Please note that this exhibition presents a curated selection of iconic vehicles, and not the 100 cars usually displayed in our museum.
“Champions du Monde”
Located at the South Gate of the Circuit, the temporary 24 Hours Museum and its Official Store welcome visitors to a unique venue dedicated to motorsport passion, the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Formula 1!
Fans of racing history and the Le Mans legend will once again be able to wander through the exhibits starting August 1, 2025. The public is invited to discover this unique temporary installation, which also includes the Official Store. A one-of-a-kind experience to enjoy during the museum’s closure, right in the heart of the circuit.
Champions du Monde
At the opening of the temporary museum, a brand-new exhibition entitled “Champions du Monde” will be launched. This exclusive showcase will feature iconic Formula 1 single-seaters and endurance prototypes that left their mark on motorsport history.
Housed in a modern 1,200 m² structure across two levels, the exhibition celebrates the theme “Champions du Monde”. Around fifteen legendary vehicles that have won major titles in endurance and Formula 1 will be on display.
A vibrant tribute to the drivers and manufacturers who dominated their disciplines — both internationally and at Le Mans.

The ticket also includes access to the circuit (when open), allowing you to extend your experience at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans site.
From the temporary museum, located at the circuit’s South Gate, a marked walking path guides you to the pit straight, then continues along the track to the Dunlop Bridge. Along the way, you’ll enjoy privileged viewpoints of the Bugatti circuit’s iconic infrastructure.
Several accessible grandstands are located along the path — perfect for watching car or bike sessions, if any are scheduled during your visit.
A QR code available at the museum provides exclusive content throughout your visit. By scanning it, you’ll access stories, technical explanations, and interactive games that bring the circuit’s history and secrets to life.
Please note that access to the paddocks, technical buildings, and restricted areas is strictly prohibited. The visit is limited to clearly marked public areas.
