Le Mans 24 Hours Race: Start time and TV channel
It's the 100th anniversary of the historic Le Mans 24 hour race and one of the world's most famous events is set to be one not to be missed.
Qualifying has thrown up intriguing times with Ferrari sensationally locking out the front row on their factory return to the top class after 50 years away.
Their nearest challengers are likely to be the previously dominant Toyota cars driven by former F1 drivers including Kamui Kobayashi and Brendon Hartley.
Former F1 world champion Jenson Button is also amongst those in action in the legendary endurance race.
Here is all you need to know heading into the race getting underway at the Circuit de Sarthe on Saturday.
