I attended the first race meeting of the GT3 Legends created and curated by Jarrah Venables in collaboration with the Motor Racing Legends series. Jarrah is also running the Enduro Racing Legends alongside a field of cars hosted by Peter Auto that race around the world This was the first race to showcase what we can look forward to in 2025.
A grid of historic GT3 cars from 2006 to 2012 but allowing cars run up to 2015 specification is separated into three classes:
C1 are cars from 2006 - 2009
C2 are cars from 2010 - 2012
C3 are cars from 2013 -2015
With a grid of 23 cars and a 50 minute race with a pit stop, you can expect some noisy wheel to wheel racing.
Below are my photos and clips from the event.

As this race was not broadcast anywhere I will give you the winners in each class:
Overall and C3 winners were Matt Holme and Andrew Jordan in the Chevrolet Corvette.
C2 winners and second overall were Nick Maton and Jack Tetley in the Lamborghini Gallardo GT3.
C1 winners were Roger Whiteside and Harry Barton in the No.100 Morgan Aero Supersport GT3.
This was a fantastic race that had a lot of action.
I spoke to Jarrah after the race, he has high hopes for the series next year. Jarrah told me he is expecting much bigger grids for the 4 race 2025 season so I advise if you can, go to one of them, if not, hopefully they will be broadcast online.
