🚗 Carpooling – Share the Ride, Share the Experience
Traffic will be heavy during the 24 Hours of Le Mans. To help ease congestion and make the journey more enjoyable for everyone, carpooling is highly recommended.
👉 By increasing the number of passengers per vehicle, you reduce traffic jams, lower your environmental impact, and start enjoying the race atmosphere right from the road!
🎟️ If you have a Green Ticket, carpooling is also part of the eco-friendly initiative — a great choice for the planet and your comfort.
Consider using platforms like BlaBlaCar to organize your trip with other fans. Together, everything is better!
By bicycle - A Different Way to Experience the Race!
How about coming to the 24 Hours... by bike? It's simple, convenient, and eco-friendly!
Secure bike parking areas are available near the North, Panorama, East, and Karting gates. And to ride worry-free, a mobile repair workshop will be on-site all week to help with any mechanical issues.
Choosing to cycle means avoiding traffic jams, enjoying the fresh air, and reaching the heart of the event in a different way. A new way to experience the 24 Hours!
By car from Paris, take the A11 motorway towards Le Mans.
Given the high turnout for the event, expect heavy traffic around the circuit. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the park-and-ride facilities located at the motorway exits. These parking areas offer frequent shuttle services that will take you directly to the heart of the event, bypassing traffic hassles.
Consider carpooling as a practical and eco-friendly option as well. It helps reduce the number of vehicles on the road and allows you to share travel costs. Carpooling platforms like BlaBlaCar can assist you in arranging your trip with other spectators.
Using these alternatives will make your arrival easier and contribute to a better experience for everyone.
