The AUTOSPORT 1000kms preview
A new era in sportscar racing kicks off at Silverstone this weekend, as the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup commences and the 2010 Le Mans Series wraps up in the AUTOSPORT 1000kms
The AUTOSPORT 1000kms at Silverstone is both the conclusion of this year's Le Mans Series title race, and the start of a brand new era as the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup commences.
With a pilot three-round series taking place this autumn and winter as a prelude to a full calendar in 2011, the ILMC is tipped to become the global contest the category has pined for since the demise of the Group C-based World Sportscar Championship nearly two decades ago.
