The Legends
Legends are not voted in - they are matched. When a documented car meets a published criteria set, it becomes a Legend automatically. No nominations, no judges, no fees.
No Legends match this filter yet - the criteria are published and waiting.
How a car becomes a Legend
1
Document the car
Specs and provenance fields on the car page are the only input.
2
The criteria run automatically
Every published criteria set is a checklist, not a contest. Match it and the car is in - Provisional the moment the specs line up.
3
Verified follows the paperwork
When documentation confirms the specs, the tier flips from Provisional to Verified.

Think a criteria set is missing - an option package, a homologation run, a one-year engine? Propose the criteria, not a car. If it is published, every matching car becomes a Legend automatically - including cars whose owners never asked.
