Bol d'Or
SEPTEMBER 17–20, 2026

Bol d'Or

The world's oldest 24-hour motorcycle race closes out the Riviera's late-summer racing season.

Circuit Paul Ricard hosts the 89th Bol d'Or, the world's oldest 24-hour motorcycle endurance race and the finale of the FIM Endurance World Championship. Riders run the 5.7-kilometre layout through the night, hitting well over 300 kilometres an hour down the 1.8-kilometre Mistral Straight before the sun comes back up. Three weeks earlier, the circuit's Dix Mille Tours historic meeting brings its own weekend of classic and vintage racing to Le Castellet, making late summer a genuine stretch of motorsport on the Côte d'Azur.


Zeus Prestige delivers luxury and exotic car rental across the Riviera for both weekends, based out of Marseille or wherever your trip along the coast starts.


The Collection for Riviera Race Season


Availability is limited for both weekends, book early to guarantee your choice.


Rent the Ferrari Portofino M


The V8 note carries differently on the open roads around Le Castellet than it does in city traffic, roof down for as much of the drive as the weather allows.


Hire the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet


Composed through the hills inland from the circuit, roof down for as much of the Côte d'Azur's coastal roads as the trip allows.


Rent the Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder


For a weekend built around speed and noise, the V10 fits the Mistral Straight's reputation better than almost anything else in the fleet.


Hire the Range Rover Sport


Built for the group trip version of this weekend, the drive from Marseille out to Le Castellet handled with the same ease as the rest of the Riviera.


Circuit Paul Ricard


Le Castellet sits inland from the coast between Marseille and Toulon, its blue-and-red runoff areas among the most recognisable in motorsport. The Mistral Straight remains one of the fastest sections on any European circuit, a genuine test for both the bikes racing it during the Bol d'Or and the endurance of the riders and teams running through the night.


FAQs


How far is Circuit Paul Ricard from Marseille?


Roughly an hour's drive, close enough to base yourself in the city and still make the most of race weekend.


Can I attend both the Dix Mille Tours and the Bol d'Or on one trip?


The two events sit about three weeks apart in late August and mid-September, so a longer stay on the Riviera in between would let you catch both, with plenty of coastline to fill the gap.


What documents do I need to rent?


A full driving license held for at least three years, a valid passport, and an International Driving Permit if your license was issued outside the EU.


Why choose Zeus Prestige to hire a car for race weekend?


Model Guaranteed: rent a specific model and that's the car waiting for you, not a similar one.


Fully Insured: comprehensive coverage is included in every rental, no counter surprises when you arrive.


Delivered to You: we bring the car to your hotel, the airport, or wherever suits, and collect it the same way.

Curated Fleet: every car in the collection is current-generation and immaculately maintained, chosen for how it drives rather than how it photographs.
