On March 1, 2017, was offered to the Press a Guided Tour (by Automobile Club de l'Ouest - ACO) of the site of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Circuit, to get into the shoes of any passionate spectator or interested tourist. This was for us an opportunity to discover or rediscover this site which is unique in the world with its highly eventful and fascinating tales. All year round, the Bugatti circuit opens its doors of this emblematic place, which welcomes about fifteen events every year, one of which is the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans Car Race. We were accompanied by an Expert sharing with us anecdotes while having a look behind the scenes.

We got access to the Race Direction, the Press Room and the Podium. Also, we could enjoy to feel the thrill of a victory in Le Mans Circuit by seating next to a Professional Driver having lots of experience in competing the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the ultimate experience was to drive one of the Porsche Cars (safely of course)... Those 'driving lessons' were given by the Wheel driving School of the Automobile West Club which proposes internships of training course of piloting auto, motto, and karting all on the prestigious Mans's tracks.
