How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Gran Turismo 7 includes the full 13.6 km Le Mans circuit used for the 24 Hours, with and without the chicanes on the long Mulsanne Straight. This view looks along the pit straight at the main grandstand and the circuit's curved race control building.
The real place
The 24 Hours of Le Mans has been run here since 1923, making it the oldest endurance race still held. Much of the lap uses public roads that are closed for the race, including the Mulsanne Straight, while the start and finish area and the Bugatti circuit are permanent. The 24 Heures du Mans museum stands at the main entrance.
Visiting
Race week in June is the big draw, but the museum is open most of the year and you can drive the public sections of the lap, including the Mulsanne Straight, at normal road speeds. Le Mans is about an hour from Paris by TGV.
