WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 8:00am-6:00pm Technical scrutineering and documentation THE LONG-LASTING THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 8:30am-9:30am Free Practice 1 (Road to Le Mans) PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS 10:00am-1:00pm Free Practice 1 (Le Mans 24 Hours) "OF THE MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 2:00pm-5:00pm Free Practice 2 (Le Mans 24 Hours) PROMISE TO BE A BIG ADVANTAGE. 5:15pm-6:00pm Qualifying (Le Mans 24 Hours)

6:30pm-7:30pm Free Practice 2 (Road to Le Mans) Whether it takes place in June or September, 8:00pm-midnight Free Practice 3 (Le Mans 24 Hours) Le Mans will always be Le Mans, if only FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 because of the extremely high speeds the 8:30am-8:50am Qualifying 1 (Road to Le Mans) cars reach there, not to mention the repeated heavy braking and reacceleration the circuit 9:10am-9:30am Qualifying 2 (Road to Le Mans) calls for, or the need for mechanical grip 10:00am-11:00am Free Practice 4 (Le Mans 24 Hours) through such challenging turns as Tertre 11:30am-midday Hyperpole (Le Mans 24 Hours) Rouge, Indianapolis, Arnage and the Porsche 1:00pm-1:45pm Free Practice 1 (Porsche Carrera Cup) Curves. The day- and night-time temperatures and the risk of rain are likely to be similar in 2:15pm-3:10pm Race 1 (Road to Le Mans) September to what they are in June, so the 3:45pm-4:30pm Free Practice 2 (Porsche Carrera Cup) chief difference will be the proportion of 5:30pm-6:30pm Qualifying (Porsche Carrera Cup) night-time driving, since roughly half of the SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 race will take place in darkness. That’s about four hours more than in June. Since the start 9:15am-10:00am Race (Porsche Carrera Cup) of the current FIA WEC, tyres may not be 10:30am-10:45am Warm-up (Le Mans 24 Hours) changed while a car is being refuelled. As a 11:30am-12:25pm Race 2 (Road to Le Mans) consequence, the main challenge we face 2:30pm START, 2020 LE MANS 24 HOURS will be to provide our partner teams with the ability to multi-stint the same tyres. The (local times) long-lasting performance characteristics of the Michelin Pilot Sport therefore promise to be a big advantage. From the start of the MICHELIN STATISTIC 2019/2020 championship in Silverstone to last In the course of Le Mans week in 2019, the 52 Michelin-equipped cars covered a total distance of 217,130 kilometres on 2,991 tyres. That month’s round at Spa-Francorchamps, our works out at an average of almost 300km per set and makes the solutions have successfully covered the needs Michelin Pilot Sport world class circuit racing’s longest-lasting tyre. of our partner teams in all four classes and our complete range of slicks and wet-weather tyres has been used. Meanwhile, we have topped the order in LMP1, LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am at every one of the six rounds contested to date and come first in LMP2 five times. It’s worth recalling that the FIA WEC allows open competition between tyre manufacturers in all these categories. This year, 54 of the 59 cars are racing on Michelin rubber. "

MICHELIN LE MANS HIGHLIGHTS

1923: FIRST LE MANS 24 HOURS 2011: QUINTUPLE STINT 2018: THE EQUIVALENT AND MICHELIN’S FIRST WIN ON SAME TYRES CLINCHES VICTORY OF MORE THAN TWO F1 GRANDS PRIX ON A SINGLE SET OF TYRES In 2011, the N°2 R18 TDI/Michelin won Le Mans by a margin of just 13.854 seconds after Benoît Tréluyer chose to go out for a fifth stint on the same set of tyres following the car’s final pit stop. The 30 or so seconds saved by not changing his Michelins allowed the Frenchman to shrug off the late pressure applied by a trio of charging Peugeot 908 HDIs to the finish line!

In 2018, the 2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button On May 26, 1923, a field of 33 cars set off in pouring covered 55 laps (750km) at an average speed of more rain to contest the very first Le Mans 24 Hours, known than 220kph on the same set of Michelin tyres in his at the time as the Grand Prix d’Endurance de 24 BR1-AER LMP1 prototype.
