The 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans will take place from 11-15 June 2025. Take a look at the poster unveiled on Tuesday 5 November and get ready to book your tickets.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans official poster mirrors the event itself&thinsp;&ndash;&thinsp;a fascinating combination of long-standing tradition and modern design. Over the years, it has become a true work of art that portrays the spirit and aura of the world&rsquo;s greatest endurance race.

The poster&rsquo;s design has changed significantly since the very first version in 1923. Often the culmination of a partnership between the Automobile Club de l&rsquo;Ouest and a communications agency, the Centenary poster was created by the graphic design team within the ACO&rsquo;s Communication &amp; CSR department. Regardless of who they work for, the talented designers entrusted with the task always seek to capture the spirit of the race, its historical legacy, and its future.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans poster is a snapshot of the race&rsquo;s stellar history or of the main protagonists entered in the World Endurance Championship. For race fans, it is a cherished collector&rsquo;s item. Some of the posters have become extremely rare, reflecting their significance in the worlds of art and racing. 
 
The poster for the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans illustrates the ongoing legacy of the iconic race combined with a resolutely modern vibe. It bridges generations in its evocation of the hand-painted posters of yesteryear. The compelling image fast-forwards us to the race start. The triumphant driver in the centre symbolises the personal and collective performance involved in getting to that moment.

24 Hours of Le Mans : check out the poster for the 93rd race!

BMW M Motorsport invited Valentino Rossi to test-drive the BMW M Hybrid V8 at the FIA WEC World Endurance Championship Rookie Test. The former MotoGP champion appeared at ease and demonstrated real speed at the wheel of the German hypercar.

The day after the Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain, the finale of the 2024 FIA WEC season, Valentino Rossi took his place in the cockpit of the BMW M Team WRT #20 BMW M Hybrid V8. The nine-time motorcycle Grand Prix world champion is now pursuing a career in endurance in the LMGT3 class, and readied himself for the Rookie Test using&nbsp;the BMW simulator in Munich. Rossi was able to get to grips with the German hypercar over the course of two sessions, totalling five hours of track time. He also benefited from advice from Ren&eacute; Rast.

Rossi recorded the&nbsp;second-fastest time among the rookie drivers, just a tenth of a second behind Arthur Leclerc.

Valentino Rossi:&nbsp;&ldquo;Today was a fantastic day. I had the chance to drive the BMW M Hybrid V8 for the entire day, with the whole crew and Ren&eacute; Rast who gave me advice. I enjoyed it a lot, the car is fantastic, very fast and very strong.&nbsp;&nbsp;It has a lot of power. The lap times were 15 seconds faster than in GT3. The tyres have great grip.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is a real race car. I was quite worried because I had never driven the Hypercar before, but I felt good from the first lap because the car is stable and gives good feedback.&nbsp;&nbsp;To go fast is very difficult, but it&rsquo;s a lot of fun. I have to say thank you for the great experience and I hope that I have another chance to try the car.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2>Arthur Leclerc excels</h2>

Ferrari development driver Arthur Leclerc certainly made his mark at the Rookie Test. He took the wheel of the #50 Ferrari&nbsp;499P of Ferrari AF Corse, winner of the last 24 Hours of Le Mans, and proved to be the fastest among the rookie drivers, finishing just&nbsp;eight hundredths behind Nicklas Nielsen. Victor Martins, who competes in the FIA Formula&nbsp;2 world championship, drove the Alpine&nbsp;A424 and came third. Phil Hanson made his debut at the wheel of the AF Corse #83 Ferrari&nbsp;499P&nbsp;which <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/fia-wec-af-corse-signs-up-phil-hanson-for-the-ferrari-499p-59095" target="_blank">he&rsquo;ll be driving next season</a>. He achieved the sixth-fastest time.

In the LMGT3 class, Ben Barnicoat put in a remarkable performance, outclassing the field in the Akkodis ASP Lexus RC F&nbsp;LMGT3 and setting a time almost seven-tenths of a second quicker than his rivals. Meanwhile, Mahaveer Raghunathan drove the Vista AF Corse Ferrari&nbsp;296 LMGT3, Saturday&rsquo;s race winner, and secured second place among the rookies, just ahead of Aur&eacute;lien Panis, son of former Monaco Grand Prix winner Olivier Panis, who shared the car with Barnicoat.

FIA WEC: Valentino Rossi impresses at the Rookie Test in the BMW M Hybrid V8

Porsche and Toyota both had reason to celebrate in the FIA World Endurance Championship in Bahrain today (2 November), as Kévin Estre, André Lotterer and Laurens Vanthoor clinched the FIA Hypercar World Endurance Drivers’ Championship while Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryō Hirakawa secured FIA Hypercar World Endurance Manufacturers’ Championship glory for Toyota.

The Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain was exciting and unpredictable from the outset, with the first major drama coming as early as lap ten when Buemi found himself punted out of the lead while lapping the #82 TF Sport Corvette. That dropped the Swiss star to seventh, and it was not until the closing stages that the pole-sitting #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GR010 clawed its way properly back into contention.

After leapfrogging Antonio Giovinazzi in the long-time race-leading #51 Ferrari AF Corse 499P and Vanthoor in the champion-elect #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963, Buemi embarked upon his final stint in second place, behind only Matt Campbell in the #5 Porsche Penske Hypercar. Exploiting his fresher tyres, the four-time world champion went on a charge, setting a scintillating new fastest lap as he mercilessly hunted his prey. The decisive move came with 40 minutes remaining &ndash; after which, the result never looked in doubt.&nbsp;

The #8 crew&rsquo;s success not only represented the first victory from pole position in WEC&rsquo;s headlining category this season, it also made it seven different winners from eight races and &ndash; far more significantly &ndash; secured Toyota its fourth consecutive Hypercar Manufacturers&rsquo; trophy.

Drivers&rsquo; honours, however, went the way of Porsche, with Estre, Lotterer and Vanthoor fulfilling their pre-event favourite tag by holding off their Ferrari and Toyota rivals to seal the deal. Astonishingly, none of the three championship contenders finished inside the points in Bahrain &ndash; for the first time in 2024 &ndash; but the #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport trio&rsquo;s results earlier on in the campaign proved more than sufficient to get the job done.

&nbsp;

<h2>Ferrari rolls the dice for LMGT3 glory</h2>

Vista AF Corse made it back-to-back successes in the LMGT3 class, in a race that could have gone a number of different ways &ndash; with multiple lead changes and an epic scrap for supremacy.

The key to the #55 Ferrari 296 LMGT3 crew&rsquo;s victory was a bold late call on strategy, making one less pit-stop than most of their competitors. Courtesy of a masterclass in tyre management, Alessio Rovera fended off a dual TF Sport Corvette threat in the final hour to cement the Italian outfit&rsquo;s second consecutive triumph in the car he shares with Fran&ccedil;ois Heriau and Simon Mann.

Corvette crews completed the podium-finishers, with the #81 piloted by Charlie Eastwood, Rui Andrade and Tom van Rompuy pipping the sister #82 entry &ndash; which had to battle back from an early penalty for the contact with Buemi &ndash; to the runner-up spoils.&nbsp;

FIA WEC : Toyota and Porsche share title success in spectacular season finale

Toyota has thrown down the gauntlet to its rivals for the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship Manufacturers’ crown in Bahrain today (1 November), with a commanding performance in qualifying to lock out the front row of the grid for Saturday’s title-deciding finale.

Toyota has thrown down the gauntlet to its rivals for the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship Manufacturers&rsquo; crown in Bahrain today (1 November), with a commanding performance in qualifying to lock out the front row of the grid for Saturday&rsquo;s title-deciding finale.

For the third year in a row, Brendon Hartley put the #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GR010 Hybrid on pole position around Bahrain International Circuit, where the Japanese outfit boasts an enviable record, having won 75 per cent of the WEC races held there to-date. Tomorrow, the New Zealander together with team-mates S&eacute;bastien Buemi and Ryō Hirakawa will aim to become the first Hypercar crew to successfully convert pole into victory this year.

Hartley wound up just under a third-of-a-second quicker than team-mate Nyck de Vries in the #7 Toyota, with Antonio Giovinazzi missing out on a spot on the front row by barely four hundredths in the best of the Ferrari 499Ps.

Neel Jani was the highest-placed Porsche driver in fourth in the independent Proton Competition entry &ndash; the Swiss star setting the pace in the final sector of the lap &ndash; with the two principal protagonists for the Drivers&rsquo; title set to line up alongside one another on row three. Behind the wheel of the #50 Ferrari, Antonio Fuoco edged out K&eacute;vin Estre in the championship-leading #6 Porsche by a mere 0.015s.

<h2>McLaren mastery in LMGT3</h2>

United Autosports hit their adversaries with the old one-two in the LMGT3 category, with Joshua Caygill and James Cottingham&rsquo;s McLarens separated by a scant two thousandths-of-a-second at the top of the timing screens as the former secured the British outfit&rsquo;s first pole position of the campaign.

Fuji pole-sitter Fran&ccedil;ois Heriau pushed the pair hardest in third to maintain Vista AF Corse&rsquo;s strong finish to the season with the Ferrari 296 GT3, as Sarah Bovy slotted the Iron Dames&rsquo; Lamborghini Hurac&aacute;n into fourth, ahead of Aliaksandr Malykhin in the recently-crowned #92 Manthey Purerxcing Porsche. Barely a second blanketed the entire LMGT3 top ten, setting the scene for a spectacularly close scrap on race day.

The Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain is scheduled to get underway at 14:00 local time (12:00 CET) on Saturday (2 November).
