An exceptional endurance weekend at Circuit Paul Ricard
On 2 and 3 May, Circuit Paul Ricard came alive to the rhythm of the second round of the 2026 European Le Mans Series. With over 25,500 spectators, this edition of the 4 Hours of Le Castellet set a new attendance record, a figure that reflects the growing enthusiasm for endurance racing and confirms our event's place as one of the must-attend fixtures on the European calendar. No fewer than 47 cars, spread across four categories and representing nine manufacturers, took the start. The race, full of twists and turns, delivered a spectacle worthy of endurance racing's greatest moments.
Beyond the track, a whole atmosphere was on offer to spectators throughout the weekend. Alongside the 4 Hours of Le Castellet, the public enjoyed the Michelin Le Mans Cup and Ligier European Series races.
On Saturday evening occured the launch of the 2026 season of the Rooftop Parties at Circuit Paul Ricard. It offered a breathtaking view over the closing stages of the race, blending a stunning sunset with a live DJ set by Marie Prieux for a truly extraordinary evening.
Paddock and pit lane access, the chance to get up close to the cars and drivers, entertainment throughout the weekend: everything was done to ensure every visitor left with a head full of memories and a desire to come back.
