2026 Dix Mille Tours Sunday
Our first race of the final day of the 2026 Dix Mille Tours was for Classic Endurance Racing 1 with John chasing a class podium. Starting fourth in class, he had a very strong race and moved into the lead of the two-litre class after the stops. He eventually finished eleventh overall and had to settle for second in class after he had to yield the lead to Nigel in a sister car.
Next up was the second Endurance Racing Legends heat. Yesterday’s race was a hard act to follow but after a difficult opening lap, John got into his stride and made up several places with the Corvette. After the stop, Nigel put in some stellar laps but just missed out on the podium. To underline how well the Corvette worked this weekend, Nigel did set the fastest lap of the race on the very last lap.
The weekend concluded with Classic Endurance Racing 2 and the Chevron B26. With the original rear wing back on the car, it worked much better. From 15th on the grid, John and Nigel worked their way up the order to finish seventh overall and fourth in class.
With the outright victory for the Corvette and a podium finish for John with the B19, it was a hugely successful weekend. We would like to thank the mechanics, drivers, marshals and organisation for a great event. Next round of the Le Mans Classic Series is the Estoril Classics in three weeks time.
