24 HEURES DU MANS

Le Mans, France: June 16/16:
Le Mans is the most international of all races. You don't have to be a member of the exclusive franchises that control F1 and IndyCar, but you do have to be competitive and accepted by the Automobile Club. Each year entries are received from around the world, not least from the United States.

The Le Mans package includes a tour of the Loire Valley, visiting several world renowned chateaux and vineyards. The chateaux are architectural wonders. And the vineyards, you may ask? French wine at it best.

Our hospitality package offers dinner on Saturday evening, breakfast and lunch on Sunday, and a no-host bar throughout the hours the hospitality tent is open. Our policy is to always keep you abreast of the race while you are in the tent, and to this end we will bring in drivers for live interviews. There is also a race commentator to update you on the track action on a regular basis. Take the VIP van service to Mulsanne Corner on Saturday night - remember, the circuit is eight miles long, with plenty of action down the Mulsanne straight, around the Porsche curves and through TertreRouge.

Keeping you in touch with the on-track action is Radio Le Mans, the ACO's English language radio station. The station is on the air for 72 hours and broadcasts over a five mile radius.
