The ACO has revealed the broadcast figures for the 2023 Le Mans 24 Hours, which it claims produced the largest-ever remote audience for the race.

According to the ACO, no fewer than 196 countries were offered TV coverage of the event and an impressive 113 million viewers tuned in: two-and-a-half times more than last year.

In addition, the number of viewers from the USA increased sharply compared to previous years. Other key endurance racing nations such as Germany, Japan and Denmark also recorded notable audience figures.
