Le Mans 24 Club

Always occurring on the Friday from around 4pm to 7pm A procession of the 'pilotes' (drivers) being driven in cars from all eras through Le Mans town with huge crowds made up of race fans and locals. Always good to get there early and secure your viewing spot. Check the route map for the best place (viewing from up above the Roman arches is one of the best places) A variety of vintage and classic cars are used to transport the drivers around the town along with top-end supercars and manufacturer's prototypes. Probably one of the few places you'll see such rare and exotic machinery being driven around public streets!

The Pit Walk session preceding the Le Mans 24 Hours race is a 'must do' for race fans and an opportunity to get up close and personal with the cars and the drivers. It traditionally occurs on the Friday afternoon and be aware it does get packed with fans and can sometimes be difficult to get to visit all the garages and get your programme signed.
