24 Hours of Le Mans Postponed To August March 4, 2021 written by Phil Allaway The Automobile Club d’Ouest (ACO) announced Thursday (March 4) that the 24 Hours of Le Mans, originally scheduled for June 12-13, has been postponed to the weekend of Aug. 21-22. The move has been made in part because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)’s press release indicates that they could have run the race as originally scheduled in June. However, had they done that, there is a good chance that it would have to be run behind closed doors for the second year in a row. That is a move that the ACO and the FIA would prefer not to make.
