10 A HISTORY OF LE MANS 24 Hours of Le Mans, original name Grand Prix de Vitesse et d Endurance or Grand Prix of Speed and Endurance, probably the world s best-known automobile race, run annually (with few exceptions) since 1923 at the Sarthe road-racing circuit, near Le Mans, France. Since 1928 the winner has been the car that travels the greatest distance in a 24-hour time period. The racing circuit is roughly 8.5 miles (13.6 km) long, and the race is run in June, on one of the shortest nights of the year. Le Mans is one of the eight races that compose the International Automobile Federation (Fédération Internationale de l Automobile; FIA) World Endurance Championship. The race is organized by the Automobile Club de l Ouest (ACO) and is held on the Circuit de la Sarthe, which contains a mix of closed public roadways and dedicated sections of racing track, in which racing teams must balance the demands of speed with the cars ability to run for 24 hours while remaining free of crippling mechanical failure. Of the 60 cars which qualified for the 2017 race, 49 cars ran the full duration.

11 Since 2012, the 24 Hours of Le Mans has been a part of the FIA World Endurance Championship. Because of the decision to run a World Endurance Championship super-season in the period May 2018 to June 2019, the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be run twice in the same season: it will be both the second and the last round of the season. Over the years, Le Mans influenced events have sprung up all around the globe, popularizing the 24-hour format at places like Daytona, Nürburgring, Spa-Francorchamps, and Bathurst. The American Le Mans Series and Europe s Le Mans Series of multi-event sports car championships were spun off from 24 Hours of Le Mans regulations. Other races include the Le Mans Classic, a race for historic Le Mans race cars from years past held on the Circuit de la Sarthe, a motorcycle version of the race which is held on the shortened Bugatti version of the same circuit, a kart race (24 Heures Karting), a truck race (24 Heures Camions), and a parody race 24 Hours of LeMons. Le Mans, city, capital of Sarthe département, Pays de la Loire région, northwestern France. Situated in the former province of Maine, the city lies southwest of Chartres at the confluence of the Sarthe and Huisne rivers. Saint-Julien Cathedral, Le Mans, France. Le Mans derives its name from the ancient Gallic tribe of the Cenomani, whose capital it was. In the late 3rd century CE the Gallo-Romans surrounded the town with walls, parts of which still survive. Also in the 3rd century, St. Julien evangelized the city and established a bishopric there. After the 6th century Le Mans became the seat of the counts of Maine. In the early 12th century the countship passed to the Plantagenets, counts of Anjou. Henry II, the first Plantagenet king of England, was born in Le Mans in Le Mans reverted to the French crown in the 13th century. The English invaded it during the Hundred Years War between England and France ( ). Royalists and republicans successively took over the town during the French Revolution.
