24h Le Mans
Next year's European Le Mans Series will return to five of the six top European circuits visited in 2023, and for the first time ever, a round will be held at Mugello in Italy. A night race in Portugal is tapped to close out the season.
The Barcelona circuit will once again host the Prologue (8-10 April) as well as the first round of the season (12-14 April). The 4 Hours of Le Castellet in France (3-5 May) is scheduled one month before the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, followed by the 4 Hours of Imola (5-7 July) and 4 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (23-25 August).
The first-ever running of the 4 Hours of Mugello will be held on 27-29 September. The season finale will again take place at the circuit in Portugal, but this time the 4 Hours of Portimão (18-20 October) will hit the track at night!
