Every year, big stars and public figures are invited to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, both on the grid and to give the start of the world’s biggest endurance race.

In this case, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest has chosen the illustrious basketball player LeBron James to lower the French flag at the start, at 4 p.m. The occasion will be fantastic for the NBA legend, as the attendance record is expected to be broken this year.

In the ACO statement, Pierre Fillon, the president, expressed his delight in welcoming LeBron James to the Centennial of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and sincerely thanked him for accepting the role of Starter. We are eager to introduce him to the unique atmosphere that prevails on the circuit and the excitement generated by the Centennial of the world’s greatest endurance race.

As for the basketball legend, current resident of Los Angeles, it is an honor for me to be part of this historic moment in motorsport and contribute to the celebration of the centenary of one of the greatest sporting events in the world. I am excited to give the start.
