HISTORY OF LE MANS The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the world’s oldest, active endurance sportscar race, held annually since 1923. Considered to be one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world, it is organized by the Automobile Club de l´Quest (ACO) and runs on the Circuit de la Sarthe, a circuit mixing closed public roads and tarmac that is a grueling test of endurance for car and driver. Aston Martin Racing has earned nine podiums over the last 10 years at Le Mans, including class wins in 2006, 2008, 2013 and that thrilling 2017 victory with that final lap pass.
