The programme for Wednesday at the 24 Hours of Le Mans

All scrutineering and other preparations have been completed and all briefings have been done, now for some on-track action! Competitors of the 80th Le Mans 24 Hours, the third round of the FIA World Endurance Championship will start at 16:00 for four hours of free practice.

Drivers who are new to Le Mans experienced the track during the test day on Sunday 3rd June. Some drivers who were missing from the Test Day, will be keen to rediscover this unique and legendary circuit of long straights on what are public roads for most of the year.

The first qualifying session is scheduled from 22:00 to midnight, after the two-hour break for the practice session for competitors of the Aston Martin Le Mans Festival from 20:30 to 21:30.

Spectators will get to watch the 'Flying Brothers' in the Village at 18:15, then at 20:00 the concert of Gerald de Palmas at the Dunlop Bridge.
