Ringside party at the start of the “Drivers Parade” during the 24 Hours endurance race at Le Mans

Over the past decade, Project 100’s traditional Friday parade party in the heart of downtown Le Mans has become the best way to spend the Friday afternoon and evening before the big race. The ‘Grande Parade des Pilotes’, or Drivers Parade, is organised by Classic Automotive.

From 14:30  Before the official parade start, feel free to use your pass to wander around the plaza and the parade paddock to see the drivers and team personnel.

16:30  Our reception begins with light buffet, hors d’oeuvres and drinks in our private marquee on the plaza, right alongside the parade start itself. The afternoon features top musical entertainment from Le Mans’ own award winning Fabrice Soulsnam and band with their mix of jazz, soul and R&B!

From 17:00 until the last car passes around 1930 Watch marching bands, dancers, jugglers – and of course the race drivers in vintage open cars, each carrying a race crew –  as well as the other displays, all passing just a few metres in front of our marquee.
