The 24H SERIES powered by Hankook is set to visit eight current or former For-
mula 1 Grand Prix venues in 2021, including a first-time visit to Sebring Interna-
tional Raceway.

The 24H SERIES, which will be hosted once again by Dutch promoter
CREVENTIC, will feature eight 12 or 24-hour races set across seven countries
 and three continents in 2021.
 Tellingly, all but one of the nine endurance races scheduled for next year will
 take place at venues that either currently host a Formula 1 Grand Prix, or have
 done so in the past, three of which –
 the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, the Hockenheimring, and the
 Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya – have been F1 mainstays for several decades.

Next year’s calendar will also feature a revised championship structure,
with teams and drivers now invited to compete for one, all-encompassing
‘24H SERIES powered by Hankook’ title, as opposed to the
‘Europe’ and ‘Continents’ championships previously up for grabs in
2018, 2019 and 2020. Titles will continue to be available per class as usual.

We are using professional onboard camera equipment, supplied, installed and supported by
a professional partner.

During the race this live HD stream will be used many times by the TV-Director to show
the viewers all across the globe the real onboard experience.

Having an onboard camera means LIVE International coverage of your team which includes:

 HD Live streaming on the 24H SERIES YouTube & Facebook channel, with several fixerd cameras,
 manned cameras and a pit reporter
 No delay of the images in your pit box
 Live commentary of Radio Le Mans and coverage on www.radiolemans.com
 YouTube Link: you can send this link to your sponsors, partners, friends and family and everybody
 can follow the live onboard images wherever they are

Onboard footage is always a spectacular element in broadcast of motorsport, events and gives your team and sponsors the
opportunity for more media exposure.

Price of the onboard camera is 2.500,-

In the week leading up to the 24H SERIES events there will be unofficial private test sessions organized.
These sessions are regarded as not part of the official event.

The official test sessions can be booked by an entry package upgrade to Medium or Complete, or by booking the test sessions separately.
It is allowed to enter cars in the test sessions that do not take part in the race.

The date and times can be found in the time schedule of each specific event. The prices can be found in the entry costs overview document of the specific race.

Rent a car ride
At all 24H SERIES races a rent a car ride will take place with a duration of 45-60 minutes.
This is a nice opportunity for the drivers to learn the track and to show your sponsors the track.
