The most important parades Sarthe

A large-scale show... Not to be confused with the "Pesage", a more technical event. The "Grande Parade" has a very heroic feel to it, presenting the first protagonists of the legendary 24-hourendurance race. At previous editions, we were able to get up close to champions with impressive track records. Tom Christensen, for example, is still the stuff of dreams, with seven victories to his name. Specialists such as Henri Pescarolo, Graham Hill and Mario Andretti have also previously taken part. More recently, Jacques Villeneuve, Sébastien Bourdais and Sébastien Loeb took part in the exhibition. There's something exciting about being able to get up close and personal with all these people. A standing ovation is given at every turn. The parade also celebrates three drivers in particular, who are presented with a trophy: the one who takes pole position in qualifying, the one who achieves the best lap time and the inevitable "Rookie", i.e. the competitor discovering the Le Mans scene for the very first time. This event is truly unique. Jubilant effects in store!
