A movie-style poster and an expectant audience

Every year, the new&nbsp;24 Hours of Le Mans&nbsp;poster marks the beginning of another chapter in the history of the great endurance race. The&nbsp;2026 artwork&nbsp;plays on the heroic aspect of the sporting endeavour, embodied by the figure of the driver. 
 
Inspired by the design of a cult movie visual, the poster depicts the tension, the beauty and the intensity of the one-of-a-kind race.

<h2>A classic film poster</h2>

Drawing on the aesthetics of classic film promotional materials,&nbsp;the 2026 poster portrays the driver in the lead role&nbsp;&ndash; alone, in a moment of stillness before the commotion. The stance spells mastery, concentration and solitude &ndash; the solitude of being alone at the wheel. 
 
In a visual representation of the phases of the round-the-clock race, this year&rsquo;s 24 Hours of Le Mans poster comes in three versions:&nbsp;day, sunset and night. Contrasting light, expert composition and shifting atmospheres translate the tension, the beauty and the emotion that make the 24 Hours of Le Mans such an exceptional event.

Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l&#39;Ouest :&nbsp;&ldquo;The 24 Hours of Le Mans poster is part of our shared heritage. 
Every year, it portrays an aspect of the race, encapsulating the magnitude of passion, prowess and pride. This year&rsquo;s movie-style poster recalls our storied past while celebrating the modernity of our discipline.&quot;

Ferrari is celebrating its third consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans victory with a totally innovative creation – the F76. Paying tribute to the Prancing Horse’s first win in the French endurance classic in 1949, this digital hypercar exemplifies tradition, futuristic design and the spirit of Le Mans.

This year, Ferrari has left its mark on automotive history in a new way. Following in the tracks of the third 24 Hours of Le Mans triumph in a row for the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/the-ferrari-499p-hypercar-under-the-microscope-making-of-a-le-mans-icon-59719" target="_blank">499P</a>, the Maranello-based manufacturer has revealed the Ferrari F76 &ndash; the very first hypercar designed exclusively for the digital world in the form of an NFT. The F76 name is a nod to Ferrari&rsquo;s first Le Mans win sealed 76 years ago by Luigi Chinetti and Lord Selsdon at the wheel of the iconic&nbsp;<a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/24-hours-of-le-mans-ferraris-debut-with-the-166-mm-56964" target="_blank">166 MM</a> Barchetta.

The F76 celebrates Ferrari&rsquo;s glorious past &ndash; and opens up a new era. The 100% virtual project is created for clients of the exclusive Hyperclub programme, an initiative that allows collectors to experience the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans alongside the official team.

See the Ferrari F76 in the video below.

The 2026 Green Ticket programme is another step in the effort to become a low-carbon event. Introduced in 2022 to encourage spectators to choose ecological transport to attend the race, the Green Ticket programme has evolved to include an on-site contest, the Impact Challenge. The new version invites fans to actively share the event’s commitments.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is on the way to becoming a low-impact event. Building on the successful Green Ticket introduced in 2022, the Automobile Club de l&rsquo;Ouest (ACO) is furthering its commitment with the 2026 Green Ticket Programme. Under the new system, Green Ticket holders are active contributors to the event&rsquo;s sustainability commitments.

The programme is a joint undertaking involving spectators and organisers.

<ul>
	<li>
	Green Ticket holders elect to use soft transport to travel to the circuit: EV or hybrid car, carpool, train, bicycle, tramway or on foot.
	</li>
	<li>
	In return, they earn points in the 24 Hours of Le Mans IMPACT CHALLENGE that rewards eco-responsible behaviour.
	</li>
	<li>
	The ACO pledges to put 5% of Green Ticket proceeds towards reducing the race&rsquo;s carbon footprint.
	</li>
</ul>

<h2>The 2025 Impact Challenge hit the spot</h2>

The new programme comes in the wake of the <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/the-impact-challenge-a-massive-success-at-this-years-24-hours-of-le-mans-59859" target="_blank">2025 IMPACT CHALLENGE</a>&nbsp;introduced this June and included in the 24H EXPERIENCE mobile app. An interactive serious game, the challenge urges spectators to accomplish 170 missions related to sustainability, responsibility and commitment. Players earn points to enter a prize draw at the race.

The figures speak for themselves: more than 8,000 players, 205,000 QR codes scanned and 16 million points awarded. As a result, the ACO donated EUR 12,000 to the children&rsquo;s heart charity M&eacute;c&eacute;nat Chirurgie Cardiaque, demonstrating that the love of motorsport extends way beyond the track.

The 2026 Green Ticket underlines the commitment of the world&rsquo;s greatest endurance race to lead the way in sustainable innovation. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, everyone plays a part in building a greener future.
