15 Best Things to Do in Le Mans (France)

“Le Mans” means racing: The venerated 24 Hour of Le Mans is still going strong almost a century after the first race.

Motorsport lovers can pay homage at the track, and even drive parts of it as the course uses public roads.

Then see the veritable treasury of racing heritage at the circuit’s museum.

Yet Le Mans is so much more than just a race track, and deserves your time even if you’re not interested in cars.

Kings were born in Le Mans, Richard the Lionheart’s wife Berengaria of Navarre lived and died here, and the Cité Plantagenêt is an entire district of real medieval houses unaffected by time.

On summer evenings the Nuit des Chimères light show illuminates old Le Mans with whimsical projections, telling the city’s story in a way that will enchant both kids and grown-ups.

Lets explore the best things to do in Le Mans :

1. Cité Plantagenêt

Le Mans is proud of its link to the House of Plantagenêt, which ruled England for more than 300 years, and in 2003 adopted the name for its old quarter.

Roughly following the outline of the Gallo-Roman walls, the Cité Plantagenêt has many streets of romantic old houses with timber frames, and renaissance palaces with elegantly carved walls.

Get a guide from the tourist office and take as long as you can to make sure you don’t miss any surprises.

Also try to time your trip to Le Mans for one of the city’s heritage days when many of these privately-owned mansions open their doors to the public for a free peek around.

2. Le Mans Cathedral

Walking through the old town, the cathedral kind of creeps up on you once you turn onto Place du Cardinal Grente, and is less adorned than many in northern France but no less magnificent.

The most striking thing to see on the outside is the sequence of flying buttresses that encircle the apse, best admired from Place des Huguenots.

There’s also an odd curiosity on the building’s southwest corner: A stone age menhir was placed here in the 1770s and many centuries of weathering have given it strange layered contours.

In the interior are models showing the evolution of this building, which dates from the year 500 and took its present form in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Check out the romanesque capitals in the nave and the profusion of original stained glass windows .

3. La Nuit des Chimères

Translating as the “Night of Dreams”, from Tuesday to Saturday in the summer Le Mans’ seven main monuments are the canvas for artful light displays.

These whimsical projections have historic themes to match their landmarks; On the cathedral are gothic-style frescos with knights, signs of the zodiac, angels and legendary beasts.

At the Maison de la Reine Bérengère, Richard the Lionheart’s wife, Berengaria of Navarre is portrayed as a ghostly White Lady.

While the Gallo-Roman walls are lit up with the imagery you’d see on a Roman mosaic, with monsters from mythology and builders and architects constructing ancient Vindunum.

4. Gallo-Roman Walls

There’s an astounding 500-metre strip of Le Mans’ 3rd-century walls between the cathedral and the Sarthe.

This is one side of what was once a colossal rectangle that protected the city in rigid lines with 26 towers.

Get in close to see the beautiful geometric pattern fashioned with alternating layers of sandstone, white limestone, red brick and pale pink mortar.

The other reason to come in for a better look is to see how rubble from earlier monuments was reused in the walls, and you can identify bits of columns and pediments in the fabric of this structure.

5. Circuit des 24 Heures

Chances are that you can’t say the name “Le Mans” without following it with “24 Hours”. And that tells you how renowned the event has become since it started in 1923. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the oldest motor race still going and remains one of the ultimate tests of skill and endurance, for driver and vehicle, as the car is at full throttle for 85% of the race.

The circuit is a site of pilgrimage for motorsport fanatics and a noteworthy piece of modern heritage for everyone else.

Some sections of the track are used as public roads for a lot of the year, while the race itself normally falls on a weekend in mid-June.

6. Musée des 24 Heures du Mans

Only a race as fabled as the Le Mans 24 Hours is worthy of its own museum.

Petrol-heads will no doubt get the most out of the attraction, but most people will appreciate the machinery gathered here.

Of the 120 vehicles on show, 40 are race-cars that competed in the event.

The museum also recounts the story of how the race came about and introduces you to some of the memorable personalities in its storied history.

As well as the many competing vehicles you’ll see the official Audi safety car, vintage filling stations, heritage cars from the early days of automobiles  and goggles and race suits from former champions.

7. Historic Houses

With a helping hand from the tourist office there’s a whole inventory of marvellous old houses to cross off your list as you stroll.

The stunning Maison d’Adam et Ève at 69 Grande-Rue is wrongly named, as the fine renaissance relief above the door actually shows Ariadne and Bacchus instead of Adam and Eve.

The large Hôtel de Vignolles on Place Saint-Pierre, with its sharp sloping roof is from 1549 and would have stuck out like a sore thumb in Le Mans at the time because of its distinct Parisian design.

Finally, the 16th-century Maison de la Tourelle, tucked behind the cathedral,  is named for the cute turret sticking out of one corner of the house, and has lovely gables and a castellated chimney stack.

8. Local Delicacies

Le Mans is a serious carnivore city, with a reputation for the quality of its meat that goes back to the middle ages.

That goes for pork and beef, but especially poultry such as capons and guinea fowl, and in most dishes they’re prepared with potatoes and mushrooms, which are also plentiful in the Sarthe countryside.

But the delicacy that comes to mind most when people think of Le Mans is Rillettes.

This is chopped, salted pork cooked very slowly in fat for up to ten hours until it becomes a pâté smooth enough to spread on baguettes.

Rillettes are sold in a glass pots and also come in duck, chicken and fish varieties.

9. Abbaye de l’Epau

One of France’s finest Cistercian abbeys is on the edge of Le Mans and dates to 1229, founded by Queen Berengaria.

She would die there one year later and is buried at the abbey, even if the exact location of her remains is unclear – though her gisant (tomb effigy) is easy to find.

As you wander this peaceful abbey, keep your eye out for historic flourishes, like the lovely arches on the south facade, the traceries in the rosette, 14th-century frescos and the 13th-century door to the refectory.

10. Musée De Tessé

Le Mans’ museum of fine arts in the former Episcopal palace and shines for its trove of Ancient Egyptian archaeology.

These were donated to the museum by the early-19th-century explorer Édouard de Montulé and are composed of some 125 pieces dating as far back as 6,000 years.

The marquee exhibit is the gilded sarcophagus of the priest Nakhmontou from the 17th dynasty, 3,500 years ago.

The painting galleries give you a good summary of the development of European art, from the medieval Italian primitives like Bartolomeo Bulgarini up to the 19th-century landscape painter Camille Corot who influenced the impressionists.

11. Maison de la Reine Bérengère

If you remember  the La Nuit des Chimères, Queen Berengaria was portrayed as a ghost on the side of these three 15th-century half-timbered houses.

Well, the story goes that she died in a building that stood here before, even if that’s unlikely to be true.

The buildings you see now have been well looked-after and number 9 has carvings of the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin and Italian arabesques in the facade.

Go in for a museum recording Le Mans’ historic trades like pewter and weaving, and showing paintings and photos of the city from the 19th century.

On the top floor is an eccentric cache of old finials (ornaments that once crowned the roofs of houses in the city).

12. Arche de la Nature

Only ten minutes from the heart of Le Mans and you’re in a nature park managed by the city and measuring more than 450 hectares.

It’s hard to imagine a better way to inform young minds about our relationship with nature and farming.

Trails within pine, chestnut and oak forest deliver you to different attractions, like the Maison de l’Eau that teaches about topics like water treatment and has an aquarium with regional freshwater species like trout, bream and barbel.

Then there’s the Maison de la Prairie with apiaries made of glass to show you the bees at work and all the farm animals of the Sarthe.

Then, deep in the, forest is La Maison de la Forêt with large pens for regional wild species like deer, boar, partridges and pheasants.

13. Musée Vert

As is often the way, Le Mans’ museum of natural history has its roots in high society cabinets of curiosities from the 18th century.

The Revolution soon opened things up for everyone, and a forerunner of the Musée Vert, with many of the current specimens, opened in 1799. There are 400,000 items in all, for geology, botany, palaeontology and zoology.

Certainly here in the early days were many of the 100,000 shells,  a good few of which belong to molluscs that have since become extinct.

In the petrology department are meteorites collected in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the paleontology rooms are loaded with fossils from the Mesozoic Era, between 252 and 66 million years ago.

14. Spaycific’Zoo

Le Mans has plenty to keep littler tourists entertained, and a fun day out can be had at the nearby zoo, with more than 600 animals.

The park’s Exotarium will put you inches away from tropical creepy-crawlies like snakes, crustaceans, frogs, lizards, spiders and insects.

There’s an Australian zone, where wallabies and dingoes are given  a lot of space to roam.

But the star of the show in this section are the Keas, large alpine parrots from New Zealand, notorious at the zoo for their cheekiness and mischief.

The African Aviary is the second-largest aviary in the country, 12 metres in height and one of the only places where marabou storks can fly in captivity (they have a three-metre wingspan).

15. Papéa Parc

And last of all, for kids under ten there’s a small theme park where you could pass half a day.

For infants there are safe climbing areas, bouncy castles, carousels and a petting zoo.

And then a variety of rollercoasters, a swing boat, log flume and more exhilarating fairground rides like the Cyclone and the Apache are on hand for bigger kids.

There are restaurants and kiosks around the park, including a Crêperie, and lots of shady woodland and green lawns for picnics.

Le Mans travel guide

Visit Le Mans (Pays de la Loire, France)

Le Mans is found about 80 kilometres north of Tours , and south of Alencon . Known as the Cité Plantagenet, it is here in Le Mans that in 1129 Geoffrey Plantagenet married Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England and gave birth to Henry II.

To many of course, Le Mans means nothing apart from a 24 hour racing spectacle once a year (if you are not interested in cars and car racing, it is best to avoid visiting Le Mans in the middle of June) however Le Mans also has a fantastic old town and is well worth a visit.

Exploring Le Mans

Unlike the medieval quarters of most towns and cities in France, that of Le Mans is completely separate to the modern day town. It lies high above the town and is almost spookily quiet after the noise of the thriving city below. The magnificent St Julien Cathedral can be seen from below and can be reached by walking up the steps from the car park in the Place des Jacobins.

The old town has lovely narrow streets, stone houses, many with intricate details, colombage (timbered buildings) and the lovely slate rooves common to this area of France. There are numerous half-timbered medieval houses in Le Mans dating from the 14th to 16th centuries: the best known is the 'Maison du Pilier rouge', from the 16th century and on Grand Rue, with its easily recognisable red-painted wooden structure.

Interestingly you can tell which houses are the oldest by the design. The houses that have upper floors that protrude forwards of the lower stories are the oldest (typically 15th century), with the extended upper floors serving to increase floor space upstairs, and to protect the entrance from rain.

The best place to see this is the group of houses along Rue de la Rene-Berengere, where the Maison du Drapier and Maison de la Reine-Berengere stand either side of the slightly more recent Maison de l'Ave-Maria.

The Le Mans tourist information office is sited in the Maison du Pilier rouge. In recent years work has been carried out to restore the woodwork of the timbered houses to their original colours. As well as the red pillared house there are others with timbers painted in blue and green.

The presence of many timbered slats in the houses along with intricate stonework denotes a bourgeoise house, i.e. the home of one of the wealthier inhabitants of the medieval city.

Saint Julien cathedral

The highlight is the St Julien cathedral which was built between the 11th and 15th centuries. It is a mixture of styles because of the long time taken to build it and is one of the largest cathedrals in France.

At the main entrance of the Le Mans cathedral you can see a stone menhir which was raised by the prehistoric people who lived here in 4000-5000 BC. The menhir which became a pagan symbol for fertility was saved from destruction by Saint-Julien who came to Le Mans in the 4th century.

Other highlights

Opposite Le Mans cathedral on the Place du Cardinal Grente is the Bishop’s house, a lovely 16th century building and next to it the Pilgrim’s house, also 16th century.

Within the old town you can visit the museum of Reine Berengere where you can see pictures and maps of the old Le Mans as well as popular art of the region.

Much remains of the Roman wall around the old town which is one of the best preserved in Europe. Four of its original five towers still remain. At one of these a lovely little medieval style garden has been created and within it are some of the stone balls hurled against the town by the Count of Salisbury during his assault of 1425.

The Royal Palace (now the Town hall) is an impressive ensemble of buildings in part dating back to the 11th-12th centuries, next to the little Isaac river. You can descend by steep stairways that pass through the roman walls to the river below and the Roman baths.

Local attractions

Every night in July and August Le Mans features an incredible light show put on in the streets of the old town. Various facades of the Plantaganet City are lit up with scenes created by Skertzo. A free spectacle not to be missed.

Down below in the modern town of Le Mans you can visit the Tessé museum which is in the Bishop’s Palace on the edge of Tessé park. This museum contains the city’s fine art collection and has added a large space dedicated to ancient Egypt and includes two full scale models of Egyptian tombs.

For garden lovers as well as the Tessé park there is also, close by, a ten acre botanical garden designed by André Alphand.

Film enthusiasts will recognise parts of the old city as many films include scenes of Le Mans. The most famous is ’Cyrano de Bergerac’ with Gerard Depardieu, and others include ‘Man in the Iron Mask’ and ’The 3 Musketeers‘.

And of course there is the ’Le Mans race‘, more correctly known as the "24 Hours of Le Mans sports car race" or ‘The Le Mans 24 Hours‘, which takes place on public roads (closed for the day!) and has been held since 1923. This takes place in mid-June each year. There is a driver's parade on the eve of the race allowing you to meet the competitors and their cars.

Enthusiasts can visit the museum of the 24 Heures du Mans and discover the history of the course and the heros that have made it legendary, 120 mythical cars, a unique collection of miniatures and exclusive items from the history of the automobile.

It is also possible to visit the circuit: accompanied by a guide who tells anecdotes about the race you will discover what it is like behind the scenes, see the Press Room and the podium where you will feel the thrill of a triumph at Le Mans. Both self-guided and guided visits are available.

For vintage car fans there is the ‘Le Mans Classic’ in July every second year. This is one of the leading vintage car events worldwide and includes 5000 vintage club cars.

Le Mans visitors pass and walking route

Be sure to ask for the 'Plantagenet City route map' in the Le Mans Tourist Office, which shows very well all the highlights of the old city, and how to find them by following four suggested routes through the city.

For a reduced price (approx.12 euros for 24 hours or 19 euros for 48 hours) you can buy a city pass that allows entry to: Abbey l'Epau; Automobile Museum; Tessé Museum; Reine-Bérengère Museum; the Green Museum; the maison de l'Eau, the Donjon de Ballon, and includes a guided tour of the town and a boat trip - worthwhile if you plan on visiting a few of these Le Mans attractions.

24 Hours of Le Mans Circuit

The 24 hours of le mans, created in 1923, provides a circuit of 13.626 km including the bugatti circuit and main roads open to the public all year round., bugatti circuit, permanent 4.185 km circuit designed in 1965.

In existence since 1950, it is the Eiffel Tower of the circuit. Located on the bend of the same name, from it you can see the 8,000 hectares of the circuit, explaining the name Panorama.

Redesigned in 1999, it provides great safety for the drivers in big national and international races organised by the ACO.

Opposite the podium, the speed of the cars was too great. Henry Ford II came to see his cars’ victories in 1966 and paid for the installation of a chicane that bears his name.

Open in 2015, this showcase of the famous Stuttgart bears witness to the common history between Porsche and Le Mans.

The official grandstand in 1949, it hosted the media centre, which was at the time a very modern place for journalists. In 2014, it was upgraded to house the 24 Hours of Le Mans Drivers’ Club.

Review: The Museum of the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Le Musée des 24 Heures du Mans (“The Museum of the 24 Hours of Le Mans”) sits right next to the famous 24hr racetrack outside the city of Le Mans, and this year the museum is celebrating its 60th anniversary.

History of the 24 hours of Le Mans

It all starts with the birth of the automobile industry itself. One of the early French pioneers, bell-maker Amédée Bollée, moved to the town of Le Mans in the département of the Sarthe (a river) in 1842, and began working on his passion, steam powered carriages. He built his amazingly successful 12-seater Obéissante (“Obedient”) car in 1873, which immediately proved itself by driving from Paris to Le Mans in 18 hours!

Suddenly Le Mans was the place to be for budding automobile engineers & entrepreneurs (It still is. The automobile industry is the second largest employer in the region after agriculture). As the industry grew, France became enthralled with the glamorous new tech and the Automobile Club de France (ACF) was formed in 1895. Eleven years later, the ACF licensed the département of Sarthe to run a ‘Grand Prix’ race. It would be the birth of Formula 1.

The Automobile Club de la Sarthe, which later became the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) was created to organise the race on a 103-kilometre circuit, on which Hungarian driver Ferenc Szisz triumphed in a Renault.

That one-off event triggered the idea of an annual motor race, but not focused just on speed. Rather – for the benefit of local, national and international car manufacturers who wanted to demonstrate the speed and reliability of their vehicles – the race was to be focused on endurance. The concept of a 24 hour race was born, and the first took place on 26 May 1923 when 33 cars set off around a 17-kilometre circuit outside Le Mans. The “Grand Prix of Speed and Endurance/Rudge-Withworth Cup” was won by a Chenard & Walcker car driven by André Lagache and René Léonard, at an average 92 kph.

The 24 hours of Le Mans – Race and Track

The race is won by the car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours. Although there is an overall winner, cars also compete in a number of classes .

There must be at least three drivers for each car. Individual drivers cannot drive for more than 4 hours in any 6 hour period, and no single driver can spend more than 14 hours at the wheel in total. Drivers are swapped during fuel stops when the engine must be switched off. It’s another test of reliability – they don’t always switch back on!

The 13.6 km (8.5 mile) ‘Circuit de la Sarthe’ comprises both permanent race track and public roads that are closed for the race. The public roads include the famous 6 kilometre long straight section of the D338 leading into the village of Mulsanne – aka the Mulsanne Straight. I didn’t realise I was on it until I noticed all the scaffolding TV camera towers and fencing being put up as we drove into Le Mans!

The Mulsanne Straight was ‘nerfed’ in 1990 when, for safety reasons, the motor sport governing body, the FIA, disallowed straights longer than 2 km. To be fair, by then cars were getting up to speeds over 400 kph/250 mph! Two chicanes now break the straight up into 3 x 2 km sections.

The 24-hour Le Mans race traditionally takes place on the second weekend of June. This year it was held in August which is how my visit to the museum coincided with practise day! The race itself usually starts in the afternoon on Saturday and finishes at the same time on Sunday. These days there are typically around 60 cars competing.

As an annual event (the schedule has only been interrupted by war, political upheaval and pandemics) it quickly established grandstands, pits, race control and other buildings on the permanent section of race track, which also forms part of the shorter and much twistier permanent ‘Bugatti Circuit’ (the hashed line on map above) which is used for car and motorcycle racing at other times of the year.

The most often asked question about the 24 Hours of Le Mans race is: “What happened to the ‘Le Mans start’?” In the early days cars were lined up on one side of the track and drivers had to run across the track, start up and race off. This was finally dropped, again for safety reasons, in 1970. Too many drivers were being injured in the congested early laps because, in order to shave seconds off their start, they were not putting on their safety harnesses properly.

The 24 hours of Le Mans Museum

The original ‘Automobile Museum de la Sarthe’ opened in 1961, but in 1991 the Automobile Club de l’Ouest moved it into its present home right by the race track. While the focus is on the cars and history of the 24 hours of Le Mans, it also tells the story of the local automobile industry. The permanent exhibition of historic cars, documents, film and photographs is supplemented with a rolling programme of themed temporary exhibitions.

Cars, are of course the main exhibits and at any one time the permanent & temporary exhibitions can display between 100 – 140 historic vehicles. Some of them are fabulous!

The galleries and displays are laid out in a circular tour through the building, starting with a hall of fame featuring some of the big brands and personalities of the 24 hours of Le Mans – everybody from Bentley, Jaguar & Ferrari to Ferry Porsche, Henry Ford II, Ettori Bugatti, & Steve MacQueen.

If you wanted to show off every winning car since 1923, but didn’t have the space for the real things, the model room is a pretty good alternative.

This large circular room with hundreds of detailed models is a fantastic resource for Le Mans fans and petrol heads, who can spend ages seeking out their favourite winners. Actually it’s not that hard, the collection is laid out chronologically.

It’s not all cars. Motorbikes also race at Le Mans, on the shorter Bugatti Circuit. The ACO set up the 24hr Moto in 1978, and in a nod to the old car starts, riders still have to run to their bikes at the start!

There are some spectacular bikes, and some classic vintage models like this 1913 2hp Lion Peugeot Moto Légère MD2. Note the pedals. This was in the crossover period between bicycles and motorised bicycles. Yup, we’d call it a moped today!

After the bikes, come the cars, starting with some classic vintage automobiles from the era before the 24 hour race. The man who, it’s generally agreed, kicked off the industry in Le Mans, Amédée Bollée, built this sophisticated 2-cylinder, 12 hp Type D Limousine in 1901. Who says radiators have to be flat?!

And his son, Léon Bollée, created this elegant 4-cylinder, 24 hp Type G1 Torpédo in 1912.

This Lancia Type 67 Lambda Torpédo (open tourer) marked a significant milestone in automobile development. It had a monocoque body (no chassis) and independent suspension on the front wheels. It was considered state-of-the-art when it was built in 1923… the same year the Le Mans 24hr started. Its 49 horsepower V4 engine took it up to 113 kph. Over 1,300 were made.

Even in the early years of the 24 hours of Le Mans race, competing automobiles had style and elegance. Perhaps none more so than Ettori Bugatti’s cars. This 1929 Type 40 tourer didn’t race, but plenty of Type 40s did.

But then aerodynamics took over and cars began to be streamlined and began to look rather similar. The path back through the other side of the museum takes visitors past the cars that dominated the 24 hours of Le Mans race from post World War II to the present day.

Some pre-war race cars *before* aerodynamics dominated car design!

What’s special about this car? The Morgan Onroak LMP2 from 2016 was designed for handicapped drivers, the cockpit could quickly be adapted at changeover for different drivers.

The Museum of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is something of a shrine for petrol heads. Many make the pilgrimage to the Circuit de la Sarthe to visit it year round, but on race days (I was there on the Friday/practice day) it is especially busy. So I was surprised at how easy it was to move around, look at exhibits, and even get some clear photos without people in the way. The museum feels packed with amazing exhibits, but not cramped.

Declaration: I was travelling in the area as a guest of the Pays du Mans tourist office . Museum entry was complementary.

It’s a little distance outside Le Mans itself, so it is easiest to self-drive, and there’s plenty of car parking space on non-race days!

Alternatively, you can get a train to Le Mans and then a taxi, OR a tram from the centre of town out to the “Antares” stop, then a lengthy walk, OR the 3, 17 & 12 bus routes go from the centre out to the racetrack.

If you are flush with cash, the Le Mans Aerodrome is next door!

Le Mans Circuit

Located south of the city, on the road to Tours, the 24 Hours circuit has changed since its creation in 1923. The origin of this circuit is closely related to the Grand Prix of France, which took place in the Sarthe in 1906 . This endurance race took place over two days and in a larger route connecting the following towns: Le Mans, Saint-Calais and La Ferte Bernard. After many adventures followed with many transactions, the 24 Hours circuit was born in 1923 under the leadership of three men: Georges Durand, founder of the Information Centre of the Alpes Mancelles, Charles Faroux and journalist Emile Coquille, director of Rudge bicycles -Whitworth. Since its inception, the length of the plot (17.262 km) was gradually reduced to 13 629 km to provide optimal security related to technological change, especially as the cars approach the speed of 400 km / h on the Mulsanne Straight ... The famous Le Mans 24 Hours race is the major event of motor sport and the highlight of the FIA ​​World Endurance. Used ten days a year, the 24 Hours circuit was completed by the realization of permanent circuits: in 1966 "the Bugatti Circuit" (4.185 km long) and then in 1976, "Circuit of The White House" (2, 9 km). These allow the exploitation of tracks throughout the year for different events or events related to motor sports: Le Mans Classic (1st July weekend, even years), Le Mans Story, The Grand Prix of France, the 24 Hours Motorcycles , the 24 Hours Trucks ...

In addition of your coming on the tour, visit the 24 Hours museum is a must!

How to Turn on the Radar in Le Mans Ultimate

Avoid collisions at the crucial moment by turning on the radar in Le Mans Ultimate with this guide.

Published: Feb 23, 2024, 12:07 pm Updated: Feb 23, 2024, 12:08 pm

Endurance racing is one of the hardest racing classes in the world. Maintaining concentration for large periods of time takes its toll, with collisions inevitable, especially during the night. The same is the case in virtual endurance racing, but thankfully the virtual world has a tool the real world does not.

Table of Contents

Crashing out, how to turn on the radar in le mans ultimate, le mans ultimate guides.

Let’s take a look at how to turn on the radar in Le Mans Ultimate .

You know how it goes, you’re coming towards the end of a gruelling endurance race, you can see the finish line in sight, and then you crash out of the race because you didn’t see that car on your inside.

Being aware of your surroundings is one of the hardest aspects of endurance racing. Staying concentrated for hours at a time, including during the early hours of the morning, is key to getting through the race in one piece. But there’s always that moment when a car passes you that you didn’t even know was there.

In the real world, not seeing a rival out on track is a potential race-ender. The same is true in sim racing, with that lapse in focus potentially undoing the perfect race performance. Thankfully, it is possible to turn on a radar in Le Mans Ultimate, but it’s not always easy.

There are two main ways to turn on the radar in Le Mans Ultimate. Both utilise the Tiny Pedal plugin for iRacing.

The first and easiest method to enable the radar is to use SimHub . Simply head to the Le Mans hub, click on ‘Game/Telemetry config’, then enable automatic game configuration. Easy!

If you don’t use SimHub, it is also possible to manually add the required plugins for the radar to work. This does, however, require a lot more work.

First, you need to install the Tiny Pedals plugin. This can be found via the plugin’s GitHub page . This plugin has been designed specifically for iRacing, however, so we need to get it to work with Le Mans Ultimate.

Luckily for us, creator Dan Suzuki has the solution. You can watch his full Le Mans Ultimate radar tutorial below:

Once you’ve downloaded and installed the necessary files, head into Le Mans Ultimate while making sure you have Tiny Pedals running. It’s important to note that the game must be running in windowed or windowed borderless mode for Tiny Pedals to work correctly.

In Tiny Pedals, scroll down the ‘Widget’ tab until you find the radar widget. Switch this to on, and you’re ready to race.

If you want to customise things further, make sure that the ‘Lock overlay’ and ‘grid mode’ options are unchecked. This will allow you to move the radar to where you need it onscreen. You can also adjust the various options in the radar config to make it more to your liking.

Now you can hit the track without hitting the competition.
