The world famous 24 Hours of Le Mans will not be held this year with an audience. The organization will announce this on Monday.
A huge disappointment for fans of the 24 Hours of Le Mans: the organization does not consider it possible to admit the public to the famous race. For the first time in history, the stands along the Circuit de la Sarthe remain empty when the cars rush past for 24 hours. “Over the past few weeks, we have looked at different ways to hold our event in September with fans, even if that would be the case to a limited extent. Due to the current situation, there is only limited scope for organizing festival-like events. we have decided, in consultation with local authorities, to keep the race behind closed doors, “the organization said. “There were still too many questions about safety.”
Initially it seemed that it would be possible after all. After all, in June, just after the original date of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the news came out that a limited audience was allowed to attend the race. The ’24 Heures’ will take place this year on 19 and 20 September. According to the organization, everything is done to be able to make an extensive report of the spectacle with the help of the media present.
