All at Le Mans, Just thought you'd like to know.... 
19th & 20th APRIL
THE 24 HOURS FOR MOTORCYCLES
This is the 31st 24 Hours for Motorcycles and is part of the Endurance World Championship. The riders will also tackle the new Bugatti circuit layout. The major news is the increasing involvement of works teams: in addition to Suzuki, the reigning champions, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda, 2008 will see BMW joining the battle for the world title. The supreme achievement for one of these makes would be starting the year with victory in the 24 Hours.
14th & 15th JUNE
THE LE MANS 24 HOURS
The greatest race in the world...and in space! In 2008, the start will be given at 15:00 on the track (by three famous astronauts) and from the international orbital station (ISS) in liaison on the circuit’s giant screens. Already the 76th Le Mans 24 Hours is well on the way to beating the 2007 record crowd (250 952 spectators!). From a sporting point of view everything is in place for 2 rounds of the clock full of suspense: adjustment of the equivalence between diesel and petrol engines, Peugeot’s thirst for revenge over Audi, the reaffirmed ambition of the other petrol-engined prototypes, non-stop battles in GT, etc, and a few other surprises!
20th & 21st SEPTEMBER
THE 24 HOURS FOR TRUCKS
This is the ultimate form of XXL racing! These trucks weighing over 5 tons with more than 1 000 bhp under the bonnet go at it hammer and tongs on the Bugatti circuit. It’s an amazing spectacle backed up by a parade of over 150 fully-decorated trucks as well as numerous sideshows... and the probable return of a round of the Side-Car World Championship.
