2025 24 Hours of Le Mans – Saturday 14 June programme

24 Hours of Le Mans | Warm-up

A few hours before the start of the race, teams get one last mini free practice, the Warm-Up, between 12:00 and 12:15. This is their final opportunity to fine-tune settings and adapt their cars to the day’s weather conditions.

24 Hours of Le Mans | Start

The start of the 93rd 24 Hours will be given at 16:00 by world tennis legend Roger Federer this year. Look for the ceremony preceding the start to be even more stunning than usual, thanks to all-new staging, as a helicopter delivers the French flag, La Marseillaise is played and sung in chorus by the crowd, and the cars take their places on the starting grid. The pressure continues to mount until the official starter waves the flag, releasing the 62 competitors whose adrenaline immediately goes through the roof as they head into 24 hours of white-knuckle racing!

Road to Le Mans

From 10:05 to 11:05, Road to Le Mans competitors hit the track for Race 2. This support race is the third of six rounds of the 2025 Michelin Le Mans Cup reserved for cars in the LMP3 and GT categories.

Ford Mustang Challenge

Ford Mustang Challenge teams face off in Race 2 between 08:45 to 09:30 when their powerful Ford Mustang Dark Horse Rs equipped with a naturally aspirated 500 hp V8s take the track.

DJ Loran, Kool & The Gang and The Avener Concerts

Kool & the Gang, formed in 1969, is an emblematic band known for classic hits like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness and Open Sesame. They have won two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards and have released 31 certified gold or platinum albums. Their longevity set the record for the longest active R&B group and their music has heavily influenced hip-hop as one of the most sampled groups, second only to James Brown.  

Tristan Casara, a.k.a. The Avener, is no ordinary DJ/producer. Trained in classical piano from the age of five at the Conservatory of Nice, he is first and foremost a musician and composer.  

The Avener already performed an exclusive night set during the 2020 Virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time, he will perform on the main stage of the Le Mans classic! 

The 24 Hours of Le Mans Show

Kicking off at midnight, the 24 Hours of Le Mans Show promises to be an unforgettable experience as always. With the theme “24H On Board”, spectators are plunged into the heart of the race via a 20-minute immersive show. Fireworks, and a drone and laser show, enhance this exceptional evening spectacle. As the drivers push their limits on the track, this thrilling moment will thrill young and old alike.
