On Saturday, June 8th, starting at 3:30 PM, downtown Le Mans will be the stage for an exceptional event: the city centre procession. The nine brands present in the premier category will all run their Hypercars on a course of more than two kilometers, along with one LMP2 and seven LMGT3s.
The 2.1-kilometre loop from Quai Louis Blanc at the foot of the Roman wall on the river Sarthe, returning via the Tunnel Wilbur Wright, taking in rue Gambetta, Place de la République, Boulevard René Levasseur and Place des Jacobins is twice as long as last year’s route and will give more people a chance to admire several endurance racing stars!
