The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the quintessential endurance race event, one of the most important competitions in Motorsports, held every year since 1929 (with a 10-year pause from 1939 to 1949) at the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France. For being successful at Le Mans, a racecar needs to develop higher speed and, at the same time, to have outstanding reliability under long-distance racing conditions. The winner is the team that covers the most distance in 24 hours. The race runs in summer, with a high temperature and occasional rain getting the track surface wet.

The 11-turn, 2.6-mile Circuit de la Sarthe in its current configuration is a highly technical layout offering a wide array of features that keep professional racers engaged the whole time they are behind the wheels. To get an average speed of 79 mph (127 km/h) on this difficult-to-maneuver circuit needs a fully-focused and experienced driver, let alone the particularities of completing the challenging 24 hours of nonstop racing. Teams replace drivers every 1-2 hours, but the precise interval depends on the team strategy. The whole trajectory is spectacular to the eye and fun to drive, with a different kind of challenge at every corner, a lot of overtaking opportunities, and an addictive experience every motorsports fan needs to take a look to.
