Sanctioned event

Scheduled and sanctioned by Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO).

Dates & details verified against: Official event site

Why go

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is motorsport's oldest endurance race, run since 1923 partly on public roads, and attending it is unlike any other sporting event: a camping city of record size, 350,105 in 2026, watches hypercars race through dusk, night, and dawn, and the through-the-night hours are the point, not the price. The current era is golden, with Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Ford, Genesis, McLaren, Peugeot, and Toyota all entered in the top class for 2027. The Automobile Club de l'Ouest has organized it from the beginning, and its ticket-and-camping system is how the week is done properly.

When it runs

Race week falls in mid-June.

What to expect

Race week falls in mid-June; the 2027 edition runs June 9-13. Book campsites and grandstands up to a year ahead. June nights get cold trackside; the sunrise at Mulsanne rewards it.

Getting there & around

TGV from Paris in under an hour or fly to Paris and connect. Accommodation in town sells out a year ahead; the camping ecosystem is the authentic option.
