This weekend (July 3–6), the iconic Circuit de la Sarthe in France is hosting the Le Mans Classic 2025, a biennial celebration of vintage racing cars. Geoff Isringhausen will compete in a support race called Endurance Racing Legends, which features iconic GT and prototype cars from the 1990s and 2000s, including legends like the Ferrari 333 SP, Bentley Speed 8, and Audi R8 LMP. Geoff will drive the Castrol-liveried Porsche 911 GT3 R shown above.
The races are part of a broader celebration of endurance racing history, organized by Peter Auto, and they bring together collectors and fans to relive the golden era of long-distance motorsport. Anyone wishing to check out the action should head over to Peter Auto's YouTube channel.
Competing at Le Mans is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any racing enthusiast. Let’s all wish Geoff a safe, thrilling, and successful weekend on the world’s most iconic circuit!
UPDATE: Geoff and his co-driver, Christian Kuhn, qualified 60th among 71 entries with a lap time of 5:53.963. While they didn’t capture a podium finish or record the fastest lap during the race, simply taking part in this prestigious event is a remarkable achievement in its own right.
