Today, it attracts over 110,000 spectators, 490 competitors across six racing grids (from 1923 to 1981), and 8,500 cars representing 180 clubs and 60 brands, all gathering in Le Mans to celebrate the passion for motorsport. The selected models are those that participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1923 and 1981, with priority given to the cars that raced during that era. Competitors face off in two 45-minute races, one during the day and one at night. Many of the drivers participating in this 8th edition of Le Mans Classic have also taken part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. For some of them, this fantastic sporting and technical adventure has been crowned with success.
Between each change of grid, BMW offers rides in the new M3 and M4 series. Discovering the circuit and its legendary turns alongside an experienced driver is definitely enticing!

The roar of the engines sounds like a symphony. The smell of gasoline and the exhaust fumes are far removed from our daily ecological concerns. You are in the past, and it feels good.
Enthusiasts, brand clubs, and multi-brand clubs are the guardians of automotive historical heritage, and they are given special recognition at Le Mans Classic. Cars built before 1966 in impeccable condition, as well as a few more recent models, are admitted to the Clubs Area.
