Two weeks before the start of the big race, the 60 competitors must take part in Test Day which includes several hours on the track, allowing them to get their bearings and scope out the opposition. Admission is free for General Enclosure ticket holders.
Nearly every competitor entered in the race must participate in these official testing sessions, with the sole exception of certain drivers whose names appear on a comprehensive list. All rookie drivers at the 24 Hours of Le Mans are obligated to take part and must complete at least 10 track laps on Test Day as well as submit to simulator training beforehand.
Test Day is comprised of two four-hour testing sessions that are timed, but the results have zero impact on a competitor's participation in the race. It's a great opportunity to take stock of one's opponents, though some choose not to show their hand quite so early!
Sunday 3 June from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit.
