PistonHeads at Le Mans 2015

We've pulled out all the stops and to make LM 2015 a year to remember



PistonHeads has long held the 24 Heures du Mans close to its heart. For many years we've actively encouraged and facilitated an en masse pilgrimage to the Circuit de la Sarthe. For 2015 we've been working hard to bring something a little bit different to the party, and despite some hiccups and time-sapping delays (apologies!), we think it will be worth the wait.

So, without further ado, here is the plan.


First up, we're proud to be able to bring you an official PistonHeads pub at Le Mans! The Pie & Piston will be open for the duration of the weekend, and is situated in a prime location right in the heart of the main village just above the pits. It will be the best place to relax, keep up to date with the race and hang out with lots of other members, not to mention the PH team. Alternatively you can just turn up and have a few too many beers. The choice is yours!

But that's not all. What can your typical PHer get up to on Friday morning before the festivities are in full swing, you might ask?

Previously the PH Friday Service has been popular, but equally it had become increasingly hard to organise due to a lack of space and problems with traffic management. But fear not, we have a solution and have teamed up with another cornerstone of the Le Mans 24-Hour, the Classic British Welcome (CBW).


Now in its 15th year, CBW has now become one of the main highlights for Le Mans attendees. The event is now a meeting point for some 9,000 visitors and around 1,000 classics and sports cars from across Europe will be there. Each year the event chooses a new theme, and for 2015 the theme will be MG.

We've been given our very own space within CBW to host a Friday Service, with space for 150 PHers; not only will they enjoy the company of the other CBW guests but they will also receive plenty of goodies courtesy of PistonHeads.

We'll be announcing further Pie & Piston details soon, but until then a hot tip will be to make sure that you are wearing a PH T-shirt at all times to make to most of the special offers. Purchase your Le Mans PH 2015 T-shirt here.


If you'd like to join us at CBW for our Friday Service, then please add your name to the calendar here. Please ensure that you keep an eye on the contact email address in your profile as we'll be emailing you a pass to get in (without which you will be turned away!).

We're going to be strict on entry as we expect demand to be high - therefore please only add your name if you're 100 per cent committed to joining us.

Lastly, if you're reading this and thinking "Wow, that sounds great, but I've left it too late and haven't booked my trip to Le Mans yet", then fear not - we have some places left on our new and luxurious 'Premier Vert' campsite.

We hope to see plenty of you at Le Mans very soon!

Will the pie and piston cater for Beer snobs such as myself?
