Since 2018, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest has launched a Hydrogen programme to decarbonise motor racing. A village dedicated to the Hydrogen competition, as well as to a wide range of existing forms of mobility (motorbike, car, boat, bus, but also rocket), will enable spectators to discover or perfect their knowledge of this new energy vector. Pierre Fillon, Chairman of the ACO and Vice-Chairman of MissionH24, will inaugurate this lively area of over 2,500 m2 on Wednesday 11 June at 11.30am. The village will be open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10am.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans manufacturers' village will feature the unmissable presence of manufacturers taking part in the race or future participants in the race.
With spectacular exhibitions, sales of souvenirs and collections, and a place to relax, this village is a real place of life not to be missed during your visit!

Road to Le Mans is the highlight of the 2025 Michelin Le Mans Cup. The championship is for LMP3 and GT3 cars. Introduced by the ACO in 2016, Road to Le Mans paves the way to the world’s greatest endurance race, providing drivers and teams with precious experience as they work their way through the feeder series. This race is the grand finale of the competition.

Today’s the day! Drivers and cars have one last 15-minute track session before the race. Now is the time for last-minute tweaks to account for the weather forecast.

Watch as the 62 teams line up on the pit straight, ready for the starting procedure. Drivers do their best to hide their pre-race jitters as fans gather to cheer on their favourites.

The official start ceremony is a highlight a few minutes before the race kicks off. Enjoy the spectacle from the grandstands or on our giant screens.

Start of the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans.

From 20:00 onwards, the opening act will be joined by the international group Kool & The Gang, who will be performing on the 24 Hours of Le Mans stage until 23:00.

Kool & The Gang is an American R&B band formed in 1969 and best known for cult hits Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness, and Open Sesame. The group has earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards and produced 31 gold and platinum albums. Kool & The Gang has performed continuously for the past 35 years, longer than any R&B group in history. Their catchy arrangements have influenced hip-hop and made them the most sampled band of all time.

Ronald Bell (AKA Khalis Bayyan ) and his brother, Robert "Kool" Bell, joined up with their Jersey City neighbourhood friends to create their own blend of jazz, soul and funk. Their 1973 album Wild & Peaceful, including the smash hit Jungle Boogie confirmed their planetary star status. Then came the eighties with popular classics like Celebration, Cherish, and Ladies' Night.

The gang released new material in 2020 and 2022 and continues to perform to packed venues around the world.

Tristan Casara, AKA The Avener, is no ordinary DJ. A piano player since the age of five, he is an accomplished musician and composer. His first album The Wanderings of the Avener, and the track Fade Out Lines, were hits in over ten countries. In 2020 he released Heaven, in collaboration with Rick Nowels and other cult musicians. The single Quando Quando was the sound of summer 2022, followed by clubbing track Alpaca in 2023. The Morning Sun accompanied the dawn of 2024 – announcing a project inspired by a variety of sounds and consolidating The Avener’s reputation for innovation. The Avener performed an exclusive “lockdown” set during the night of the Virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2020. This time, it’s for real on the Le Mans stage!

The 24 Hours of Le Mans Show promises yet another unforgettable display. This year’s theme 24h On Board will transport the spectators into the heart of the race for a 20-minute immersive experience. Meanwhile, fireworks and a thrilling drone and laser show will light up the night sky, providing a stunning backdrop for the action and endeavour on the racetrack.
