THE LE MANS 24 HOURS

The greatest race in the world…and in space! In 2008, the start will be given at 15:00 on the track (by three famous astronauts) and from the international orbital station (ISS) in liaison on the circuit’s giant screens. Already the 76th Le Mans 24 Hours is well on the way to beating the 2007 record crowd (250 952 spectators!). From a sporting point of view everything is in place for 2 rounds of the clock full of suspense: adjustment of the equivalence between diesel and petrol engines, Peugeot’s thirst for revenge over Audi, the reaffirmed ambition of the other petrol-engined prototypes, non-stop battles in GT, etc, and a few other surprises!
