The event held near Le Mans in France is also known as the “Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency”. The point is, the car of every team participating in a race should make it through the 24-hour long race without any mechanical issues and cover more distance compared to other participants.
That’s why every team’s engineers and drivers need to find the best possible balance between their car’s durability and speed.

The relevant race rules state there should be three or more pilots replacing each other throughout 24 hours of the race.
Le Mans is, without a doubt, the most epic motorsport competition. You will never regret coming to France to see it with your own eyes!
