Le Mans: The Legend is back in Town!

Next weekend, the September 18-20, the world of endurance racing comes to Texas as the FIA World Endurance Championship and the Tudor United Sportscar Championship come together for Lone Star Le Mans, a weekend of racing and entertainment at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin.  

But, before we get to the track action, there is one date that all fans of motor racing and classic movies should put in their diaries. 

A screening of the 1971 1971 Steve McQueen film ‘Le Mans’ will be held on Wednesday, September 10 at 8:00pm at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, Austin.  It is a free screening and those that attend will be registered to win a trip for two people to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 2015 to experience the sights, sounds and excitement for real.

So why not go along for the perfect introduction into the high speed world of sportscar racing and the style of racing that will be available for all visitors to the Circuit of the Americas on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 18-20.
