8 reasons to go to Le Mans 24 with PH

With Le Mans less than a month away, here's why you need to be there with PH

LMP1 will see 10 cars on the grid
Porsche may have gone, but the top tier will be far from a walk in the park for Toyota, with competition including the British-built Ginetta G60-LT P1 and the Rebellion-TVR partnership's Oreca R-13.

The PistonHeads experience
Enjoy all the benefits of staying with PistonHeads and 1st Tickets, including a fenced perimeter with 24-hour security, cooked meals, a large marquee with bar and live TV coverage of the race, free Wi-Fi and clean toilet and shower facilities. It really is the best way to soak up that inimitable Le Mans atmosphere whilst retaining the comfort and peace of mind afforded by a hotel.

BMW is back with the M8 in GTE Pro
Having completed its Daytona debut unscathed, and taken pole at the 12 hours of Sebring, the 500hp monster is on course to win over spectators just as its M6-based predecessor did before it.

Pub quiz prizes!
Our Friday night pub quiz returns for a second consecutive year, once again giving you and your friends not only the chance to test your Le Mans knowledge but also to win a mid-race tour of the Aston Martin pit garage. We'll make sure to bring enough pens this time...

Aston Martin
Speaking of Aston Martin, the all new Vantage GTE will be taking part in its first Le Mans, fighting to defend last year's penultimate lap victory. It'll be going up against that M8, as well as rivals like the Ford GT, Ferrari 488 GTE Evo and Porsche 911 RSR in the GTE Pro class.

There's more than just cars...
Not that you need more, of course, but the inaugural Grand Concert will be taking place at the MMArena next door to the track. The Friday night concert will be headlined by Jamiroquai and their car-crazy frontman Jay Kay, and entry is now guaranteed with your weekend ticket - yep, that's a Jamiroquai concert for no extra cost over your Le Mans race pass.

The drive to Le Mans
The say the journey is as important as the destination, and that's never truer than during Le Mans weekend. With so many Brits heading down from Calais, Caen and Dieppe, the sights and sounds of the French road network are, for a few short days, better than anywhere else in the world.

The Classic British Welcome
After you've arrived, make sure to head over to the Classic British Welcome. The annual car show takes place on the Friday before the race in nearby Saint Saturnin, with this year's featured marque being BMW.
