24h Le Mans
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’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’s sustainability commitments.
The programme is a joint undertaking involving spectators and organisers.
Green Ticket holders elect to use soft transport to travel to the circuit: EV or hybrid car, carpool, train, bicycle, tramway or on foot.
In return, they earn points in the 24 Hours of Le Mans IMPACT CHALLENGE that rewards eco-responsible behaviour.
The ACO pledges to put 5% of Green Ticket proceeds towards reducing the race’s carbon footprint.
The new programme comes in the wake of the 2025 IMPACT CHALLENGE 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’s heart charity Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque, demonstrating that the love of motorsport extends way beyond the track.
The 2026 Green Ticket underlines the commitment of the world’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.
