Le Mans .........
Or particularly, the 24 hour race, has
been running since 1923, and at Lancashire and District Sevens (LADS) we've
been making the annual pilgrimage for many years.
The longest race in the world,
the Le Mans 24 hour has a history created by the greatest
manufacturers and drivers in motor sport. Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti,
Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Porsche, Matra, Renault, Mercedes-Benz,
BMW and now Audi have all added to this special historical event.
The 24 Hour experience can last a whole week!
Starting on Monday and Tuesday with scrutineering, then followed by practice on Wednesday
then
Thursday night. Friday is the drivers’ parade through the centre of Le Mans.
Finally
comes the weekend and the race, 4.00pm Saturday until 4.00pm Sunday. Whether you
eat, sleep, drink, spectate or otherwise, the race teams will continue giving
110% all through the
night - this is what makes Le Mans so special.
