Record 62-car grid announced for the Le Mans 24 Hours 2025

Ferrari seeks a hat-trick as eight manufacturers compete in the Hypercar class

Share:

The Automobile Club de l'Ouest has released the provisional entry list for the upcoming 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, scheduled from June 11 to 15, 2025. A full grid of 62 cars will compete in what is shaping up to be an event with intense rivalry across all categories.

Eight manufacturers compete for glory in Hypercar

The main category, Hypercar, features 21 entries representing eight different manufacturers: Alpine, Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Peugeot, Porsche, and Toyota.

Ferrari arrives as the team to beat after winning the last two editions at La Sarthe. Its momentum continues following an impressive performance at the opening round of the FIA World Endurance Championship 2025 in Qatar, where its 499P prototypes occupied the top three positions on the podium.

Porsche, with 19 overall victories, remains the most successful manufacturer in Le Mans history. They have strengthened their lineup for 2025, adding an additional 963 Hypercar to the Porsche Penske Motorsport team—the same model that secured pole position last year.

Cadillac will double its presence with four cars this year, including a debut entry from Wayne Taylor Racing, a prominent IMSA team. Meanwhile, Aston Martin returns to the top category with two Valkyries powered by V12 engines.

The LMGT3 class presents a diverse lineup of manufacturers

The LMGT3 category showcases an equally competitive field with cars from Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, Ferrari, Ford, Lexus, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG, and Porsche. Mercedes-AMG returns to Le Mans for the first time in over 25 years.

Motorcycle racing legend Valentino Rossi, a nine-time world champion on two wheels who made an impressive debut at Le Mans last year, will return with BMW. Additional entries from Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG, and Porsche complete a 24-car lineup in this class, with two Ferraris on reserve.

The LMP2 category attracts high-profile talent

The LMP2 division will feature 17 cars plus three reserves. Notable drivers include the 2023 Formula 2 champion Théo Pourchaire and multiple-time W Series winner Jamie Chadwick. Chadwick will race for IDEC Sport as part of Genesis Magma Racing's preparations for its planned entry into Hypercar in the FIA WEC in 2026.

Across the three classes, the current entry list includes 16 previous winners of the race, adding experience and prestige to an already stellar lineup.

Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, commented on the exceptional quality of the grid. The FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, expressed his anticipation for this year's edition. The CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship, Frédéric Lequien, emphasized that the quality of the grid in all categories demonstrates the enduring appeal of the race.

Last year's event attracted a record 329,000 spectators who witnessed an extraordinarily close race—the top nine finishers completed the same number of laps, an unprecedented result in the history of the event.

The 2025 edition, which will serve as the fourth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, will offer double points due to its duration and status.

I’ve had a passion for motorsport since my childhood. Even as a child, I used to often have a camera between my hands. Later, I professionalized in the audiovisual field and then the idea to mix these two passions for racing and photography came up. Now, I mainly cover WEC and endurance racing, but also local hillclimb events.
