In recent years, personalities such as Brad Pitt (2016) and Rafael Nadal (2018) have been “starters” of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With LeBron James, the event ensures – if necessary – strong media exposure with images that should feed the media around the world as well as social networks.
“I am delighted to welcome LeBron James on the occasion of the Centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and thank him very sincerely for accepting the role of Starter. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is known throughout the world and has, in its history, always welcomed big names from all walks of life. adds Pierre Fillon, president of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest. “LeBron James is a true sports legend with a list of records that commands admiration. We can’t wait to introduce him to the unique atmosphere that reigns on the circuit and the enthusiasm aroused by the Centenary of the greatest endurance race in the world. »
