FIA WEC gears up for Le Mans showdown

The second week of June is almost always synonymous with one particular event, especially among motorsport fans: the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Saturday marks the 85th running of the famous race, with the first race held back in 1923.

Over a quarter of a million people will make their way to the Sarthe region in western France, and there is plenty of track action on offer to satisfy every taste. Here at WEC-Magazin, we have put together a schedule of all the on-track action so you don’t miss a thing – whether you’re in the tribunes or on your sofa at home.
