About This Event
Race trucks weighing more than five tonnes, limited to 160 km/h, go door to door on the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans. In 2026 the French, European and British truck championships all raced the weekend, and Saturday ran into the night with racing and fireworks.
1What to Expect
On track in 2026: the French FFSA Truck Racing Championship, the Goodyear FIA European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) and the British Truck Racing Championship (BTRC). The French championship runs free practice, qualifying, a Superpole for the 12 fastest and four races, with the top eight reversed for races 2 and 4.
The Truck Show fills the circuit with about 250 decorated trucks (2026 figure): body tuned, hand painted, American and vintage. In 2026 they paraded on the Bugatti Circuit on Saturday night and Sunday lunchtime.
Around the racing there is a village to walk: the Village Square with the Truck Stop stage, an American Village with demonstrations, truck pulling and slot racing, a Vintage Village of historic and early race trucks, the Pro Truck Expo, a Kids Zone, and the 24 Hours museum and official shop.
Three giant screens sit by the Dunlop footbridge, at the bottom of the Welcome area and at the start of the start and finish straight, and the Championnat de France Camions app carries the schedule, standings and live results (2026).
2Best Way to Experience It
- A weekend admission ticket covers both days. Saturday is the long one: in 2026 the site opened at 7:00am and the programme ran into the night, while Sunday closed at 7:00pm.
- Grandstands line the Pit Straight and the Dunlop corners. In 2026 all were free to use with admission except T17 and T18 (ACO Club members) and the VIP area of T52, and every stand was covered except T22.
- Campsites opened on the Friday in 2026 and stayed open until Monday noon, so a camping ticket covers the Saturday night programme without a late drive out.
