It is the event of the year and no one should miss it: this is the week of the 24h of Le Mans, which has reached the Centenary edition in 2023.
The protagonists of the FIA World Endurance Championship are back in action after the 6h of Spa-Francorchamps for what will be the fourth round of the season, a challenge that everyone is looking forward to and which will not fail to give emotions and surprises.
The big news is certainly the return to the use of tire pre-heating systems, which on the Circuit de la Sarthe will put drivers and teams in the position to be able to push right away and not have to manage absurd situations as already seen in the previous events of the series .
On the track there will be 62 cars divided as always into the Hypercar, LMP2 and LMGTE AM Classes, in a grid that is fuller than usual thanks to the invitations distributed by the organiser, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, which also includes Chevrolet Hendrick Motorsport/Garage 56 Camaro ZL1 NASCAR as ‘Innovative Car’.
