The best pilots in the world are going to this famous race, where the most serious test lies ahead. In this 24-hour circuit race, not only outstanding skill must be demonstrated, but also courage and endurance. Winners in such races always become a true legend. The first race was held in 1923, and for nearly 85 years, car manufacturers and drivers have dreamed of winning this legendary track, and interest in it does not fall. Numerous teams, curious rules and a friendly atmosphere on the track make this race almost the queen of all racing competitions. Automobile Club De I'Quest diligently preserves the traditions, sports spirit and friendly attitude between the teams during all these years.

Three types of cars participate in this race: GT2, GT1 and the so-called prototypes (Prototype). The most famous class is GT2. Cars of this class are designed on the basis of sports models that are developed by various manufacturers. GT1 class cars are designed with racing in mind, based on conventional road cars. The Prototype class is specifically designed for circuit racing and is close in performance to the GT1 class. The easiest way to start the game is with a GT2 car. Although their characteristics are somewhat lower than those of other classes. Nevertheless, their racing capabilities and handling quality allow even beginners to show decent results. As you gain more experience in driving a car in this class, you can move on to the Prototypes, and then to the GT1 class. Then you will have a higher chance of taking the winner's place on the podium.
