About This Event
The 50th 24 Heures Motos opens the FIM Endurance World Championship with a Le Mans style start, riders sprinting across the track to their bikes before 24 hours of racing on the Bugatti Circuit. For the first time the Coupes Moto Légende run alongside it, putting racing bikes built between 1950 and 2000 back on track with their own classic village.
1What to Expect
Gates open at 4pm on Thursday 8 April. Night free practice runs from 8pm to 10pm, then the Coupes Moto Légende have two night sessions.
Friday is free practice and qualifying, mixed with classic bike sessions, an autograph session with the riders and a big evening party for the 50th edition, with its programme still to be revealed.
Saturday has the last Coupes Moto Légende sessions, the start ceremony, the rider presentation and legendary riders from the race's past, then the Le Mans style start at 3pm. The flag falls at 3pm on Sunday, followed by the podium.
Show all 5
The Coupes Moto Légende run four classes: Sport Historique (1950 to 1964), Sport Classique (1965 to 1979), Endurance Héritage (1960 to 1980) and Endurance Légende (1981 to 2000), with 16 track sessions from Thursday to Saturday and a village for clubs and exhibitors.
Teams of riders share each bike through the night, and every class has its own fight to the finish.
