The Le Mans 24-Hour Karting Endurance Race

Experience the thrill of 24-hour karting endurance at the legendary Le Mans in France, the birthplace of the 24-hour race. The kart circuit, situated within the famous Grand Prix circuit and just minutes from the Circuit des 24 Heures, offers a unique opportunity to race in the footsteps of motorsport legends. Immerse yourself in the history of this iconic location with a visit to the Circuit 24 Heures Museum.

Teesside Karting returns to Le Mans for the 2025 season, an event many consider the highlight of the year. Since our last owner/driver race at Le Mans in 2013, we've seen numerous owner/drivers switch to hire karts to compete on this magnificent circuit.

The atmosphere at Le Mans is unmatched, with teams enjoying a vibrant paddock scene. Many choose to 'glamp' at the onsite campsite, while the trackside pit garages buzz with a party atmosphere, complete with BBQs and camaraderie, all leading up to the intense competition on the track.

Our Biz 200cc twin-engine karts are meticulously maintained for parity, and a minimum combined weight of 235kg for kart and driver is enforced to ensure a level playing field.

Championship Registration

To secure your spot in the championship, a £175 non-refundable registration fee per team is required. This fee ensures that your team name and number are secured, and is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that until this fee is paid, your team will not be approved, meaning your spot, team name, and number are not guaranteed. Additionally, only teams registered by November 24th, 2024, will be eligible for exclusive Black Friday deals, with early access codes provided on November 26th, 2024.

Team Classifications

We assign teams to classes based on experience to ensure fair competition. Upon registering, we may contact new teams to discuss their experience and appropriately place them in one of the following classes:

• Elite: Teams with top ten finishes in any 24-hour race within the last five years in the Pro or Elite classes.
• Pro: Teams with top 20 finishes in the last five years in the Pro or Club classes.
• Club: Teams that have participated in 24-hour races but haven’t finished high in class or previously raced as a rookie team.
• Rookie: Teams with no prior 24-hour or endurance racing experience.

Don’t miss out—sign up now to be part of this thrilling racing experience. Rookie teams should email enquiries@teessidekarting.co.uk  after booking to discuss relevant experience.
