Le Mans Classic


Nowhere is there such a large gathering of classic cars and enthusiasts than at the Le Mans Classic. View package details and prices

The Le Mans Classic started in 2002, held on the grounds of the Le Mans 24-hour race using the full 24-hour Circuit de la Sarthe. Le Mans Classic is a biennial event and we look forward to seeing you in July 2025!

Individuals and car clubs from all over Europe are invited to take part in the 2025 Le Mans Classic by forming, on the infield, a huge display of classic machinery all on view to the admiring public.

The event starts on Thursday with the practice sessions for the Le Mans Classic 2025 beginning on Friday afternoon when each grid is on track for a daytime and a nighttime session, going on until the early hours. Saturday morning is given over to car clubs doing track laps and demonstrations before the serious business of the Le Mans Classic begins at the traditional time of 1600 hours. The first race for each grid begins ears of corn style, which is a wonderful sight. Each grid will race three times during the 24 hours, on the full Le Mans circuit and a driver change during each stint is obligatory.

Around the Le Mans track there’s also plenty going on, with ample food and drink available, stalls galore for browsing through the automobilia, exhibitions and car club displays. The paddocks are open to visit between racing and under the warm Summer sky the atmosphere is incredible.

 

Itinerary Options

3 OR 4 NIGHTS BY CAR 

Our Le Mans Classic 2025 packages are based on Dover to Calais crossings, departing on Thursday or Friday and returning on Monday. We can, if you prefer, reserve LeShuttle crossings from Folkestone to Calais or the longer cross-channel routes with Brittany Ferries. Alternative crossings and onboard accommodation will incur supplements and you will be advised of the full cost before you confirm your booking with us. The longer crossings, particularly the overnight sailings, are extremely popular and we recommend you book early to secure your space.

For our 2025 packages, we are delighted to return the inclusion of an exclusive Friday evening Gourmet dinner with trackside views in the heart of the Le Mans Classic paddock. We include a truly stunning three-course dinner prepared by a star chef with cocktails on the rooftop terrace overlooking the circuit. It is a beautiful way to begin what is a very special weekend.
