For its inaugural edition, Le Mans Classic Legend, taking place from July 2 to 5, 2026 on the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans Circuit, is set to deliver a spectacular weekend both on and off the track. Co-organised by Peter Auto and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, this brand-new event will offer a contemporary celebration of endurance racing history through 5 grids featuring cars from the mid-1970s to the late 2010s. From iconic prototypes to legendary GT cars, spectators will witness on track the technical and aesthetic evolution of endurance racing over the past 50 years on the full Le Mans circuit.

<p>Beyond the on-track demonstrations and racing grids, <strong>Le Mans Classic Legend</strong> will offer a true festive and cultural experience designed for all audiences. Concerts, exhibitions, open-air cinema screenings and retro entertainment will bring the village to life throughout the weekend, transforming the event into a genuine vintage festival.</p>

<h2>LIVE MUSIC &amp; ENTERTAINMENT</h2>

<p>Following the success of the 2025 edition, <strong>two nights of concerts</strong> are once again on the program, featuring new headliners: <strong>Contrecoeur</strong>, <strong>Purple Disco Machine</strong>, and <strong>&Eacute;tienne de Cr&eacute;cy </strong>on Friday night, followed by <strong>Bacchus</strong>, <strong>Superbus</strong>, and <strong>Bon Entendeur</strong> on Saturday night. A lineup designed to keep the audience dancing and singing until the wee hours of the morning.</p>

<p>Visitors will be immersed in a musical atmosphere ranging from the great classics of the &rsquo;80s and &rsquo;90s to the best hits of the 2010s. <strong>The Republican Guard&rsquo;s</strong> marching band will also be back and will perform, throughout the weekend, musical arrangements specially created for the event.</p>

<h2>SHOWS, ENTERTAINMENT &amp; RETRO ATMOSPHERE</h2>

<p>Visitors will be able to enjoy performances by <strong>Street Smile</strong>, a troupe that blends interactive breakdancing, <strong>Double Dutch, and freestyle BMX demonstrations</strong> through several shows held throughout the weekend across the circuit. An urban, festive energy will transport the audience back to the golden age of street culture. Breakdancing workshops will be offered to the public throughout the weekend.</p>

<p>Thrill-seekers will find <strong>Bike Art</strong> and its impressive trials and freestyle BMX shows. Up to three performances a day will liven up the weekend, accompanied by introductory sessions allowing the public to discover these spectacular disciplines up close with the riders.</p>

<p>Younger visitors will enjoy a dedicated play area featuring face painting, tattoos, fun activities, a magician, and photo booths. <strong>All activities will be free and open to everyone</strong> throughout the weekend, with the exception of the claw machine at the carnival.</p>

<p>A first edition also means plenty of new features, and this one is packed with them to <strong>satisfy the whole family</strong>. A large carnival will take place at the heart of the event with rides, bumper cars, a coconut shy, shooting galleries, and cotton candy to transport visitors back to the memories of the great popular festivals of yesteryear. <strong>A large vintage arcade area</strong> will also feature pinball machines, arcade games, pool tables, air hockey, and retro game consoles.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another major new feature this year: the <strong>Supercars Run</strong>, which will give enthusiasts the opportunity to admire several collector&rsquo;s supercars and hypercars on the track on Saturday morning, as they take on the grand loop of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Circuit.</p>

<p>To round out this festive atmosphere, <strong>Le Mans Classic Legend will also celebrate the 7th Art</strong> with an open-air cinema on Friday and Saturday. Three screenings per day will allow visitors to rediscover cult films from the &rsquo;80s and &rsquo;90s in a friendly atmosphere.</p>

<h2>THE MAZDA 787B RETURNS TO THE GRAND CIRCUIT</h2>

<p>The legendary <strong>Mazda 787B</strong> will take center stage during a special demonstration on the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit. A true icon of endurance racing and the only Japanese car to win the <strong>24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991</strong>, the 787B will offer the public a rare opportunity to see one of the most iconic cars in the history back in action. The distinctive sound of its rotary engine will once again echo through the Sarthe for a moment filled with emotion and nostalgia.</p>

AVA_2324A_AV6_0562.jpg

<h2>LITTLE BIG MANS: YOUNG DRIVERS TAKE CENTER STAGE</h2>

<p>Because passion starts at an early age, young motorsport enthusiasts taking part in Little Big Mans will also have their own chance to shine on track.</p>

<p>Open to children aged 7 to 12, Little Big Mans is a parade featuring miniature replicas powered by electric or combustion engines inspired by legendary endurance racing cars.</p>

<p>See you on Saturday, July 4 at 1:45 PM for the start of the parade!</p>

<h2>GORDON MURRAY IN THE SPOTLIGHT</h2>

<p>Another highlight of the weekend will be the exceptional presence of <strong>Gordon Murray</strong>, visionary engineer and iconic figure in automotive history. To celebrate the occasion, an exclusive parade featuring several legendary Gordon Murray creations will take place on the 24 Hours of le Mans Circuit. Spectators will notably be able to admire the legendary <strong>McLaren F1, winner of the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans in its GTR version</strong>, alongside the <strong>T.50</strong>, <strong>T.50s Niki Lauda</strong>, and <strong>T.33</strong> models from Gordon Murray Automotive.</p>

<p>Two iconic Formula 1 single-seaters will also join the celebration: the <strong>Brabham BT42</strong> and the legendary <strong>McLaren MP4/5B</strong>, driven by Ayrton Senna during his second Formula 1 World Championship title in 1990. Throughout the weekend, the vehicles taking part in this exclusive parade will be displayed in the heart of the village, offering visitors a unique immersion into Gordon Murray&rsquo;s world.</p>

Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA has had to replace one of its drivers less than a month before the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans, the third round of the 2026 FIA WEC season. Louis Delétraz has been drafted into the #12 Cadillac V-Series.R line-up.

<p>In the run-up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, even the best-laid plans can go awry. <strong>Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA</strong> driver <strong>Alex Lynn</strong> has been forced to postpone surgery originally scheduled earlier in the season and must now observe a period of convalescence instead of hurtling around the <em>Circuit des 24 Heures</em> in June. Missing out on the French endurance classic is obviously a painful experience for the British racer who knows that the 24 Hours of Le Mans is not just any old race. It can mark an entire career.</p>

<p>His wise words however masked a feeling of frustration that only endurance drivers learn to tame with time.&nbsp;<em><strong> &ldquo;Getting this procedure completed and fully recovering has to be the priority,&rdquo; </strong></em>Lynn said. <em><strong>&ldquo;The timing hasn&rsquo;t worked out as originally planned due to scheduling difficulties around the surgery, but we now have a clear path forward. I&rsquo;ll be supporting the team from home and I wish Louis, the #12 crew and everyone at Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA the very best for Le Mans.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>

<h2>Louis Del&eacute;traz, the supersub</h2>

<p>Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA&rsquo;s call to&nbsp;<strong>Louis Del&eacute;traz</strong> is anything but an improvised gamble. The Swiss racer belongs to a generation of drivers capable of switching between championships with surprising ease, like a musician swapping instruments without losing rhythm.</p>

<p><strong>European Le Mans Series</strong> (ELMS) champion Del&eacute;traz knows all about the emotion of a Le Mans win, having triumphed in the <strong>LMP2 Pro-Am</strong> class with <strong>AO by TF</strong>, and is well aware that pure speed alone is rarely enough for victory. Here, it is all about survival, mastering the traffic, understanding the car&rsquo;s silences and keeping your cool when the circuit seems to breathe quicker than you.</p>

<p>Given that Del&eacute;traz competed in the <strong>TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps</strong> at the wheel of the American hypercar (ninth overall), his rapid integration appears all the more natural. He also took part in the team&rsquo;s preparations, including testing at Silverstone.</p>

<p><em><strong>&ldquo;Our priority is ensuring Alex can complete his surgery, make a full recovery and return to full fitness as soon as possible,&rdquo;</strong></em> declared Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA director and co-founder <strong>Sam Hignett</strong>. <em><strong>&ldquo;Naturally, it&rsquo;s disappointing that he won&rsquo;t be with us for Le Mans, but we fully support him in taking the time needed to complete his surgery and rehabilitation properly. We&rsquo;re pleased to have Louis stepping into the car for the test and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He already knows the team well and has been part of our preparations, so we&rsquo;re confident he&rsquo;ll do a great job alongside the rest of the crew.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>

<p>As the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans edges ever closer, this announcement serves as a reminder of a simple truth of endurance. Behind all the hypercars and complex tactics, it is still all about women and men who may stumble and fall, make a comeback, or occasionally stand in for another&hellip; but who all share the same objective when heading towards the Mulsanne Straight: <strong>writing, in their own words, a fragment of endurance history</strong>.</p>

Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA shuffles pack ahead of 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans

After Rexy, Roxy and Spike, AO Racing has conjured up a new character for the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans (10-14 June 2026). Rockie the Pegasus, a flamboyant winged horse, is set to defend the team’s LMP2 Pro/Am title in this year’s French endurance classic.

<p>Some cars are built simply to win. Others also tell a story. For several years now, <strong>AO Racing</strong> has transformed each of its appearances into a genuine visual and emotional adventure. The American team will be back for the <strong>94th 24 Hours of Le Mans</strong> with a new heroine: Rockie, a Pegasus with a look of steely determination, will adorn the <strong>#99 Oreca 07-Gibson</strong> entered in the LMP2 Pro/Am class.<strong> PJ Hyett, Dane Cameron and James Allen</strong> will share driving duties.</p>

<p>Some projects leave an indelible mark on the race paddocks and grandstands because they dare to be different. <strong>Rexy </strong>brought out the inner child within every&nbsp;endurance fan. <strong>Spike </strong>wrote the next chapter of the story and brought a smile to every face. But, as Le Mans always demands a little bit more, <strong>AO Racing </strong>has now opted to take flight.</p>

<h2>A Pegasus to defend the team&rsquo;s LMP2 Pro/Am title</h2>

<p>Rockie didn&rsquo;t just happen by chance. Her wings carry the heritage of a success that is still fresh in every onlooker&rsquo;s memory: AO by TF&rsquo;s LMP2 Pro/Am win at the <strong>2025 24 Hours of Le Mans</strong>. A race managed with the precision of a clockmaker and the raw energy of a group that refused to ease its grip in the dark of night.</p>

<p>The outfit&rsquo;s return to the Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans one year later is something of a homecoming. A home where nothing is ever taken for granted, however. <strong>At Le Mans, all the dials are reset to zero every year</strong>. Past achievements cannot be taken away but the track remembers no-one.</p>

<p>Rockie, the outcome of a collaborative effort between AO Racing and Mobil 1, was born with this fact in mind. With her great wings outstretched, her flamboyant red mane floating in the wind and a gaze that flirts with the untamed, Rockie the Pegasus is ready to spring out of the pits and fly down the <strong>Mulsanne Straight</strong>. An outline that is as much an invitation to travel as it is a symbol of speed.</p>

30-JC8_1016_Edit-HiRes-JC-V1 copy.jpg

<h2>The 24 Hours of Le Mans &ndash; a playground of emotions</h2>

<p>What makes the world of AO Racing so special is not only its graphic identity. It&rsquo;s the way in which it creates a bond. In a discipline where technology plays a key role, the American outfit brings the human element to the fore. The characters become travelling companions. <strong>Fans follow their adventures as they would their favourite TV series</strong>.</p>

<p>And at Le Mans, this connection takes on another dimension as the public doesn&rsquo;t just come to watch a race. They come for an ethereal experience lasting several days. To sleep by the racetrack. To hear engines roaring into the night. To make friends with strangers from an adjacent campsite pitch during a stint beneath the stars. Rockie fits in seamlessly with this culture: <strong>a cocktail of full-blooded racing and a festival spirit</strong>.</p>

<p>AO by TF will take on <strong>the toughest LMP2 grid in international endurance </strong>with seasoned crews, finely tuned strategies and twenty-four hours capable of swallowing everything up in a matter of minutes. But the team also knows that at Le Mans, the energy transmitted by the crowds amassed around the circuit can sometimes act as a second engine.</p>

<p>Fans will once again be able to follow the event as it happens through the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@aoracingusa" target="_blank"><u><strong>AO Racing YouTube channel</strong></u></a>, featuring an onboard stream, live team chat and exciting giveaways throughout the race.</p>

<p>Rockie has yet to fly her first mile. And yet she has already begun to do what the greatest Le Mans stories have always achieved: create expectation, <strong>stimulate the imagination</strong> and make a date with an entire trackside community.</p>

<p>Produced&nbsp;in collaboration with&nbsp;mk2, creator of the famous Cin&eacute;ma Paradiso festival, this giant&nbsp;drive-in will&nbsp;take&nbsp;up residence at the&nbsp;legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit for three days of excitement.</p>

<p>Certain&nbsp;screenings will take on an even more special element.

<p><strong>Peugeot Global Director of Communications Val&eacute;rie Candeiller:</strong><em>  Drive‑In Paradiso by Peugeot looks to create a fully immersive cultural experience&nbsp;worthy of the legacy&nbsp;of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. By bringing together cinema and the automobile in a setting steeped in history, we demonstrate Peugeot&rsquo;s ability to foster a dialogue between sport, culture&nbsp;and emotion, and to offer the public moments of shared experience that are as unexpected as they are unforgettable</em>.</p>

A drive-in cinema to be featured at the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans

From Scrutineering to the chequered flag, the M24 – Motorsport Museum immerses visitors in a magical experience at the heart of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, including F1 legends and era-defining innovations that have shaped racing history.

<h2>Committed to&nbsp;the cutting edge&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Upon entering the M24 &ndash; Motorsport Museum, visitors are taken on an&nbsp;authentic, &quot;24-hour&quot;&nbsp;adventure!</p>

<p>First on the agenda is&nbsp;Scrutineering, the legendary curtain-raiser to the main event&nbsp;the following weekend. These technical and administrative checks have&nbsp;traditionally been open to the public in the Le Mans city&nbsp;centre for&nbsp;fans to&nbsp;feel even closer to the race.</p>

<p>The second exhibition room is dedicated to the start. At precisely 16:00, competitors take off for a full 24 hours of intense racing. Visitors get to&nbsp;feel the critical instant adrenaline courses&nbsp;through the veins of drivers from every era. The start of the race is an extraordinary&nbsp;spectacle, as stunning as it is nerve-wracking, whether executed as a Le Mans-style start&nbsp;or a rolling one. This room aims to convey the full power of that very moment.</p>

<p>Note: Don&#39;t miss the&nbsp;exhibition dedicated to the Boll&eacute;e family.</p>

<p>Then, darkness begins to fall, ushering in a truly unique&nbsp;stretch of the race that sees drivers begin to feel&nbsp;the weight of fatigue after&nbsp;the opening hours.</p>

<p>Around the circuit, it&#39;s time for fans to grab a bite and&nbsp;take in&nbsp;the&nbsp;entertainment and festivities. Since its inception in&nbsp;1923, drivers and spectators alike are mesmerized by the allure of nighttime at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The M24 &ndash; Motorsport Museum offers the opportunity to experience all the emotions inherent in&nbsp;this unforgettable atmosphere, thanks to an extensive technological set-up and a masterful interplay of light and darkness.</p>

<h2>a glimpse into the&nbsp;M24 workshop</h2>

<p>Certain mechanics are in their element at night when competitors typically encounter their first troubles. As such, the next exhibition room is dedicated to the behind-the-scenes of&nbsp;pit lane&nbsp;and technologies in use. Thanks to the M24 workshop, visitors can appreciate and&nbsp;understand&nbsp;this all-important dimension of endurance racing. The workshop is also an opportunity to look back at&nbsp;major innovations tested at the always&nbsp;forward-thinking 24 Hours.</p>

<p>Next, the waving of the chequered flag and&nbsp;podium celebrations on Sunday at 16:00. The final room in this section of the museum is dedicated to making it over that line, and the mere&nbsp;seconds it has taken&nbsp;to&nbsp;change&nbsp;the destiny of thousands of competitors since 1923.</p>

<p>All of the above&nbsp;is accompanied by an extensive array of other features, like&nbsp;an interactive circuit and a materials library to&nbsp;allow visitors&nbsp;to touch replicas of steering wheels,&nbsp;gloves&nbsp;and many other items that are typically inaccessible.</p>

<h2>prime spot for&nbsp;Formula 1</h2>

<p>The remainder of the visit opens into the new addition,&nbsp;a must-see exhibit at&nbsp;the M24&nbsp;&mdash; Motorport Museum.&nbsp;Bathed in natural light, this space focuses on the multifaceted history of motorsport with the IndyCar and Can-Am championships&nbsp;taking&nbsp;center stage to represent the U.S.</p>

<p>Lastly, the spotlight transitions to Formula 1. A jaw-dropping&nbsp;variety of models, dating from the 1950s to present day, fill&nbsp;this immense 2,300 m&sup2; hall. The first F1 drivers&#39; championship dates back to 1950 and has since crowned countless racing giants. From the very beginning, the discipline&nbsp;has given a home to&nbsp;ingenious minds capable of creating ever-faster single-seaters, and only the top&nbsp;expert&nbsp;teams have prevailed, such as&nbsp;Ferrari, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz and&nbsp;Williams.</p>

<p>Legends&nbsp;have&nbsp;made their mark on&nbsp;this championship, and many among&nbsp;them &mdash; Fernando Alonso, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, and Phil Hill for example &mdash; have taken the start in the 24 Hours of Le Mans as well. This is the reason Formula 1 holds a prominent position at the very heart of the M24 &mdash; Motorsport Museum.</p>

M24 – Motorsport Museum: must-see collections and so much more

The Automobile Club de l’Ouest is pleased to announce that Sir Mark Cavendish, who holds the record for the most Tour de France stages won (35), will wave the start of the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans, at 16:00 on Saturday 13 June.

<p>Emblematic figure of world sport, <strong>Sir Mark Cavendish rewrote cycling history</strong> as he put his name to one Tour de France stage after another &ndash;&shy; totalling 35 in all. Awarded Knight of the British Empire in 2024, the Manx Missile is particularly fond of France, having won many a sprint on its roads and inspired a generation of cyclists. The Tour de France and the 24 Hours of Le Mans have much in common. Both are monuments of world sport, both French, both household names all around the globe.</p>

<p>As official starter, Cavendish joins a list of great sportsmen who have paid the event the same honour. As a formidable competitor, he will be in excellent company on the starting grid this June.</p>

<h2>Sir Mark Cavendish</h2>

<p><em><strong>&quot;France and me go back a long way. The Tour taught me everything I know about pain, glory, and pushing your limits. Some competitions transcend their discipline; they belong to all sports fans everywhere. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of them. It&rsquo;s a temple of sport and I&rsquo;m looking forward to experiencing the start from the inside.&quot;</strong></em></p>

<h2>Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l&rsquo;Ouest</h2>

<p><em><strong>&quot;Sir Mark Cavendish is an outstanding sportsman and a fitting starter for our 94th 24-hour race. He stands for all that this event holds dear: dazzling performance and shared passion.&quot;</strong></em></p>

World-renowned cyclist Sir Mark Cavendish to wave the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans

To mark the 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, in collaboration with Kappa, the event’s Official Outfitter, is unveiling the new official collection dedicated to the world’s greatest endurance race.

<p>Designed to extend the 24 Hours of Le Mans experience beyond the racetrack, this collection celebrates the legacy of motorsports, the identity of the major motorsport nations, and the unique world of endurance racing. It is organized around three complementary themes:&nbsp;<strong>TEAM KIT, FANWEAR, and HERITAGE</strong>.</p>

<h2>TEAM KIT &ndash; The official team gear</h2>

<p>Building on the success of previous editions, the TEAM KIT reflects the operational needs of the teams competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.</p>

<p>Developed to meet the demands of the track, this line combines functionality, comfort, and understated style in a design true to Kappa&rsquo;s technical DNA. A collection designed to support race participants in the most demanding conditions.</p>

<h2>FANWEAR &ndash; The spirit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the great nations of motorsport</h2>

<p>The FANWEAR collection draws inspiration from racing culture and the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans through a reinterpretation of motorsport&rsquo;s iconic symbols.</p>

<p>Available in green, red, and blue, several styles pay homage to the historic colors of the great motorsport nations: the United Kingdom, Italy, and France. The pieces proudly bear the LE MANS logo and reflect enthusiasts&rsquo; passion for the world of endurance racing.</p>

<p>Through the EROI project (&ldquo;heroes&rdquo; in Italian), Kappa also highlights the concepts of belonging, collective passion, and sporting identity, in the spirit of the great communities that have kept the 24 Hours of Le Mans alive for over a century.</p>

<p>The FANWEAR collection also includes a more lifestyle-oriented capsule line, as well as two signature jerseys:</p>

<ul>
	<li>A jersey inspired by the iconic yellow and blue speed bumps of the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit;</li>
	<li>A tone-on-tone black jersey featuring a checkered pattern, a direct nod to the historic codes of motorsport.</li>
</ul>

<h2>HERITAGE &ndash; An elegant and timeless vision of endurance racing</h2>

<p>With the HERITAGE line, the ACO and Kappa offer a more premium take on the world of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.</p>

<p>Inspired by Italian elegance, this range combines tailored cuts, high-quality materials, and refined details. Polos, jackets, and accessories make up a wardrobe designed to extend the event experience in a style that is both modern and timeless.</p>

<h2>A Presence at the Heart of the Event</h2>

<p>The launch of this collection is accompanied by an immersive photo and video campaign highlighting the intensity, aesthetics, and culture of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.</p>

<p>As part of its partnership with the 24 Hous of Le Mans, Kappa will also be present at the heart of the race village with an official boutique dedicated to this collection.</p>

<h2>Availability</h2>

<p>The official 24 Hours of Le Mans x Kappa collection is <a href="https://www.kappa.fr/pages/24-heures-du-mans" target="_blank"><u><strong>available today on the Kappa website</strong></u></a> and will be available at the Kappa boutique in the 24 Hours of Le Mans village from June 6 to 14, 2026.
