Le Mans Classic Legend – New chapter to begin 2-5 July 2026

As the curtain came down on Le Mans Classic 2025, all eyes turned immediately towards 2026. On the strength of the huge popular success of this year’s meeting that attracted over 238,000 people to the Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans, the traditional biennial gathering is set to give way to a new annual format from next year.

The inaugural edition of Le Mans Classic Legend will be held from 2 to 5 July 2026. The new gathering will spotlight the cars that flew the endurance flag from 1976 to 2015 – a period synonymous with technical innovations, spectacular performances and emblematic figures of motorsport.

A new impulse for Le Mans Classic

From 2026, Le Mans Classic will be held annually, alternating between two complementary events:

  • Le Mans Classic Heritage (1923-1975): a journey back to the golden age of endurance, with legendary grids and a decidedly vintage atmosphere 
  • Le Mans Classic Legend (1976-2015): a celebration of more recent eras featuring prototypes and GTs that wrote the contemporary history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Relive the magic of retro endurance every year! The new schedule will create more track opportunities for collectors and drivers, and offer a chance for a whole new generation of fans to become smitten with this unique passion!
