One of the greatest motorsport events, the Le Mans Classic celebrates historic cars. It’s a truly special event for motorsport fans, especially those who appreciate classic cars that have taken part in the legendary Le Mans motorsport event.
The Le Mans Classic started in 2002 and is held every two years. It takes place on the grounds of the Le Mans 24 hour race using the renowned Circuit de la Sarthe. This year, it’s the 12th Le Mans Classic event and it takes place over the weekend of 3rd to 6th July 2025. The 2023 event celebrated the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, attracting around 235,000 visitors. And this year promises to be equally epic.
If you appreciate incredible classic cars, this is the motorsport event for you. You’ll get to see classic cars from historic 24 Hours of Le Mans events between 1923 and 1979. We expect there to be over 350 participants. It’s quite something to witness.

We can help with grandstand tickets, travel and accommodation – be that a hotel close to the circuit or a public campsite like Beasejour.
