context_page_description: Legends car racing is a style of auto racing designed primarily to promote exciting racing and to keep costs down. The race car bodyshells are 5/8-scale replicas of American automobiles from the 1930s and 1940s, powered by a Yamaha XJ1250, FJ1200, or starting in 2018, FZ09 engine. The worldwide sanctioning body for legends car racing is INEX.
  Legends cars are a "spec" series, meaning all cars are mechanically identical, with the exception of three styles of car available with 10 types of body styles.
context_section_description: Brought to Scotland by Aly Hunter, and with only six cars taking to the grid in April 2000 at Knockhill, it is now the norm to find around 20 cars taking part, with 25 competing in the support races at the 2007 BTCC meeting.  All the races in 2007 took place at Knockhill, but the series has organised “away” rounds at Croft, Oulton Park, Donington Park, Cadwell Park and Anglesey in recent years.  The series observes the same race format rules as the UK legends, however the races are 8 and 10 laps long for the heats and final respectively.
  Legends are available for race or track hire at Knockhill.
