The 2020 Le Mans 24 Hours takes place three months later than usual in the unusual circumstances of a closed Circuit de la Sarthe, with the most famous endurance race in the world set to take place behind closed doors for the first time in history.

With the coronavirus pandemic still requiring widespread restrictions across the globe, a difficult decision was taken last month to keep Le Mans closed to fans, meaning the approximate 280,000 fans who normally attend will have to make do this year with watching on from home.

The measures have also impacted on the racing itself, with a more condensed schedule leading up to the main event and a slightly reduced grid as a result of the removal of the reserve list, with teams operating in strict bio-bubble conditions to minimise the spread of Covid-19.

The revamped 2020/21 season sees Le Mans arrive as the penultimate round of the World Endurance Championship, but with double-points on offer, there is plenty to play for in the title battle. The LMP1 fight sees the two Toyotas arrive at Le Mans with just 12 points between them, though with the No 1 Rebellion line-up of Bruno Senna, Gustavo Menezes and Norman Nato 28 points off the leaders, they can put themselves firmly in the championship picture with a victory at Le Mans.

The championship battles across LMP2, GTE Pro and GTE Am are all well and truly alive, with United Autosports leading the way in LMP2 and Aston Martin, Porsche and Ferrari all in the mix in GTE Pro, though the GTE Am battle looks to be between the No 83 AF Corse Ferrari and the No 90 TF Sport Aston Martin.

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s event.

Can you buy tickets?

No. Race organisers the ACO announced in June that they planned to welcome fans in camp site ‘bubbles’ of 5,000 people, with around 10 located around the track to allow an attendance of around 50,000 at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

But the ACO reversed the decision in August following a spike in coronavirus cases and announced that no fans will be allowed to attend this weekend, although any tickets already purchased will be eligible to be carried over to the 2021 event.

ACO president Pierre Fillon said in August: "Over the past few weeks, we have looked at many ways in which we could hold our event in September with fans present, albeit in limited numbers.

"However, given the constraints involved in organising a festival-scale event over several days in the current situation, we have opted with the local government authorities to hold the race behind closed doors.

"There were still too many question-marks regarding health and safety. We know that our fans will be as disappointed as we are by this decision but, with public health in the balance, it really wasn’t a difficult call to make."
