Officially, the first list of cars and drivers for the Little big mans has been published! 56 cars and their budding champions will compete in one of the flagship events of the Le Mans Classic ! The selection committee will meet again at the end of January to select the next class of pilots.
Open to children aged 7 to 12, Little Big Mans is a parade of exceptional miniature replicas of sports vehicles for the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans! Above all, these miniature replicas are equipped with thermal or electric engines! Among the cars that make up the first list, we can already highlight miniature replicas of legendary models such as the Peugeot 302-402, the Jaguar Type D or the Matra MS670! A complete program!
Little Big Mans is a parade, not a race
Little Big Mans is a parade! The mini-drivers still have to wait to see who is the best among them: there will be no ranking, because it is in no way a race... another peculiarity: the start of this parade is a "Le Mans" type start, and always takes place to a standing ovation from the public present!
A conquered public rekindling enthusiasm season after season
One thing is certain: all previous editions of Little Big Mans have captivated young and old alike. Both the public and the participants were captivated. Only 90 mini-cars will be allowed to participate in this parade. It now seems clear that the event should fill up quickly.
Little Big Mans is one of the highlights of Le Mans Classic. The "Le Mans" starts of the future junior champions are always met with applause. The parade is open to children aged 7 to 12 who drive internal combustion or electric cars, miniature replicas of models from the golden age of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. But be warned, the mini-drivers still have to wait to find out who is the best among them: there will be no sorting, because this is in no way a race...
Commitment side… The Little Big Mans commitment includes: access to the Parade; access to the Junior Drivers Club where meals are served from Saturday lunchtime; access to the reception tent; training on the kart track and “accompanying” ticketing for the general enclosure, paddocks for 2 and 1 parking space.
Trackside…After the "Le Mans" start given by the parade director, they go to their cars parked in a herringbone pattern to cover 4 km, during which time they must be careful because – as a safety duty – they are surrounded by gendarmerie motorcycles, military police and the ACO, and also Le Mans Classic scooters. Everyone must be equipped with a helmet, which it is forbidden to forget.
Paddock side… Just like the older competitors, the very young competitors have their own paddock to park their cars from Friday morning and can eat at the Junior Drivers Club from Saturday. However, a hospitality tent for entertainment with games, open throughout the weekend under the supervision of activity leaders, welcomes them from Friday.
Training side…There's no reason why budding young drivers can't practice. They'll be able to race on the circuit's Alain Prost karting track, provided they register in advance.
Dress Code Side…A jumpsuit is the ideal outfit for any self-respecting driver. The Little Big Mans jumpsuit was generously donated to proudly display the Le Mans Classic colors during the parade preceding Sunday's prize-giving ceremony.
