT3, Porsche 997 GT3-R, Nissan GT-R GT3, McLaren MP4-12C GT3, Aston Martin DBRS9 GT3, and some oddities in the Morgan Aero Super Sport GT3 and Dodge Viper GT3.

Unfortunately a few of these 27 cars did not do any of the sessions despite being entered, and the questionable driving standards in the race taking a few extra cars out as well. Despite this it was amazing to see so many of these "historic" machines on track, many for the first time.
