2020 24 Hours of Le Mans to be closed door event

This year’s rescheduled Le෴ Mans 24 Hours will take place behind closed doors without spectators in a U-Turn made by th🌠e Automobile Club de l’Ouest.
The prestigious race was originall🍸y scheduled to take place in June but was moved back until 19-20 Sep෴tember due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Race organisers hoped to be able to stage the race with a limite🍎d number of spectators trackside but following advice from local government authorities amid uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus situation, a decision has been taken not to proceed with fans in attendance🔜.
A statement from the FIA said that “protecting the health of competitors, partners and spectators has always been of paramount concern to the AC𒁏O and the FIA”.
Pierre Fillon, presid💯ent of the ACO, said: “The 88th 24 Hours of Le Mans will 🧸go down in the annals of history as, sadly, the world’s greatest endurance race will be run this year with no spectators trackside.
“Over the last few weeks, we have looked at many ways in which we could hold our event iꦦn September with fansꦗ present, albeit in limited numbers.
“How꧃ever, given the constraints involved in organising a festival-scale event over sever🍸al 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 ques🌱tion 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. You don’t compromise where safety is concerned.
“Fans will not miss out alto𒁏gether. They may not be at Le🤪 Mans, but our media teams and service providers will bring Le Mans to them! We are sure that we can count on everyone’s support and understanding at this time.”
Ticket holders will be conta꧑cted by the ticket office r♑egarding the event.
