Though a series of chicanes now holds cars back, it’s still one of the fastest stretches of track anywhere in the world. MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi will compete in a pair of Michelin Le Mans Cup races on the support bill for this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours. The marque feature of the nearly 8.5-mile Circuit de la Sarthe is the 3.7-mile Mulsanne Straight, where cars regularly top 200 mph. It’s where Bentley and Porsche would prove their mettle, Ford would crush Ferrari to settle a beef, and, in 1955, fast cars and an even faster track claim 80 lives in the worst crash in motorsports history. 24 cars: 1: Richard Mille Racing : Oreca 07-Gibson: Sophia.

What started in 1923 as a race for small European manufacturers and aristocrat drivers evolved into a proving ground for the world’s biggest carmakers. Check out the full entry list for the 89th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours, including all the confirmed drivers, teams and cars. The annual race-happening this weekend-offers the chance to prove who has not just the best technology, but the ability to harness it for a full 24 hours without disaster, at a place where disaster tends to reign supreme.

It will be the 91st running of the 24-hour.

2021 marks the debut of a new top class at Le Mans for the first time in nearly 20 years arguably 30. The 91st 24 Hours of Le Mans (French: 91e 24 Heures du Mans) or the Centenary 24 Hours of Le Mans (French: Centenaire des 24 Heures du Mans) is an automobile endurance event that is scheduled to take place on 1011 June 2023 at the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France. The Monaco Grand Prix may be the car world’s glitziest race, the Indy 500 its most historic, but the 24 Hours of Le Mans wins the award for most masochistic-and therefore the most important to manufacturers and fans alike. Only 11 months have passed since the last 24 Hours of Le Mans but, thanks to yet more calendar disruption, the world’s most famous 24-hour race is back and there’s some major changes.
