The FIM Endurance World Championship returns to the Le Mans circuit for the 47th edition of the 24H Motorcycles. During the first sessions of the weekend, Yart-Yamaha and Yoshimura SERT Motul competed for the top spot. However, it is this Saturday that things count, since the start of the race will be given at the beginning of the afternoon.
The day will begin with the Warm Up which will see the 48 machines entered take to the track before the race. The support categories of the Klass GP and the PMR Bridgestone Cup will then perform one last time on the Bugatti circuit to compete in the final races of their respective programs.
From 13:55 p.m., the machines that will compete in the 24 Hours will return and will have five minutes to take their place on the starting grid. After a short hour of waiting, the lights will go out to kick off the double round of the clock, during which Yart-Yamaha (n°1) will try to defend its pole position in relation to its direct competitors, on No. 12 (Yoshimura SERT Motul).
As a reminder, three categories are entered in the 24 Heures Motos. Thus 31 crews will run the premier category, Formula EWC. While 15 and 2 machines will take to the track in the Superstock and Experimental categories.
