The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the unmissable event for any true motorsport enthusiast — an ultimate test of endurance, speed, and survival for both man and machine. The event itself holds an almost mystical quality; the moment you set foot in the small town of Le Mans in northwestern France, you can sense the magic and weight of a place so steeped in history. During the 24 Hours period, Le Mans is transformed into a true Woodstock for motorsport lovers, with ten days packed with can’t-miss experiences that immerse you fully in automotive passion.

The 2025 edition officially kicks off on Friday, June 7th with the traditional “Pesage” at Place de la République, the administrative and technical scrutineering of the 93rd running of the 24 Hours. It’s a unique chance to get up close to the participating cars and drivers, who on Saturday afternoon, June 8th, further ignited fans’ hearts with a parade of 30 cars along a 2.1-kilometer loop through the city center, lined with thousands of cheering supporters.
