The appeal of racing Legend Cars lies in its relative affordability. In many forms of racing, more money equals faster cars, making it difficult to compete with teams possessing deep pockets full of cash. Legend Cars use the same chassis and engine specs and must weigh at least 1,250 pounds with the driver.
Legend Car specs include a mandatory full tube frame and integral roll cage. The fiberglass body must measure five feet wide, 10.5 feet long, and 46 inches tall over a 73.0-inch wheelbase. The cars all ride on coil-over suspensions, Bilstein shock absorbers, and 13-inch diameter by seven-inch wide wheels wrapped in Hoosier Racing Tires.
All Legend Cars must use engines conforming to U.S. Legend Cars International (USLCI) Engine Shop specifications. The 2024 rulebook contains a long list of engine requirements, including what modifications are allowed, what isn’t, and protest procedures designed to prevent cheating.
