Cool video of the impressive "Olympia" Charger that I had the chance to see closer in the paddocks at Le Mans Classic 2012 and 2014.

The Olympia Charger is actually a '74 that ran Le Mans in '76.

Would LeMans Classic be like the historic racing at Monterey?

[JPM]

It is ! The best event in France, on the track and in all the theme parkings... It stands every two years, we have to wait for 2016 now.

The original Oly Special that ran Le Mans back then was a 72 Charger. The current car is an original 74 race-chassis that was painted up to look like the 72 that ran back in the day. They Olympia Special guys have a blog/site that has page and pages and pages of cool info on it.
