Can I bet on the Le Mans 24 Hour race?

I'm not a gambler (in the betting shop sense of the word), but once a year I'll go to my local 'turf accountant' and have a punt on the Grand National. Many of us follow the same pattern. It's a bit of fun and something of a tradition here in the UK.

I know Motor racing is not a big betting arena for the bookies in the same way that horse racing is their lifeblood, but I'd quite like to have a punt on the outcome of Le Mans. It is without doubt one of the biggest events on the motor racing calendar yet it appears none of the online bookmakers even recognise the race, let alone display any odds.

Am I looking in the wrong place or is Le Mans indeed a non-event in the eyes of the bookmakers?

Dauer 962 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Last year a certain online bookmaker which supports the WTCC offered various Le Mans bets, I guess they will also do so this year. Check their website during the race week.

Any decent bookmaker will allow you to walk in and ask for the odds on any event. You might not like the odds. Motor racing is a good one to bet on because there is a chance you know more than the bookie. However that situation has become less favourable in recent years IMHO. They are getting smarter, although it is only really F1 and WRC that they cover, so a less mainstream part of the sport could still offer some good punts.

Having won on the Grand National this year for the first time for about 20 years, I guess I ought to have a punt on the 24 Hours to see if my luck's still in.........

Surely one of the PMU's in the town run a bet . There is a PMU down where the drivers are interviewed for the parade on the friday , beside the seafood restaurant .
