Get Ready for Le Mans Classic

HOME » Magazine » » » Get Ready for Le Mans Classic

Running every other year, Le Mans Classic is next scheduled for 3-6 July 2025 after a record edition in 2023 that celebrated the Centenary of the 24-hour race in front of a crowd of almost 235,000 visitors.  Created in 2002 by Peter Auto in association with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, Le Mans Classic is a retrospective of the Le Mans 24 Hours, with cars that ran at the Sarthe over the last century racing on the full circuit in relay teams grouped by age.  Entries will open at the end of October, so now is the time to get your winning teams together in anticipation. 

Over the years, it has gone from strength to strength and has become one of the biggest, if not the biggest gathering of classic cars on the planet, with nearly 700 racing cars on the track and over 8,500 collector cars.  Four days of festivities will allow enthusiasts and fans to travel back in time, not only thanks to the races, but also to the shows and entertainment that takes place on the huge campus throughout the weekend.
