ABOUT THE TRACK
Built in 1965 around the existing 24-Hour track, the Le Mans Bugatti Grand Prix race circuit lies 5km south of the city of Le Mans and 200km south-west of Paris. The venue has hosted Grand Prix since the late sixties but a serious accident to Spanish rider Alberto Puig in 1995 saw it struck off the calendar until 2000 whilst stringent safety improvements were carried out. Le Mans is a tight track dominated by first gear corners that place the emphasis on late braking and hard acceleration, whilst rear end traction is also a key area. The weather in Le Mans has often been a major topic for this round, with May's climate in this area of France often rainy and cold, always providing suspense and great racing shows in unusual conditions! The French Grand Prix has become over the last years the most attended Grand Prix of the MotoGP™ World Championship calendar. Elected best Grand Prix of the year in 2023, the record attendance was once again broken in 2024 with 297,471 motorcycle fans having made their way through the doors of the Bugatti Circuit. Will 2025 hit another milestone?
