24H Le Mans Scrutineering Schedule Released

By

The scrutineering schedule for next month’s 24 Hours of Le Mans has been revealed, featuring the day and times that each of the 60 entries and 180 drivers will go through the pre-race technical checks at the Place de Republique in downtown Le Mans.

Graff Racing will kick off activities on Sun., June 11, with Porsche Team and Aston Martin Racing among the leading teams to go through scrutineering on the opening day, in front of thousands of fans.

ARC Bratislava will be the first team to go through on Monday, which will again see the majority of teams take part.

Additional scrutineering for the LMP1 hybrids will take place on Tuesday, as has been the case in recent years, due to the complexities of the cars.

2017 Le Mans 24 Hours - The official list of entries revealed!

 

Today, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, creator and organiser of the Le Mans 24 Hours, has revealed the official list of the 60 cars and full driver line-ups who will take part in the pinnacle of the FIA World Endurance Championship on 17 - 18 June.

 While many teams had already communicated their drivers for the different Le Mans-type championships, they had until 11th May at midnight to send in the final line-ups for the Le Mans 24 Hours. After carrying out the usual checks, this list has been officially revealed today by the ACO. 

All the drivers and cars must now undergo scrutineering and administrative checks to take part in the event. 

The 179 drivers announced have licences issued by 31 different countries, and the 60 cars represent 41 teams and 16 nationalities. 

Cars running under American licences are the most numerous, while France and Britain supply the most drivers with 34 each. 

This year there will be only one woman driver at the start, 25-year-old Christina Nielsen from Denmark, back for her second outing in the Le Mans 24 Hours in the Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 488 in GTE Am. 

The list of entrants breaks down as follows: 6 cars in LM P1, 25 in LM P2, 13 in LM GTE Pro and 16 in LM GTE Am. Mentos Proton Racing is still on the reserve list should one of the official entries withdraw.

2017 NCM Le Mans Viewing Party
June 17-18, 2017

Attention GT and Prototype Race Fans of ALL Marques!!

On June 17-18, 2017 the world’s greatest car manufacturers will battle at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Through special arrangement with the ACO, three locations outside of France will be given commercial free, direct feed of the race… Berlin, Tokyo and Bowling Green, Kentucky at the National Corvette Museum.

We are planning to show the race on our 28-foot giant screen in the Chevrolet Theater, with live timing and scoring, refreshments during the entire 24 hours, private Skypes from the Corvette Racing team and door prizes. We think this will be the next best thing to being there yourself!

Space will be very limited – pre-registration early is of the essence!

Registration for this event is $100 per person and will include:

  • 24 hour opening of the NCM’s Theater for viewing purposes
  • Early opening of NCM on Saturday, June 17
  • Continental breakfast Saturday / Full breakfast Sunday
  • Pasta dinner Saturday evening
  • Midnight Ice Cream bar
  • Cash bar will be open Saturday from 5:15pm – 7:00pm
  • Snacks & refreshments provided all 24 hours
  • Hourly drawings for signed race team hero cards (Must be registered participant & present to win)

Security will cover the front grass circle entrance door (parking lot A entrance) from 5:00pm – 8:00am so you are free to come and go at your leisure. RV parking is allowed in the truck parking lot for this event only. Bring in your sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, etc. for an all night stay in the NCM. All activities are open to Event Registrants only.

Are you going this year? I think Nigel is... something about leaving his C7 at the port of Hampton, VA...

We are not. I am aiming for Monterey in the fall.

We are going to the Le Mans Viewing at the NCM.  We did it in 2015 and it was a lot of fun.

I was talking to Gary about LeMans... as he describes it, the place is a mad house, the corral is far away and ticket prices are insane!

My old job was supposed to send me to Denmark in May of 2010, but the project went sideways... my plan had been to leave Denmark, take the train and do the entire camping thing. Me, backpack, camera and a jacket... sleep on the train back!

Never happened. Sniff.
