The 62 entrants in the 93rd 24 Hours will retake the track today for the first time since Sunday's Test Day for free practice and qualifying sessions to determine who's eligible for the Hyperpole. Competitors in the support races — Road to Le Mans, the Porsche Sprint Challenge and the Ford Mustang Challenge — will also take part in their first free practices.
From 14:00 to 17:00, then from 22:00 to midnight, the teams have five hours of track time to fine-tune settings before the big race. On the agenda are long stints, aerodynamic testing, and tyre and fuel consumption tests. Depending on how much time they have left, some drivers ramp up the pace to assess the potential of their car ahead of qualifying.
The format of the Hyperpole is slightly different this year, now spread across two days. The LMP2 and LMGT3 categories will kick things off with 30 minutes of qualifying. The goal is to make it into the top 12 to be eligible for the Hyperpole. The Hypercars will follow with 15 spots up for grabs. The Hyperpole is set between 18:45 and 20:00.
Road to Le Mans is the flagship race of the Michelin Le Mans Cup. Created in 2016, this championship is reserved for LMP3s and GT3s, and represents the ACO's desire to establish benchmark events to help drivers advance in the discipline. Today, competitors will hit the track for two free practice sessions: the first from 11:15 to 12:15 and the second from 20:30 to 21:30.
As many as 71 cars will take the start in the Le Mans round of the Porsche Sprint Challenge, an FFSA national championship dedicated to amateur drivers. The circuit is host to the fourth of seven races on the 2025 calendar. You'll see Porsche 911s (from the 997 GT3 R to the very last 992 GT3 Cup), 981s and 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsports. Two free practices are on the programme, the first from 09:00 to 09:30 and the second from 12:45 to 13:15.
The LMGT3's "little sisters" are ready to battle it out in the Ford Mustang Challenge. All Ford Mustang Challenge participants and qualified Mustang Dark Horse R owners are invited to compete. Free Practice 1 is from 10:00 to 10:45 and Free Practice 2 is from 17:30 to 18:15.
Eddy de Pretto is back on the scene! Two years after his certified gold album À tous les bâtards, the singer released CRASH CŒUR.
Author, composer and performer, the artist has always had a clear vision, from the studio to the stage via the image. With this opus, he explores his influences, including R'n'B, and delves into some extremely raw lyrics.
The result is 12 ambitious and powerful tracks whose musical heritage will resonate with those who grew up at the dawn of the 2000s.
Proud of his many roles (he is also a director, artistic director and producer), de Pretto proves he is much more than a singer, but a multifaceted pop artist. He is currently touring throughout France.
