What is an Oval Track legend Car?
Well, it's a custom built racing car designed to look like a 1930's Ford / Chevy sedan / coupe. There are several body styles used, but the idea is they look like "legendary" pre-war US cars. However they're built to a 5/8th scale and were originally created by 600 racing in North Carolina USA to meet the need of cost effective racing.
All Legends cars are built to the same tightly controlled specification, which ensures drivers are distinguished on skill rather than how much money they can throw at the car.
They use a 1250cc 125HP Yamaha bike engine, have a purpose bulit racing frame and roll cage, and with a locked differential and tight sterring they are extremely responsive racing cars, capable of 0 - 60 in 3.5 seconds. With the tight control on car specification, and based on a non-contact formula Legend racing is fast and skillful.
