Live broadcast of the French Grand Prix (MotoGP 2024) at L'Esprit M - Bar Resto moto. Special opening at 1:30pm.
The Grand Prix has taken place on several circuits throughout its history. These include the Charade circuit (Puy-de-Dôme) from 1959 to 1967, and the Le Mans circuit on several occasions since 1969, alternating with the Paul Ricard circuit at Le Castellet. The Paul Armagnac circuit at Nogaro hosted the event in 1978 and 1982, while the Nevers Magny-Cours circuit only hosted the race once, in 1992.
In 1991, two world championship Grands Prix were held in France in the same year. The Grand-Prix de France on the Paul Ricard circuit on July 21. And the Le Mans Speedway Grand Prix on the Le Mans circuit on September 8 (replacing the Brazilian Grand Prix, which was cancelled for safety reasons).
Since 2000, the event has been held at Le Mans on the Bugatti circuit. Since its construction in 965, the circuit's layout has evolved no less than eight times, both to enhance its technical and safety features. It is 4,185 m long, with a 600-meter climb (3.5% to 7%) and a 1,000-meter descent (2%).
It's worth noting that the legendary Le Mans 24-hour race takes place on a different temporary track from that of the French Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Created in 1949, MotoGP is organized by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme. MotoGP is THE motorcycle speed race that brings together the world's elite riders. The world championship kicks off in Portugal in March and finishes in Valencia in November.
The new format, in place since 2012, brings together ultra-high-performance prototype machines of 1000cc or less. Each brand present tests and improves equipment that will later be found on our bikes. MotoGP is the technological showcase and research laboratory for the brands. It's an elite sport, like F1. Today, the premier class is dominated by the major manufacturers: Ducati, KTM, Yamaha, Aprilia, Honda and GasGas.
To enter MotoGP, two categories are run on the same circuits: Moto3 (single-cylinder, 250cc max, 55-60 hp, tiny 80kg weight) and Moto2 (single-engine, Triumph-supplied, 765cc, three-cylinder, 140 hp). These two categories are the stepping stones to MotoGP for young riders.
The competition takes place over 3 days for the 3 categories, including free practice, qualifying practice in 2 sessions and a big novelty this year, the sprint race. The sprint race takes place on Saturday in a shorter format (around 50% of the classic race). The MotoGP race takes place on Sunday, in the classic format.
Four giant screens installed in three separate areas (bar, cathedral room or lounge) and a top-quality sound system let you enjoy the event in the atmosphere of your choice: friendly, relaxed... with an aperitif.
The L'Esprit M - Bar Resto moto team will be on hand throughout the French Grand Prix (MotoGP 2024). On the drinks side, you'll enjoy our local beers, local wines and house cocktails. The menu also includes carefully selected softs and house mocktails designed and created by our barman. And if you're feeling peckish, enjoy our famous platters of regional specialities (charcuterie, cheese, mixed, vegan).
