Le Mans 24-Hour rescheduled for June 12, Oschersleben postponed

Initially scheduled for mid-April, the 44th edition of the 24 Heures Motos will now take place on 12 and 13 June on the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans.

The Eight-Hours of Oschersleben cannot be held on 23 May in Germany. A later date is being sought.

Because of the current burden on hospitals, in early April the 24 Heures Motos organizer Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the International Motorcycling Federation FIM and Eurosport Events, the promoter of the FIM Endurance World Championship, announced the postponement of the 24 Heures Motos, the opening race of the 2021 season.

The 24 Heures Motos 2021 has been rescheduled and will now take place on 12 and 13 June on the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans. The race will be held behind closed doors, as in 2020, because of the public health situation.

As a result of stricter health restrictions in Germany, the Eight-Hours of Oschersleben cannot be held as scheduled on 23 May. The organiser, the FIM and Eurosport Events are already looking at possible later dates in the summer so as to maintain the race on the 2021 calendar.

With the revision of the calendar, the 24 Heures Motos is once again the opening race of the 2021 FIM EWC season.

François Ribeiro, Head of Eurosport Events said: “The new date for the 24 Heures Motos is essential for the FIM Endurance World Championship and for all the competing teams.

“Eurosport Events will go all out to make sure that the broadcast of this race behind closed doors is a thrilling experience for French fans as well as viewers around the world. We are also making every effort in Germany to find a later date for the Eight-Hours of Oschersleben.”
