Le Mans 24 Heures, June 13-14, 2009
The 2008 Le Mans 24 Heures saw a record crowd of 258,500 - the race is one of the most evocative and addictive endurance races in the world! The 2008 race was an epic with cliffhangers in each of Le Mans' four classes - two for prototypes and two for GTs. The much touted Audi v Peugeot challenge lived up to all the hype - the lead changed 25 times and the final margin was only 4 minutes and 31 seconds in favour of the Audi team.

It is not only a race for the die-hard motorsport fan but as much for the casual fan out to enjoy a hugely entertaining weekend. And the support for Le Mans is immense! One of the moments of the weekend is the long convoy of colourful British cars that weave their way down to Le Mans or the Friday atmosphere in Arnage village. There is also plenty of official action leading up to the race with the superb drivers' parade through the centre of Le Mans at 18:00. Then come the race, through sun and rain, through day and night.
