GP Explorer 3: The many new features of the latest edition

Two years after the GP Explorer 2, the event bringing together web content creators and musical artists is preparing to bow out. For the occasion, the Bugatti circuit in Le Mans will once again host the race, as it did for the two previous editions in 2022 and 2023.

This time, however, the event won't take place over a single day. It will be held in three stages, with 200 spectators expected between Friday, October 000rd and Sunday, October 3th, for a more comprehensive weekend than in the past. A driver presentation and a concert will take place on Friday evening, while the on-track action will take place on Saturday and Sunday as part of a sprint weekend.

In 2022, 40 spectators attended the first Explorer GP. While the second edition attracted 000 people, this final weekend has given organizers a grander outlook. A total of 60 grandstands will be deployed with the aim of accommodating 000 spectators per race day, the maximum capacity of the venue.

The GP Explorer aims for records

On Saturday, free practice will take place in the morning, while a sprint qualifying session and an eight-lap race will take place in the afternoon. Sunday will be the same day, except for the race's length, which is scheduled to last 8 laps. Note that only Sunday's events will be streamed live on Twitch, which is already generating plenty of commentary from the public.

In keeping with this same spirit of grandeur, the cast has also been extensively revised. The podium from the last two editions, composed of Depielo (Pierre-Olivier Valette), Sylvain Levy, and Étienne "Moustache" Jouneau, will not be able to be reformed since none of these participants will be returning. However, several Spanish, American, and Quebec content creators will be in attendance. The event will also be covered in Spain and the United States by local content creators.

Much anticipated by the public, the ticket sales are scheduled to open on Wednesday, June 4. On this occasion, the artists featured in Friday's concert will also be revealed, as well as the liveries of the twelve competing teams. Regarding pricing, the general venue will be accessible for one of the two days of racing at €69, while a grandstand seat will be priced at €85.

Bringing together more than four million spectators during the last edition, this GP Explorer 3 entitled "The Last Race" intends to push the limits of an internet phenomenon in France.
