It is an understatement to say that the participants and spectators are impatient at the idea of finding the Sarthe event.
Because of the coronavirus, the biennial event has not taken place since 2018. It is starting to get long.
Three weeks after the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which rewarded Toyota for the fifth consecutive time, the Le Mans circuit is therefore preparing to experience record crowds again.
More than 200,000 spectators are expected for the tenth edition of Le Mans Classic, which began in 2002 on the initiative of Patrick Peter and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest.

The one you really shouldn't miss.
On the track, it's unheard of, the six race grids will be divided up around 450 vehicles.
A rule of thumb: only models are eligible that competed on the 13.6 km of a pitiless track, between 1923 and 1981. For the sake of sporting fairness and consistency, the vehicles are divided into six trays according to their age.

It will get warmer!
A victory at Le Mans is worth gold for all the crews from all over the world.

From Saturday, 4:35 p.m., the history of Le Mans will unfold at a frantic pace.
The opportunity to remember that major brands and craftsmen have all dreamed one day of putting their name on the list of winners of the greatest endurance event in the world.
Implicitly, this show allows us to revisit the automobile adventure during the 20th century and its evolution.
A spectacle as sound as it is visual.
Between a
8-cylinder in-line from a Bugatti from the 1920s, an XK 6-cylinder from a Jaguar from the 1950s, a Ferrari 12-cylinder from the sixties and a Ford Cosworth V8 from the 1970s, it's a whole musical repertoire that will follow.
Before launching the first grid, the track will see nearly 80 children under 12 compete at the wheel of miniature replicas of racing cars but also the prototypes which animated the great hours of Group C in the 1980s, the legends of endurance and challenge cars Jaguarthen a round of Porsche.
The show will also take place within the confines of the circuit with the presence of numerous brand clubs.
In this space, nearly 8,500 vehicles will be exhibited, representing an exhaustive panorama of several decades of production.
Le Mans Classic is still the auction organized by Artcurial on Saturday July 2 at 1.30 p.m. and offering a selection of 137 vehicles including one of the Renault F1s that Alain Prost drove during the 1983 season and a Maserati A6GCS delivered new in France in 1953.
