The outstanding results of the 2007 24 Heures du Mans are borne out by these figures, which are the proof of the exceptional media coverage of the event; figures which cannot fail to delight the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, organiser of the 24 Heures since 1923: 250,952 spectators, a 43% increase in media coverage, accreditation requests up by 16%, a potential T.V. audience of 628 million throughout the 108 countries broadcasting the race, etc.
More than ever, the 24 Heures du Mans is an integral part of those sports events which get the most media attention, and can now vie with football, rugby and Formula 1.
