The 84th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans will feature the usual dogfight between Audi, Porsche, and Toyota for overall honors, a renewed rivalry as Ford returns to Le Mans with Ferrari, Corvette, Porsche, and Aston Martin in its sights, and all will be aired on FOX Sports 1 & 2, and FOX Sports Go.
The green flag waves on the world's greatest endurance race on June 18 where many familiar voices will bring the two-day event home to
Two hosting teams of Bob Varsha with Calvin Fish and Tommy Kendall, and Brian Till with Jamie Howe and Scott Pruett will be on duty. Small features will be delivered by Sam Posey, and FOX has tabbed Justin Bell and Andrew Marriott to report from the pits.
American fans will have cars to cheer for from the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, including Michael Shank Racing, Extreme Speed Motorsports, and Krohn Racing in LMP-2 Prototype," Varsha said. "IMSA-based teams make up half the field in the ferocious GTE Pro class, with Corvette Racing, Risi Competizione and Ferrari, doing battle with factory teams from Porsche, Aston Martin, and no fewer than four new Ford GT's from Chip Ganassi Racing in their quest to repeat Ford's first victory in 1966. And GTE Am features nine Americans, including last year's podium finishers Patrick Long, Townsend Bell, Bill Sweedler and Jeff Segal, plus former winner Johnny O'Connell."
All 24 hours will be available uninterrupted via the FOX Sports Go stream, and through the FS1 and FS2 cable outlets, the race will be shown at the following times, ET:
FS1: 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM

It was part of the deal with my wife that I take her back to Rome, Italy first, and then we can take the train up to Paris and then LeMans, France. So we will be arriving in LeMans next week Wednesday afternoon and staying in a Flexotel lodge inside the track circuit.

OK, so you will arrive just in time for Wednesday first test session (Part 1 & 2).
Then Thursday, you will see the second test session (Part 1 & 2).
Stay until the end of the second part! This is the moment where they are pushing hard for the pole position. The night is down but the temperatures are lower so the engine are breathing fresh air.
Also, they like
Friday, the pitlane is opened during the afternoon and you can see the cars and pilots close.
Then you HAVE to go to center of the city by tramway to watch the "Parade des Pilotes":

Saturday morning is quite busy with the warm-up, support races and then the start at 03:00 PM.
More details here:

Do you have places into a tribune?
I strongly advise to have comfortable shoes to walk, an umbrella, caps, sunglasses, solar cream, earplugs.
The Museum at the main entrance of the track is interesting and a quiet place for a break during the race.
Also, I can only advise to visit the old city (near the cathedral) during the Thursday afternoon.
Don't hesitate to ask if you any other question.
