MotoGP - Le Mans, France

MotoGP Le Mans, France.  15– 17 May 09 Tickets from £65 - Packages from £115 plus travel, corporate hospitality and bespoke options... request callback reserve place

With it’s unrivalled history and its location only a couple of hours from the channel ports, Le Mans has to be one of the best introductions to European racing.

Elbow Down

By far the best way to attend this event is to take your own car or bike using one of the channel crossings. The closest major airport is Paris, two to three hours from the track and hotels so, if you
prefer to fly, a hire car will be required.

The race at the legendary Sarthe circuit is always one of the most popular on the
calendar. It is easy to get to and the brand new circuit facilities, ample parking and camping areas means there is a real party atmosphere going on. Le Mans town is no distance and whenever there is a big event at the track everyone gets involved – the locals love it!
