The 24 Heures du Simeone

24 hours. 40 plus historic cars. Live Le Mans coverage. The American story at Le Mans, told through the Simeone Museum collection.
The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum will host the fourth annual 24 Heures du Simeone on June 13 and 14, 2026, running concurrently with the actual 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.
This year’s theme, The Americans at Le Mans, traces the full arc of American ambition at the world’s greatest endurance race, from the earliest American pioneers in the 1920s through the defining battles of the 1960s.
More than 40 historic car demonstrations will run across 12 themed segments over a continuous 24 hour program. Live coverage of the race in France will stream throughout the museum. Historic drivers and competitors will appear for interviews, with live check ins from drivers and engineers on the ground at Le Mans as the race unfolds.
The weekend will also mark the public unveiling of the latest addition to the Simeone permanent collection. The museum has not disclosed what the acquisition is, describing it only as a significant addition to one of the world’s great collections of racing sports cars.
