Timetable for the 90th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans: practice sessions, qualifying sessions, hyperpole and races at the Circuit de la Sarthe
The 24 Hours of Le Mans will also follow the new concept introduced in 2020 in 2022. This means that there will only be one qualifying session and instead numerous free practice sessions, while pole position will be contested in the hyperpole on Thursday evening
The supporting programme will again consist of the well-known “Road to Le Mans” race of the Le Mans Cup (LMC) for LMP3 and GT3 cars. In addition, the Porsche Sprint Challenge France and, for the first time, the Ligier European Series will race at the Circuit de la Sarthe. The Fun Cup is no longer there.
This also means that there will be even less racing on Friday than usual. On the other hand, the circuit, including the pit lane, will be open to the spectators in the afternoon. Traditionally, the main event does not run on Fridays, but there is the parade in the heart of Le Mans.
