24 Hours of LeMans ticket sales suspended

ACO President Pierre Fillon

The Automobile Club de l’Ouest has confirmed that spectators are currently allowed to attend this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans but new ticket sales have been suspended. Only ticket holders purchasing before June 29 and ACO members are to be permitted access to watch the FIA World Endurance Championship headline round on September 19-20.

“At the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year, solidarity and responsibility will be more than mere words," said ACO President Pierre Fillon.

“The principles form the foundation of an event that will celebrate togetherness and fraternity. We will be paying tribute to the heroes of the crisis and saluting the commitment of the members of our club, volunteers, teams, partners, institutions, media and fans – without whom this race could not take place and who have already made it a memorable occasion.

“We have always been at the forefront of technological innovation to improve safety and sustainable mobility.

“Responsibility is one of our founding principles. We are therefore sure that our loyal spectators will understand our position and support our decision.

“We will not be breaking any attendance records this year. However, all the magic of the race will remain intact and the spectator experience – trackside or from a distance – will remain world-class."
