When Beverly Hills meets the 24 Hours of Le Mans… Unbelievable, but true! a few days ago Western France has announced that France Télévisions will soon broadcast on its antenna a new detective fiction called Mort sur la piste.

“Death on the track” soon on France 3
Exclusively, AlloCiné can now provide more information about this ambitious and already highly anticipated project. This is how the story begins in the spring of 2023, a few days before the centenary of the famous international motor race… teams and drivers are on the starting blocks.
When the first tests of the 24 Hours of Le Mans had just begun, the driver’s body was found on the track. This was submitted voluntarily. Captain Sabrina Nejardi is leading the investigation. He is exceptionally accompanied by American observer Ryan Martin, a member of the LAPD, who is present as part of the exchange.

The investigation leads them to the warehouses and workshops of the famous amateur family team at Le Mans, where the relationship between an authoritarian and charismatic father and his sons is disturbed by racing bets. What’s more, it turns out that the American cop is actually a former driver of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, who doesn’t come back by accident…
Jason Priestley is sure to slip into Ryan Martin’s shoes. He will answer to Eleanor Bernheim (Sabrina Nejardi), Olivier Marshall (Antoine Palestro), Robbie Schinas (Thomas Palestro) or Olivia Curbis (Lieutenant Estelle). Philippe Dajou will be in charge of producing this installment for France 3, with a script by Mathieu Savignac and Didier Neurac.
Filming begins this Wednesday, April 12th, and will conclude on May 12th at Le Mans, most notably at the legendary circuit.
