Fighting counterfeiting
The 24 Hours of Le Mans and Le Mans brands, as well as our circuit layouts, are regularly targeted by counterfeiters. Buying an official product means supporting quality, innovation, and the protection of our intellectual property.
WHY TAKE ACTION?
The risks associated with counterfeiting

Some counterfeit products may contain toxic substances, be manufactured far from our borders, and generate waste that is difficult to recycle.
Health and Safety
Counterfeits do not always comply with applicable standards and may pose a risk to consumers.
Economy and Employment
Counterfeiting fuels unfair competition, weakens businesses, destroys jobs, and harms the economy.

Fraudulent websites may not have secure payment systems, exposing customers to the theft of personal or banking data.
