The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the ultimate tests of stamina and speed, endurance and energy, and it's all coming live to your screens this weekend.

The 91st edition of the iconic endurance race will push drivers to their limits as they each seek to navigate gruelling stints.

Teams of three drivers are handed time in the car between 45 minutes and four hours. Whichever trio completes the furthest distance in the allotted 24-hour window will be crowned champions.

Last year saw ex-Formula 1 drivers Sebastien Buemi and Brendon Hartley join forces with Ryo Hirakawa to claim a fifth successive victory for Toyota Gazoo Racing. Buemi has won four titles, Hartley has triumphed three times, while this was Hirakawa's maiden title.

Fans around the world will be excited to tune in once more to see whether that same trio can make it back-to-back wins on the hallowed circuit at Le Mans.
