Le Mans 2020 is on (for now)

“We are monitoring the Coronavirus situation closely,” reads the ACO’s statement in regard to the Le Mans 24-hour race in June. Yep, as fear grips and motor races drop from the calendar like flies, even events three months away are under question.

“We are confident that the 24 Hours of Le Mans will go ahead as planned on 13-14 June.
