Motorsport has always attracted personalities driven by a taste for challenge, intensity, and pushing beyond limits. For the 49th edition of the 24 Heures Motos, one such personality will take center stage: Pio Marmaï, appointed as Official Starter.

A leading figure in French cinema, Pio Marmaï has stood out in major films such as The Three Musketeers (2023). More recently, he achieved wide public success with the Netflix series Néro (2025), confirming his status as a key figure in the French audiovisual landscape. He first made a lasting impression in 2008 with The First Day of the Rest of Your Life, a film that has since become cult for an entire generation. Praised for the accuracy of his performances and his energy, he brings to life characters driven by commitment and emotion—values perfectly aligned with the DNA of the 24 Heures Motos. This artistic recognition will also be in the spotlight, with his César nomination for his role in L’Attachement.

Beyond his acting career, Pio Marmaï is above all a motorcycle enthusiast. A dedicated rider, he regularly takes to the track and has long maintained a deep connection to the world of two wheels. A true collector, he owns several motorcycles, reflecting a genuine and unapologetic passion. This culture of riding, control, and precision naturally echoes the demands of the 24 Heures Motos.

Drawn to environments where adrenaline and intensity prevail, the actor shares with riders the same standards of focus, endurance, and self-improvement. These essential qualities—whether on a film set or on the track—create a clear link between his career and this legendary race in Le Mans. Far beyond a symbolic role, his presence as Official Starter embodies the meeting of two worlds united by passion.
