Historic racing at Circuit de la Sarthe

The Classique du Mans 24h is a four-day spectacular that pays tribute to the classic racing cars that made history throughout the years of the le Mans 24h endurance race.

​

Held in alternate years, the 2025 event follows on from the centenary of the main le Mans 24h Endurance Race which was commemorated in 2024.

​

The 24h Classique takes place over four days of car carnival in early July. It comprises a series of races, concours events, exhibitions, parades and displays of world-renowned car collections all focused on the evolution of this astonishing, racing-car event, held almost every year since its inception in 1924. There promises to be over 9000 cars on show as examples of 80 marques with over 200 car clubs represented.

​

Tickets have been reserved to attend the event on Friday 4th July, which is a day for parades, exhibitions; and on the circuit, for testing and qualifying for the races scheduled to take place on Saturday through to Sunday.

​

Accommodation in central le Mans - at the Auberge de Jeunesse - has been reserved for three nights 3rd, 4th, 5th July.

Travel has yet to be arranged but either the Audi TT or the KTM Duke will be the means of transport with ferry crossings either Portsmouth to Ouistreham (or Cherbourg), or Newhaven to Dieppe, depending on cost and availability, TBA.
