Entertainment

Villages & paddocks

From the very first editions of Le Mans Classic, shopkeepers, fairground stalls and food outlets were initially grouped together in the Village, the central area of the circuit. Then, little by little, new villages sprang up, offering restaurants, shopping and other distractions. Spectators - just like the ephemeral museum formed by the 8,500 club cars - were offered some healthy pit stops as they wandered through the circuit, where they came across musicians and other strolling artists. It was almost enough to make you forget for a moment that there were over 800 cars on the circuit, including those on display.

Gordon Murray at Mans Classic Legend !

Gordon Murray, the visionary engineer, will be the exceptional Guest of Honour at this edition. While his creations have left their mark on history — notably with the victory of the McLaren F1 GTR at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans — the circuit will also welcome the legendary MP4/5B, the car that led Ayrton Senna to his second World Championship title.

An exclusive parade will bring together on track some of his most legendary creations:

Le Mans GTR
McLaren F1
F1 Brabham BT42 & McLaren MP4/5B
GMA T.33, T.50 & the radical T.50s Niki Lauda.

Don’t miss this unique immersion into Gordon Murray’s universe, with his models also on display at the heart of the village.

Paddocks

Grids 6 to 10 & supports

This is where it all begins. Engines cool down or roar to life, mechanics work away, eyes focused. People move between cars, catching a glimpse of an adjustment, a discussion, a gesture repeated for decades. The paddocks are not just a backdrop: they are the behind-the-scenes of racing, a lively space where tension, precision, and passion are palpable.

Band of the Republican Guard

Before the engines roar into life, the brass instruments open the show. With their immaculate appearance and the precision of their performance, the Republican Guard fanfare immediately establishes the prestige of the event. A blend of solemnity, mastery and a sense of spectacle, this performance provides a grandiose launch, like a perfectly tuned opening note before entering the arena.
