24 Hours of Le Mans

The 24 Hours of Le Mans, often considered the greatest endurance race in the world, is a prestigious automotive race held annually in June in the Sarthe region of France. Established in 1923 under the name “Grand Prix d’Endurance de 24 Heures – Coupe Rudge-Whitworth,” this race has become a legendary event in motorsport over the decades. On a 13.626 km circuit, drivers and their cars must endure for 24 hours. They face numerous challenges, including nighttime driving and sometimes harsh weather conditions, testing the durability of their vehicles. Major automobile manufacturers come to showcase their technological prowess to the public and gain international acclaim. 5-times LMP2 entrant Nielsen Racing has seen success at La Sarthe in both the Road to Le Mans support race and the main 24 Hours race, securing a podium in 2022 and two pole positions, becoming the first ever LMP2 ProAm team to qualify for Hyperpole.
