Photography by David Lord
         
On Saturday evening at the Alain Prost track, drivers of this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours teamed up with journalists and photographers for a light hearted kart race – not!

Henri Pescarolo dropped the chequered flag for the start of the 48 minute race. François Hurel of Le Mans Racing magazine and Franck Mailleux emerged victorious from the chaos. Christian Klien And Laurent Dupin Claimed Second. British honours were up held by Andy Meyrick and LAT’s Drew ‘race fan’ Gibson.
