Many Le Mans regulars have theories about which weekend the race falls into - most agree that it would normally be first of second weekend of June, the 24th week of the year!

Please be aware however that major sporting events (Rugby World Cup? British Grand Prix? Goodwood?) sometimes makes the ACO change from this rule, so keep an eye on our forum where our team of Beermountain "experts" will keep you up to speed. The 2009 Le Mans 24 Hour race is now confirmed as 13th/14th June, and the start time will be 15.00.
