What’s happening at Le Mans this weekend!

This Saturday (8 June) at 15:30, Le Mans city centre will be welcoming some exceptional guests… The Hypercars are coming to town! All nine makes in the top class will be parading their cars along a 2.1-kilometre loop through the city.

Nine Hypercars, one LMP2 and seven LMGT3s will end Saturday’s Scrutineering session. They will be joined by a Safety Car and the Bentley 3 Litre Sport that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924.

The 2.1-kilometre loop from Quai Louis Blanc at the foot of the Roman wall on the river Sarthe, returning via the Tunnel Wilbur Wright, taking in rue Gambetta, Place de la République, Boulevard René Levasseur and Place des Jacobins is twice as long as last year’s route and will give more people a chance to admire several endurance racing stars, including 2023 winner the Ferrari 499P, and the recently unveiled BMW M Hybrid V8 Art Car. 

For safety reasons, pedestrians will be permitted to cross the road at allocated times only: 15:38 and 15:51. Marshals and other officials will survey the whole route. Spectators are requested to comply with instructions from officials on site to ensure maximum enjoyment for all!
