The première of the official film of the 2017 race is organised jointly by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and the Méga CGR cinema in Saint-Saturnin, north of Le Mans. It captures all the excitement of the race that saw Porsche take advantage of Toyota’s struggles to clinch a third consecutive win, an outstanding performance by the LMP2s that led the field for some time, a thrilling last lap in LMGTE Pro between Aston Martin and Corvette and JMW Motorsport win in LMGTE Am!
This film that pays tribute to the world’s greatest endurance race will be streamed live on myACO from 8pm (CET) in English or French. If you haven’t already done so, simply set up your account to follow the event.
