Le Mans is home to the most famous 24-hour endurance race in the world and the centenary event took place on 10th - 11th June 2023, with thousands of motoring enthusiasts making the pilgrimage via LeShuttle to partake.
The LeShuttle terminals were alive with the roar of powerful engines, with over 1,000 supercar and elite sports car journeys booked around the weekend of the race. These special vehicles require the wider single deck carriages, which can accommodate 48 cars per shuttle. This is amongst the most expensive cargo to travel under the Channel, with many of these cars worth hundreds of thousands of pounds each, and some a lot more than that.
More than 120 Ferraris crossed under the Channel last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, along with 80+ Aston Martins and 50+ Lamborghinis. Other marques include McLaren, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maserati, Porsche, Morgan and Noble. There is a noticeable 40% increase in supercar travel compared to the same days in 2019!
To get to Le Mans, LeShuttle will have you and your precious cargo across the channel in a mere 35 minutes, after which you can take a direct route from Calais via the A28 and arrive in around 4 hours and 25 minutes. If you’re planning a longer trip and have time to see more of France, why not take the A1 and A11 to enjoy all that Paris has to offer on your way to Le Mans?
