The Circuit de la Sarthe was transformed into a veritable Woodstock of motors. A tide of fans, collectors, drivers and onlookers crowded every corner of the track, living a unique experience that went beyond mere sporting evocation. Because Le Mans is not just a legendary track, it is a sacred place for motoring enthusiasts that unites generations and cultures thanks to their passion for cars and racing.

The beating heart of the event was, as always, the six race grids divided by era. Over 800 cars competed on the track in the various categories, creating a timeless spectacle.
