The program for the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2020
This week takes place the traditional 24 Hours of Le Mans. Initially scheduled for June (13 and 14), they were postponed from 19 to September. An 88th edition like no other due to the health crisis that has hit the world.
With a disrupted program, the participants had to adapt and some were forced to throw in the towel due to financial difficulties in particular. Thus, the grid will be made up of 59 crews and not 60 as initially planned. Indeed, Team LNT withdrew a few days ago due to its economic situation.
These 59 cars will hit the asphalt of the Sarthe circuit from this Thursday, September 17 after having been scrutinized the day before during administrative and technical checks. This first day will be divided into three free practice sessions and one qualifying practice session.
Friday September 18 will be devoted to the last real day of driving before the big departure. This day, the drivers will take to the track for the final free practice session before fighting for the Hyperpole (determining the starting order of the 6 best crews in each category from the qualifying practices the day before).
Saturday is the big day, the one awaited by everyone. After a light warm-up of a quarter of an hour (10:30 a.m.-10:45 a.m.), the 59 crews will set off for the 88th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (14:30 p.m.). Arrival is scheduled for the next day, logically at the same time.
