	Sports car racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prototype racing is the highest level of competition in the classification of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the sanctioning body for Le Mans and the model for the American Le Mans Series.
		A kind of hybrid between the purism of open-wheelers and the familiarity of touring car racing, this racing is often associated with the annual Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race, one of the oldest motor races still in existence.
		Back in the 1950s, these cars were also used for open-road endurance races across Europe such as the Mille Miglia, Tour de France and Targa Florio, but the high casualty rate eventually forced the end of this undeniably romantic but also dangerous form of motor sport.

		Currently the concentration of I.M.S.A. and organizations such as the Automobile Club de L’Ouest ( A.C.O.- organizers of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race) is to reduce the costs of racing and increase the competition between the competitors.
		Between 1972 and 1979 sports car racing fell into decline because of uncertain world-wide economics and frequent changes in the rules by the F.I.A. The sports cars of this time were typified by open cockpits and minimal downforce generating bodies and wings.
		The sports prototypes racing cars of the early 1990s were called “two seat Grand Prix cars” because of their Formula One derived engines and astonishing cornering capabilities.
