Le Mans 24 Hours must happen, says WEC boss
A cast of top drivers will race in a virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans in June but the postponed real-life version must also happen this year, even if without spectators, World Endurance Championship (WEC) boss Gerard Neveu said on Monday.
The race at the Sarthe circuit in northwest France, now in its 88th edition, is the crowning glory of the WEC season and was attended by 250,000 people in 2019 with a large number coming from Britain.
It has been rescheduled from June 13-14 to Sep. 19-20 due to the coronavirus pandemic but whether it will be held on those dates, and with a crowd, remains an open question.
