International Sports Prototypes is a professionally run series featuring sports cars that must have raced during the legendary Le Mans period - the years 1963 - 1970. International Sports Prototypes encapsulates all the magic, drama and excitement of those days.

classic and historic car racing

The series is run by such names as Richard Attwood, Stirling Moss, Reine Wisell, David Piper and Mike Knight. Other drivers who have guested at International Sports Prototypes events include Didier Pironi, Rene Arnoux, Derek Bell and Jacques Laffite.

The cars that star in this series are very fast, even by todays standards, beautiful, often very rare and extremely valuable. They include the legendary Porsche 917, the 908, Ferrrai 512, P4, P2, LM, Ford GT40, and the F3L, Alfa Romeo Typo 33/3, Matra 650 and the beautiful Lola T70. The 2 litre coupes comprise, in the main, the gorgeous Chevron B16's. Ferrari P4 Ford F3L GT40

Special note can be made of three cars mentioned here - the Ferrari P4 is one of only three remaining in the world, and the only example racing, driven by David Piper.

The Ford F3L which was designed as the follow up car to the world beating GT40 is one of only three that remain, and is amongst the most dramatic looking of all Sports Prototypes.
It is usually driven by Richard Attwood, as it was in its heyday.
Finally our Matra Ford MS650, the car that finished 4th at Le Mans in 1969 is the only example of that classic marque likely to be seen in competition anywhere in the world.
It is driven by Mike Knight and David Piper.

In all the International Sports Prototypes grid has a combined value in excess of £4 million each time that it appears.

"I've tried many types of racing since I came back into the sport following my major accident at Goodwood, and I can honestly say Sports Prototypes is the most fun, whilst remaining serious and competitive. It's got absolutely everything for all of us drivers and the spectators as well.
For a start, the cars are fantastic - not only beautiful but quick. The racing is always good, often superb and the parties before and after must not be missed! Join me and some of my best friends - be a part of the International Sports Prototypes Series this year."
