The 24 Heures Motos is one of those races that riders and manufacturers dream of winning.

This April, Yamaha’s GMT 94 triumphed in the gruelling test of stamina, cheered on by a 74,500-strong crowd. In 2018, the world champion manufacturer, who clinched the title on home ground at the 8 Hours of Suzuka, will be defending its championship crown and status as Le Mans winner. Thrilled at the increasing popularity of the race, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest has planned a full schedule of sporting and leisure trackside events to keep fans entertained throughout the weekend.

Details will be disclosed soon.
