The 45 Minutes du Bugatti avec Michelin (English: 45 Minutes of Bugatti with Michelin), is the fifth event of the second season of Really Rubbish Racing competition.

The event takes place on the most unloved pieces of tarmac of Europe's greatest motor racing circuit: the 2.6 mile Bugatti Circuit layout of the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France. The full-length track is famous for hosting the annual 24 Heures du Mans sportscar endurance race, whilst the Bugatti layout is infamous for holding a single running of the Formula One French Grand Prix in 1967, after wich the race moved to somewhere more interesting.

The race's name mimics the name of the day-long endurance event, replacing the 24 hours with the 45 minutes the 2 races will take to complete. Although interestingly, the lap count for the two races adds up to 24.

The circuit layout has changed since the 1960's, but is still relatively unloved in motor racing circles, especially in comparison to its bigger brother. Really Rubbish Racing is hoping that the circuit will be well-suited to touring car races, with several long straights leading into slow corners to provide overtaking opportunities.

The POWA team will be hoping to give their Renault Meganes a good result here in front of the French fans. This will also be the first RRR race for Icthyes.
