The grand final of Mayotte’s traditional “Course de pneus” — a local tire-racing competition — is set to air live Sunday, June 28, on Mayotte La 1ère, the territory’s public TV channel.
Mayotte La 1ère is part of Outre-mer La 1ère, France Télévisions’ network serving France’s overseas territories, meaning the broadcast is positioned to reach viewers beyond Mayotte itself.
A rare national spotlight for a local tradition
The announcement, published June 27, 2026, on the Outre-mer La 1ère website, frames the live broadcast as recognition of a cultural practice rooted in Mayotte, a French territory in the Indian Ocean.
According to the information provided, airing the final on the public broadcaster reflects the place given to cultural and sporting events in France’s overseas territories, while also increasing visibility for Mayotte through a network carried nationally within the Outre-mer La 1ère bouquet.
