Le Mans 24 Hours - A pavilion devoted to women

Women have always played an important role in the world of the motor car and in the Le Mans 24 Hours as drivers, mechanics, engineers, marshals, doctors, press officers, etc. Thus the ACO, thinks that now is the right time to recognise their contribution and to secure a long-lasting relationship with female endurance fans.

All women present at the race will be welcomed in privileged conditions in this pavillion in three main areas:
• An exhibition/exchange area: an exhibition on all the women involved in the Le Mans 24 Hours and mini-conferences.
An ACO corner: here they can learn about all the activities of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest in addition to the Le Mans 24 Hours.
• A beauty area: demonstrations and make-up service, hairdressing, hands/manicures in collaboration with the Sarthe Esthétique Formation, a Le Mans-based beauty school.
• A lounge where women can continue talking while enjoying a cocktail or read the feminine press.

Cars that have forged the Le Mans legend will also be on display. A photocall and a driving simulator will complete these activities. Well-known female personalities can take advantage of this interactive programme to come along on Thursday 11th June, the date of the inauguration of this pavilion.
The aim of the Women’s Pavillion is to play down the glamour aspect of the Le Mans 24 Hours, and show the involvement of women in the world of the motor car, technology and motor sport by means of the activities on show and the people expected to come along to encourage new vocations and strengthen the loyalty of the growing female audience. three in LM GTE.
