04 · Overview
A 24-hour endurance race on the Circuit de la Sarthe, a 13.6 km lap that mixes purpose-built track with public roads outside Le Mans — including the Mulsanne Straight, where cars run at over 300 km/h on a road that carries traffic for the rest of the year. Around 60 cars start, each shared by three drivers, and the race runs continuously from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.
Le Mans is the race that defines endurance racing and one leg of the informal triple crown with Monaco and the Indy 500. Its history is written by manufacturers — Bentley in the 1920s, Ferrari in the 1960s, Ford's four-year campaign against Ferrari, then Porsche, Audi and Toyota — and the race is still the place where a manufacturer proves its engineering. Most of the circuit is closed public road, which is what makes the speeds remarkable and the event's logistics a year-round operation.
The first 24 Hours of Le Mans ran in 1923 and has been held almost every year since, with a hiatus in 1936 and through the Second World War. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest has organised every edition, and the race has driven technical change repeatedly — closed cockpits, diesel prototypes, hybrid systems and now the Hypercar regulations that brought manufacturers back in numbers. The 2027 edition is the 95th running.
