24 Hours of Le Mans 2017
Friday 9th June 2017
On the weekend of 17-18th June, the World’s oldest annual endurance race takes place near the town of Le Mans at the Circuit de la Sarthe. The race has been taking place since 1923 and the circuit has a mixture of closed public roads and a specialist racing circuit, in which racing teams have to balance speed with the cars' ability to race for 24 hours in a bid to make it to the chequered flag.
2017 will see a record number of SEF Ambassadors taking part in the great race and also in the support programme.
