About Planetlemans

Planetlemans is produced by a team of editors and photographers based in the Netherlands and linked to a series of media/editor partners around the world. The team is focused on Endurance and GT racing covering all major championships around the world. Clearly the Le Mans 24 Hours is the main event to which the team is committed but all rounds of the “Le Mans” labelled Endurance series around the world and the FIA-GT championship are featured prominently in our news coverage.

The vision

Planetlemans was born in 2002, approximately at the same time that the legendary Maison Blanche site was discontinued by Rick Wilson. The site quickly became one of the most popular Le Mans-related websites thanks to thorough and frequent coverage of the Endurance world. Daily news updates, high quality pictures, frontpage access to the popular ten-tenths forum and from-the-track reports compose the qualitative difference which Planetlemans is known for.

Publishing & frequency

On the main page of the site you’ll find the site’s most recent entry at the top followed by two main ‘columns’ beneath. The left hand column displays recent blog entries: these are short, reflective and informative pieces of writing updated twice weekly. The right hand column displays recent ‘featured articles’: these are more in-depth pieces that cover a wide array of performance-related topics and are published once every week.
