\t\t\t\t\tRace start time for 2026 Le Mans 24 Hours<\/p>\n
It is time for one of the most iconic events on the motorsport calendar, as the 94th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours gets underway today.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The legendary 24-hour race represents the fourth round of the World Endurance Championship (WEC), but it is the only event on the calendar that allows LMP2 machinery.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
A remarkable 62 cars will take the start at the Circuit de la Sarthe, with 186 drivers set to battle for overall victory and prestigious class honours.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It is the #15 BMW M Team WRT entry that starts from overall and Hypercar pole position after setting a new lap record, while Ferrari is targeting a fourth consecutive victory at Le Mans. Last year’s winning customer entry, the #83 AF Corse Ferrari, starts from 17th on the grid.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The race is due to start at 15:00 GMT on Saturday, 13 June, and will run for 24 hours, finishing at 15:00 GMT on Sunday, 14 June.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Le Mans operates on Central European Time (CET), which is one hour ahead of GMT, meaning the race starts at 16:00 local time and finishes at 16:00 local time on Sunday.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
For those on the East Coast of the United States, the race gets underway at 10:00 ET before finishing 24 hours later.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Race start time for 2026 Le Mans 24 Hours It is time for one of the most iconic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-735936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
