Introduction...

2010 will be the 78th running of the extraordinary le Mans 24 hour endurance race. The le Mans 24 hour race was first run in 1923 when Andre Lagache and Rene Leonard won the race in a Chenard & Walker having covered 128 laps at an average speed of 92 kmh. The Sarthe circuit has been altered many times since then and is now a 13.629km course driven by the fastest cars in under three and a half minutes and more than 300 times.

Whatever their achievements in other formulae, some le Mans drivers, due to their outstanding performances here, will be forever linked with this legendary race. Pescarolo, Ickx, Bell, Dalmas, Lehto, Biela are amongst them but the undisputed king of the Le Mans 24 Hours is Dane Tom Kristensen with no less than eight wins under his belt since 1997.
The le Mans 24 hour race is not an event overrun by frivolity – scantily clad beauties and surgically enhanced starlets are not so much in evidence. Le Mans 24 hours race starters are usually from the world of motorsport or politics although in 1971 Steve McQueen enjoyed the honour of dropping the flag, as did Alain Delon in 1996.

The 24 hours of le Mans is, however, an event which attracts many thousands of race fans on an annual basis. Whether 2010 will be your first or your tenth le Mans 24, you can trust us with your travel arrangements. Our flexible self drive itineraries mean you can spend up to a week in France and enjoy as much of the le Mans action as you wish. Scrutineering takes place in Le Mans on Tuesday, practice and qualifying sessions take place on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday is a free day when there’s no on-track action. Saturday starts with the historic 24 hour car race, followed by parades and displays building-up to the start of the 24 heures du mans race at 1500h.

Once again we are offering a superb selection of hotel and private house accommodation for our 2010 le Mans 24 hour race packages. Whether you want to be in Le Mans itself or to get away from the city and track and enjoy more tranquil evenings, we have accommodation to suit all tastes. Whilst they are different in style and location, all our le Mans 24 properties have been specially chosen for the comforts they offer, the services they provide and, of course, the price. All the properties are known to us and if there is any further information you require you only have to ask.
