Morgan heads Sarthe after 40-years absence

Morgan will return to Le Mans this season, 40 years since the Great Malvern-based marque last contested the race.

In 1962, Morgan won the two-litre class with a Plus 4, but will tackle this year’s race with an Aero 8 GT-N driven by Steve Hyde, Richard Stanton and Richard Hay.

Chris Lawrence, one of the drivers of that class-winning Plus 4, registered TOK 258, is a technical adviser for the new project.
