The story behind the line
A century of going the distance.
The first 24 Hours of Le Mans began on 26 May 1923. More than a century later, the race remains a meeting point for endurance, engineering and the people who return to watch it.
Its circuit has evolved along the way. The Porsche Curves arrived in 1972, replacing the old Maison Blanche section. In 1990, two chicanes changed the rhythm of the Mulsanne Straight, breaking up its long uninterrupted run.
This print traces the modern 13.626 km 24-hour circuit, also known as the Circuit de la Sarthe. Its long outline connects permanent racing sections with roads that take on a different life during the race.

Names that stay with you
One lap.
So many memories.
For some, the outline recalls a campsite and a first race weekend. For others, it is a route learned one braking point at a time on a simulator.
- Tertre Rouge & Mulsanne
- The right-hander at Tertre Rouge leads onto the Mulsanne Straight. A good exit carries its reward far down the road.
- Indianapolis
- A quick right-hand kink leads into a banked left: a striking change of pace on the return towards the pits.
- Arnage
- The circuit’s slowest corner, a tight right-hander where precision matters as much as outright speed.
- Porsche Curves
- A fast sequence of direction changes that asks for confidence and commitment late in the lap.
