As we draw ever closer to the 75th Members’ Meeting, the hankering for the noise, the sights and the sounds of on-edge historic racing swells. 2017 needs to get going already!

Happily, it is part of our mandate to find good content to satiate that hunger, and dish it out to our ravenous readers and viewers. How about the video above for a quick and intense shot of everything that is glorious about historic racing.

The place: Arnage corner, Circuit de la Sarthe. The sights: Not much besides the dim flicker of historic sportscar lights, the occasional flourish of flame, and the vivid orange glow emitted by red hot exposed turbochargers and exhaust manifolds. The sounds: Roaring V8s, shrieking V12s, old school turbo whoosh – welcome to Le Mans Classic 2016 at night, courtesy of Historic Racing HD.
