When speaking of the Le Mans 24 Hours, we talk about one of the most important endurance races in the world. It takes place on the Le Mans Bugatti circuit in the temple of motorsport.
The magic of Le Mans prevails for nearly a week at the Le Mans 24 Hours, and there is an atmosphere that can not be found anywhere else. A feast of the motorcycle racing that attract riders from all over Europe. This 35th edition will be under a spirit of conviviality after a spectator charter introduced by the organizer (Automobile Club de l'Ouest).
On the track, are 55 teams who will compete. The battle will rage first during free practice and qualifying. The race favourites will want send a message to their opponents by taking pole position.
At the start, a rider makes a "hole shot" at Le Mans. To lead the Le Mans 24 Hours in the early laps is a unique sensation. He can feel the pressure at this point not to make any mistakes.
Therein lies the mastery of these athletes. Among the favourite teams, the riders are very experienced. It is imperative for riders to maintain their pace in this long race.
The magic of Le Mans also involves amateur teams that are prepared throughout the year for this unique race. The difficulty of the Le Mans 24 Hours that the primary objective of these teams is to finish at all costs without really worrying about the championship standings. At 15:00 on Sunday the 9th of September 9, it will be a great moment of joy, an explosion, a unique emotion compounded by fatigue and lack of sleep, to be able to say "we did it."
This 35th edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours is unique because it is (for the first time this year) the final round of the World Endurance Championship. Four teams can still win the title and no doubt they will compete fiercely for victory. Depending on the circumstances of the race, some could be in line for victory.
To win is a difficult thing in this amazing 24 hour race that is strewn with hazards. Especially since there are both the favourites for victory and the teams that are not in contention for the world title. The latter have nothing to lose and will aim for the win at all costs.
You'll understand the Le Mans 24 Hours this year, the battle will rage on the track. A spectacle on the track and off with many spectator events for general enclosure ticket holders.
First appointment is Thursday, September 6th to attend and participate in this celebration of motorcycling!
