The 24 Hours of Le Mans is rolling out the red carpet for its legendary 100th-anniversary race this Saturday. American icons and two of the greatest in their respective sports, LeBron James and Tom Brady, grace the event in France for the grueling endurance race, as reported by Eurosport.

The ambiance surrounding one of motor racing’s biggest events becomes even more extraordinary with the presence of these transcendent athletes in Le Mans. James, particularly thrilled for the occasion, had the honor of serving as the honorary starter for the proceedings.

The race lives up to its name, a grueling 24-hour battle on the track determined by the greatest distance covered. Brady and James weren’t the only notable guests in town.
