FORMER MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper Fabian Barthez is set to take part in the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
The World Cup and Champions League-winning stopper, famed for his eccentric displays at Old Trafford, will compete against former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber and the rest of the field at the Circut de la Sarthe in June.
While Webber will be competing for Porsche – who go into the race in search of an 18th victory – Barthez is to drive for the Panis-Barthez Competition team he has formed with another ex-F1 driver in Olivier Panis.
And Webber feels that the presence of Barthez, six-time Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist Chris Hoy and a host of other F1 competitors at Le Mans shows the strength of the event.
