But Bolton does'nt have a Race Track....!!
Bolton has a long tradition of being at the heart of innovation, indeed the Industrial Revolution of the 1800's was sparked by the collaboration of 2 local inventors James Arkwright and Samuel Crompton, the inventor of the Spinning Mule in 1779, which resulted in the mechanisation of the textile industry making Bolton a world leader in the new industrial era. It is this inspiration that see's Bolton take the lead once more through the develpoment of the VIRTUAL RACE TRACK. Using the latest ONLINE GAMING technology the Bolton Le Mans Motorsport Festival will be staging the first Virtual Le Mans 24 hour race. Race teams and individuals will compete in the race under full l'Ouest Racing Club rules and the Festival will stage a truly GLOBAL race experience open to anyone with access to a P.C. Competitors will be competing for the 'Barons Virtual Motorsport Cup' as well as the title of 'Winner' of the Virtual Le Mans 24 hour race
