24 Heures du Mans

Friday, June 12, the Drivers' Parade

This day is pretty subdued at the circuit itself, but is quite bustling nearby. Whether you're a Porsche, Peugeot or even an MG fan, there is something for everyone!

To start the day off right, first head to the Mulsanne corner where attractions will be happening all day and will pay tribute to Peugeot. You will see vintage cars, exhibits…The day will close with a concours d’élégance which will take place at the Esplanade de la Mairie with a parade of about 30 driver line-ups representing the history of the automobile.

A big rendez-vous of the day on Friday is the Classic British Welcome at Saint Saturnin starting at 9:00 a.m. until the start of the cars for the Drivers' Parade. This event brings together countless cars and is truly an extraordinary experience for motorsports fans. This year tribute will be paid to MG cars.

But the absolute must-see event of the day is the Drivers' Parade which will take place as it does every year in downtown Le Mans. This parade is a great opportunity to see file by all the participating driver line-ups of this 83rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and also some Harley Davidsons and cars you won't see anywhere else! If you are lucky, it's also the last chance you have to get an autograph or a photo of your favourite driver and all that in a very celebratory atmosphere!

After the parade, if you like Porsches, head for Téloché where special tribute will be paid to the marque starting at 4:00 p.m. with exhibits and cars on display…

Lastly, a new big attraction for 2015 at the circuit starting at 6:00 p.m., a whole series of concerts for you to enjoy, with no less than five bands and a DJ throughout the evening.

The last day before the race, Friday, June 12th will be full of surprises and emotions for all motorsports and 24 Hours of Le Mans fans.
