The 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans starts at 16:00 on 14 June. This year’s competitors have already been announced and now is the time to reveal the schedule of events for race week.

NEW FOR 2025

 
SATURDAY 7 JUNE: STARS OF THE TRACK ON THE STREETS OF LE MANS 
 
For the third time in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 30 cars, 19 in this year&rsquo;s line-up, will parade along a 2.1-kilometre loop in the city centre. Last year, thousands of admirers lined the route, bringing the trackside atmosphere into town. This year we&rsquo;re doubling the fun: the parade will complete two loops, starting from Place du Jet d&rsquo;Eau, the fountain at the foot of the cathedral. 
Safety will be assured by 70 marshals stationed along the route. See you on Saturday 7 June at the closure of the scrutineering session, when the stars of the track take to the streets of Le Mans.

&nbsp;

FROM TUESDAY 10 JUNE:&nbsp;TWO NEW FAN ZONES AND A MANUFACTURERS&rsquo; VILLAGE 
 
The circuit boasts two new fan zones at&nbsp;Tertre Rouge and Karting. 
 
These areas are designed to give spectators an all-round experience of the world of endurance racing. As the name suggests, the Family fan zone&nbsp;is destined for the youngest visitors, with educational workshops, video games and interactive exhibitions. The fan zone at Porte Est&nbsp;(East Gate) combines societal commitments with well-being and relaxation, including free massages and a temporary tattoo parlour. At the Karting&nbsp;fan zone spectators can try racing simulators and admire the vehicles on display. Head to the Tertre Rouge fan zone for outdoor fun, including a laser game and a climbing wall. The Concert fan zone is where the live music is staged throughout the week. With such an array on offer, it&rsquo;s safe to say there&rsquo;s something for everyone.The 24 Hours of Le Mans manufacturers&#39; village will feature the unmissable presence of manufacturers taking part in the race or future participants in the race, including Alpine, BMW M, Ford, Genesis, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Toyota.&nbsp;With spectacular exhibitions, sales of souvenirs and collections, and a place to relax, this village is a real place of life !

&nbsp;

WEDNESDAY 11 JUNE: THE MUSTANG CHALLENGE SUPPORT RACE, RIBBON-CUTTNG AT THE ACO H2 HYDROGEN VILLAGE AND HYPERPOLE QUALIFICATION

Visitors to the ACO H2 Hydrogen village will discover the H2 paddock with a mobile filling station, a display of hydrogen prototypes, some of which will be on track at Thursday&rsquo;s and Saturday&rsquo;s demo sessions.&nbsp; 
MissionH24 &ndash; the ACO and H24Project joint venture &ndash; will unveil the H24EVO. Hydrogen-powered transport is the star of this show, ranging from bicycles, cars, motorbikes, boats, rockets, trucks, trains and planes.&nbsp;The village opens on Tuesday afternoon and from 10:00 to midnight from Wednesday to Sunday. The on-site presenter, to be announced shortly, is a prominent figure of the sporting world. The ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for late morning Wednesday 11 June. 
Spread over two days, the new Hyperpole format is set to be even more exciting. LMP2 and LMGT3 cars take part in a 30-minute qualifying session after Free Practice 1. Only the top 12 go through to Hyperpole. The Hypercars follow, with the top 15 selected for Hyperpole.

24 Hours of Le Mans 2025  A historic grid calls for an outstanding schedule of events

Reigning Formula E world champion Pascal Wehrlein is set to make his 24 Hours of Le Mans début in this year’s race (11-15 June). Having joined the Porsche Penske Motorsport team, the German will share the wheel of the #4 Porsche 963 with Felipe Nasr and Nick Tandy.

After familiarising himself with the Porsche 963 in January&rsquo;s 24 Hours of Daytona with JDC-Miller MotorSports, Pascal Wehrlein is ready to face a whole new challenge in the French endurance classic. He is joining a top-notch line-up alongside three-time IMSA champion Felipe Nasr and 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Nick Tandy. Veteran Tandy has 12 Le Mans starts under his belt (nine in a Porsche) while Nasr is preparing to make his sixth appearance in the race.

Porsche Motorsport Vice President Thomas Laudenbach says Wehrlein&rsquo;s inclusion in the line-up is a no-brainer. &ldquo;The Porsche driver roster is absolutely top-tier and incredibly deep,&rdquo; he enthuses. &ldquo;Pascal Wehrlein has fully convinced us with his performance in testing and his participation in the 24 Hours of Daytona. As the reigning Formula E World Champion, he has earned his Le Mans debut at the wheel of a Porsche 963.&rdquo;

Taking the wheel of the Porsche 963 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans is an accomplishment for the 30-year-old German. &ldquo;Competing for Porsche Penske Motorsport at Le Mans is a dream come true for me,&rdquo; Wehrlein insists. &ldquo;I&#39;m&nbsp;looking forward to this major challenge because, unlike in Formula E, I have to share everything in the Porsche 963 that I would normally tailor specifically to myself: seating position, setup, strategy, and more. My primary goal is to do a strong job for the team and learn as much as possible.&rdquo;

&nbsp;

<h2>Ant&oacute;nio F&eacute;lix da Costa in LMP2</h2>

Unlike rookie Wehrlein, his Formula E teammate Ant&oacute;nio F&eacute;lix da Costa is a familiar face at the race. The Portuguese driver will line up in an Oreca 07-Gibson LMP2 this year, his seventh 24 Hours of Le Mans appearance. After winning the class in 2022, he hopes his experience and determination will put his team in with a shout of top spot once again. &ldquo;I am very happy to be back at Le Mans after one year&rsquo;s absence,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;In my last LMP2 appearance, I won the class. That&rsquo;s my goal again this year.&rdquo;

With Wehrlein at the wheel of the #4 Porsche 963 alongside Nasr and Tandy, Porsche Penske Motorsport is banking on a solid, complementary trio to clinch its 20th overall win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

&nbsp;

Pascal Wehrlein joins Porsche Penske Motorsport for 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans

Steve McQueen nurtured a passion for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and will forever be one of the race’s most well-known faces, thanks to his film Le Mans. The Automobile Club de l’Ouest and Renaissance Licensing agency joined forces in 2021 to produce a lifestyle collection featuring the US actor and producer.

As we approach the 55th anniversary of the film&rsquo;s release, Chase and Madison McQueen share their memories of their grandfather, his unique bond with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the lasting mark he made on motorsport culture.

What does Steve McQueen&rsquo;s legacy in the world of motorsport and the 24 Hours of Le Mans mean to you and the family?

Chase and Madison: &quot;Our grandfather&rsquo;s legacy in motorsport, especially with Le Mans, is something we hold incredibly close. Growing up, our father shared stories of what this race meant to him and how he wasn&rsquo;t just acting, but striving to capture the true essence of Le Mans. 
To us, it&rsquo;s more than history; it&rsquo;s inspiration. He showed what it means to chase a dream with everything you&rsquo;ve got and risk it all for something he believed in. Le Mans was the ultimate stage for that passion. We&rsquo;re so proud to see his name still light up the faces of race fans and drivers alike &mdash; a legacy of grit, heart, and authenticity that continues to inspire.&quot;

How does the collaboration between the McQueen family and the ACO, in celebration of the 55th anniversary of Le Mans, honor his memory and passion for motorsport?

&quot;Collaborating with the ACO on the 55th anniversary of Le Mans feels like a dream come true &mdash; it&rsquo;s like we&rsquo;re bringing our grandfather&rsquo;s spirit back to the track he cherished most, a place where our family&rsquo;s deep love for racing took root.&nbsp; 
This partnership goes beyond celebrating a film; it&rsquo;s about honoring the race that defined him. The ACO understands what Le Mans meant to him &mdash; the endurance, the intensity, the raw passion &mdash; and they&rsquo;re helping us share that with the world. For us, it&rsquo;s a bridge between his past and today&rsquo;s fans, showing why Steve McQueen and the 24 Hours of Le Mans will always be inseparable.&quot;

Chase&Madison.png

&nbsp;

How do you feel about the lasting impact that the film Le Mans continues to have on fans and the motorsport community today?

&quot;It&rsquo;s truly incredible to see the impact Le Mans still has after all these years. Here we are, 55 years later, talking about how this film touched generations of racing fans. Our grandfather poured his heart into it, and you can feel that in every frame. It&rsquo;s a timeless piece that captures the soul of real motorsport &mdash; what racing felt like when drivers were risking it all.&nbsp; 
For the community, it&rsquo;s a benchmark of authenticity that still inspires racers and filmmakers alike. We&rsquo;re so proud&nbsp;that his vision continues to resonate, proving his love for the sport was universal and timeless.&quot;

What do you believe is the special connection between Steve McQueen, the film Le Mans, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, especially as we approach the 55th anniversary?

&quot;The connection between our grandfather, the film Le Mans, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans feels electric &mdash; they&rsquo;re intertwined in a way that&rsquo;s hard to put into words. He didn&rsquo;t just make a movie; he captured the very soul of the race. He became obsessed with Le Mans because it demanded everything he valued. The film brought that to life with real cars, real danger, and raw emotion.&nbsp; 
As we approach the 55th anniversary, that bond feels even stronger &mdash; it&rsquo;s a moment to celebrate how he brought the race to the silver screen for millions to enjoy. It&rsquo;s a story that still resonates, offering the perfect foundation to bring fans closer to that magic, whether they&rsquo;re at the track or reliving the film.&quot;

What do you hope the upcoming collection, built around Steve McQueen&rsquo;s legacy and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will convey to fans and collectors?

&quot;Our grandfather was all about authenticity &mdash; he had no time for anything fake. So, we hope this collection feels like him. Every piece should tell a story, making fans and collectors feel like they&rsquo;re part of his world We want it to reflect his love for racing and the raw passion of Le Mans, creating something that&rsquo;s not just cool but true to who he was. That&rsquo;s what he&rsquo;d want.&quot;

Steve McQueen and the 24 Hours of Le Mans: an authentic heritage

The 2025/26 Asian Le Mans Series calendar will see a return to the three circuits seen in 2024/25, with Rounds 1 and 2 in Malaysia, Rounds 3 and 4 in Dubai and Rounds 5 and 6 in Abu Dhabi.

The opening two 4-hour races will take place at the Sepang International Circuit near Kuala Lumpur in December, one week later than 2024 on the 12-14 December 2025.&nbsp; The two races in Dubai will be held on Saturday 31 January and Sunday 1 February, with the season finale at the Yas Marina Circuit a week later on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 February 2026.

There had been a possibility to include Buriram in Thailand in the 2025/26 calendar at the end of November, but, unfortunately, a suitable date that worked for both the series and the circuit couldn&rsquo;t be found.

The Mandalika Circuit in Indonesian had also been considered as an alternative but the upgrades needed to bring it up to the required safety standards for the Le Mans Prototypes couldn&rsquo;t be guaranteed to be completed on time.&nbsp;

Both circuits are being considered for the 2026/27 season.

Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l&#39;Ouest: &ldquo;The Asian Le Mans Series has demonstrated the solidity of its foundations these past few years. The calendar is stable, the circuits esteemed, and the championship is an excellent springboard towards higher goals. For the best in class in LMP2 and GT, the ALMS also opens the door to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We look forward to meeting our competitors in Sepang in December to begin another great season.&rdquo;

Fr&eacute;d&eacute;ric Lequien, ALMEM and LMEM CEO:&nbsp;&ldquo;After a highly successful season that saw 47 entries for the final round in Abu Dhabi, we were looking to take the series to Thailand or Indonesian next season.&nbsp; However, due to circumstances beyond our control, the decision has been taken to continue with the same format that has proven to be successful for the past two seasons, which has been received positively by the teams and sponsors.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The facilities at the three circuits on the calendar are second to none, with Sepang being home of the MotoGP Grand Prix of Malaysia, the technically challenging Dubai Autodrome circuit that drivers love to test themselves on and the beautiful surroundings at Yas Marina, which hosts the final race of 2025 Formula 1 season.

&ldquo;The 2025/26 calendar has also been designed to avoid the important dates for Chinese New Year and Ramadan and also avoid a clash with the 2026 Rolex 24 at Daytona.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Looking ahead we will continue to work with the staff at Buriram and Mandalika to explore the possibility of including one, or both, in 2026/27.&rdquo;

St&eacute;phane Ratel, SRO Motorsports Group Founder &amp; CEO: &ldquo;Stability is key to success. And the Asian Le Mans Series&#39; existing calendar format has been a critical component of that in recent seasons. Maintaining the current combination allows Asian and European customers to compete together in what has fast become a congested period in the year for endurance racing. Consistency is vitally important in our business so I&#39;m happy to see both accounted for in the 2025/26 calendar.&quot;

Provisional 2025/26 Asian Le Mans Series Calendar

<ul>
	<li>12-14 Dec 2025 - Race 1 &amp; 2 - Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia</li>
	<li>29 Jan &ndash; 1 Feb 2026 - Race 3 &amp; 4 - Dubai Autodrome, Dubai</li>
	<li>6-8 Feb 2026 - Race 5 &amp; 6 - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi</li>

2025/26 Calendar Announced with Six Races in Sepang, Dubai and Yas Marina

With the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans now less than three months away (11-15 June 2025), Inter Europol Competition showed they will be a force to be reckoned with at the French endurance classic by winning the LMP2 class at the 12 Hours of Sebring, the second round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. A significant victory for the Polish outfit who took the LMP2 honours at the 24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary in 2023.

The North American season got off to an inauspicious start for Inter Europol Competition with a retirement in Daytona, but the team showed great resilience on the demanding, irregular surface of the Sebring International Raceway.&nbsp; Tom Dillmann, Bijoy Garg and Jeremy Clarke drove a masterful race in the #43 Oreca 07-Gibson to take the LMP2 prize. 
Team linchpin Dillmann was delighted with the performance. &ldquo;Really great feeling to win such an iconic race,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I had pictured that bounce back in my dreams after Daytona and we did it!&nbsp; The race went as planned. We took care of the car for the first 10 hours while staying in the lead group before attacking when it mattered. Thank you to the the whole team and my teammates for the perfect execution.&rdquo;

Fielding a reshuffled lineup for the race, with the arrival of Bronze driver Clarke, the team found the right balance between performance and consistency. American Clarke showed great tenacity on his IMSA d&eacute;but, recovering from an unfortunate spin in qualifying, to put in a solid performance and keep the car in the mix.

<h2>A strong showing in the runup to the 24 Hours of Le Mans</h2>

Inter Europol Competition&rsquo;s win in Florida sends out a loud message to the team&rsquo;s rivals as the legendary French endurance race emerges on the horizon. The Polish outfit will field two LMP2 prototypes in Le Mans &ndash; #34 driven by Nicholas Boulle, Jean-Baptiste Simmenauer and Luca Ghiotto, and #43 with Jakub Smiechowski, Dillmann and Nick Yelloly &ndash; and are determined to repeat their 2023 showing when they won the LMP2 class in the Centenary race.

The 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans will feature a 17-strong field in LMP2 and promises a closely fought battle for victory. With their experience and grit, Inter Europol Competition will be a serious candidate in the quest for another prestigious triumph.

&nbsp;

Inter Europol Competition sharpens up for Le Mans with stellar Sebring showing

Barely three months ahead of its maiden 24 Hours of Le Mans appearance (11-15 June 2025), the Aston Martin Valkyrie put in an encouraging performance at the 12 Hours of Sebring that stoked the enthusiasm of the newcomer’s many fans.

After making its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/aston-martin-valkyrie-makes-its-first-official-outing-at-the-fia-wec-prologue-in-qatar-59370" target="_blank">official race d&eacute;but at the Qatar 1812 Km</a>, the opening round of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship, the Valkyrie took up the mammoth challenge of the 12 Hours of Sebring, the second race on the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship calendar. The bumpy surface of the Sebring International Raceway and the extreme difficulty of the event, the legendary race has earned a fearsome reputation.

But despite the daunting conditions, the #23&nbsp;<a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/aston-martin-thor-team-unveils-valkyrie-livery-59319" target="_blank">Aston Martin Valkyrie</a> driven by Ross Gunn, Roman De Angelis and Alex Riberas crossed the finish line in ninth place, three up from its grid position. Adam Carter,&nbsp; Aston Martin Head of Endurance, was delighted with the performance. &ldquo;Sebring is well renowned for being a tough test on any racecar, let alone a new hypercar,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;But we were confident in the car&rsquo;s ability to go the distance, and the fact that it did it so well is a huge testament to everybody working on the programme and a good indicator of the inherent potential of the car. We are right at the beginning of this journey with Valkyrie, and of course there will be opportunities for improvement, but we have learned a huge amount and gathered an enormous amount of data that we can now take away and digest.&rdquo;

Aston Martin THOR Racing team exploited every lap to hone the development of the British hypercar. The data gathered at Sebring and in Qatar offer a solid basis on which to fine-tune the Valkyrie&rsquo;s setup and maximise its performance.

De Angelis, one of the #23 car&rsquo;s drivers, said: &ldquo;It is a rollercoaster of emotions to say the least. It&rsquo;s one of the hardest races I&rsquo;ve had [...] and we have clearly made good progress here.&rdquo;&nbsp;Teammate Riberas agreed:&nbsp;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s an amazing feeling. We came here with really no expectations because we knew that Sebring was going to be one of the toughest challenges we would face as a team with a new car. We really didn&rsquo;t think we could come here and do what we just did &ndash; to finish the race, and not just that but in the top ten as well. It&rsquo;s unbelievable.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s a great start and this is only the beginning.&rdquo;

The Valkyrie&rsquo;s performance at the 12 Hours of Sebring marked a watershed in Aston Martin&rsquo;s Hypercar programme. Ian James, Aston Martin THOR Team Principal, emphasised its importance: &ldquo;Twelve hours around this place is momentous for us in terms of the programme. Every lap we do we learn something and we are going to come back stronger every time.&rdquo;

Next up for the Aston Martin Valkyrie are the Long Beach Grand Prix (12 April) in IMSA and the 6 Hours of Imola (20 April) in the FIA WEC. These races will offer a further opportunity to rack up experience and collect precious data with a view to the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans. Aston Martin&rsquo;s supporters and endurance fans everywhere can expect the performance of the Valkyrie&nbsp; to continue its upward trajectory.

Promising signs for the Aston Martin Valkyrie at Sebring

Porsche Penske Motorsport’s Porsche 963 Hypercar has followed up on its 24 Hours of Daytona success in January by winning the 12 Hours of Sebring, the second round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. With less than three months to the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans (11-15 June 2025), this triumph strengthens the German manufacturer’s bid to see off Alpine, Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Peugeot and Toyota – its rivals for overall victory in la Sarthe.

This weekend, the #7 Porsche 963 driven by Felipe Nasr, Nick Tandy and Laurens Vanthoor clinched a sparkling success in Florida. The Porsche Penske Motorsport trio claimed victory after a tough 12-hour fight that was neutralised times as temperatures topped 31&deg;C. This performance confirms the consistency and reliability of the German prototype on the back of its win in the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.

The race reached a dramatic climax in the final half-hour as Nasr withstood attacks from his main rivals following the final Full Course Yellow. With a perfectly executed strategy and flawless tyre and fuel management, Porsche Penske Motorsport took an overall 1-2 with Matt Campbell, Mathieu Jaminet and K&eacute;vin Estre in the #6 sister car finishing just 2.239 seconds behind.

<h2>A performance that sets the tone for the 24 Hours of Le&nbsp;Mans</h2>

This Sebring victory strengthens Porsche&rsquo;s position as favourite for the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans &ndash; the fourth round of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship. The manufacturer that holds the record for outright Le Mans wins (19) faces stiff competition, notable from Ferrari, winner in the last two years, as well as Alpine, Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Toyota and Peugeot.

This Sebring success was extra-special for 2015 Le Mans-winner Tandy who joined the elite club of winners of the Triple Crown of Endurance (Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans): &ldquo;It feels amazing to win two races in a row [...] And to top it off, both Porsche 963 finished both races on the podium. Given the fierce competition, that&rsquo;s incredible. No mistakes, no penalties, no damage &ndash; today was simply a dream in endurance racing.&rdquo;

For Porsche, this first Sebring win since 2008 illustrates the strength of the manufacturer&rsquo;s ambitious project. Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport, beamed: &ldquo;The Porsche 963 has again upheld its reputation as the most successful LMDh car since the regulations were introduced. This is something we can all be very proud of.&rdquo; Urs Kuratle, Director Factory Motorsport LMDh, was equally enthusiastic: &quot;Victory at Daytona, and now Sebring: We&rsquo;ve won the 36 Hours of Florida! That was one of our most outstanding races, absolutely flawless. I&rsquo;m ecstatic. All the drivers and the entire team put in an incredibly strong effort: pit stops, strategy, car &ndash; everything went perfectly.&rdquo;

309741_1280x853.jpg

Porsche Penske Motorsport&rsquo;s back-to-back wins in the two Florida classics underlines the consistency and performance of the Porsche 963 in the IMSA championship. In the run-up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the team is a serious candidate for a return to the top step of the podium. Porsche&rsquo;s last outright Le Mans victory dates back to 2017 when Timo Bernhard, Earl Bamber and Brendon Hartley took the honours in the 919 Hybrid.

We look forward to June to see if the German powerhouse can overcome the biggest carmakers on the planet and add a 20th win to its Le Mans track record.

Porsche 963 adds another legendary race to list of triumphs

A new-look Hyperpole will be introduced at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. Get ready for a whole new level of excitement! Split over two days (11–12 June), the revised Hyperpole promises suspense, strategy and elimination. It’s an event in itself with on-track battles in every class and a frenetic fight for pole position. Don’t miss a second of the action!

In 2024, the 24 Hours of Le Mans served up an intense, closely fought race with no fewer than nine Hypercars finishing on the same lap. Starting near the front of the grid has never been so important in the quest for victory in the world&rsquo;s toughest endurance race. Qualifying therefore plays a crucial role in setting the tone before the race itself.

<h2>A multi-step&nbsp;Hyperpole process</h2>

The new two-day format, to be held on 11&ndash;12 June, is designed to ramp up the tension as the sessions progress and the field narrows down. On the Wednesday, after an initial Free Practice, the LMP2 and LMGT3 competitors set off for 30 minutes of Qualifying with a clear objective &ndash; to figure among the 12 fastest in each class that will compete in the Hyperpole run-off. A similar session will then take place for the Hypercars, but with 15 places up for grabs.

Two Hyperpole sessions &ndash; H1 and H2 &ndash; will be staged on the Thursday. In H1, the 12 LMP2 and 12 LMGT3 qualifiers will have 20 minutes to clock one of the eight fastest times and proceed to H2. This elimination format is repeated for the Hypercars, with the 15 quickest qualifiers facing off in H1 which will determine the 10 finalists. In H2, the survivors will have just 15 minutes in which to seek the perfect lap and achieve the best possible place on the grid.

LMA_24A_Z08_9428-Avec accentuation-Bruit.jpg

<h2>Twice the thrills!</h2>

Splitting Hyperpole into two consecutive sessions is designed to create a thrilling experience for the fans and test the teams&rsquo; nerve and rapidity. With cars eliminated at every&nbsp;step, the slightest error can be costly. The shorter sessions (20 and 15 minutes) guarantee maximum intensity and force the drivers to adapt quickly to track conditions. Adaptability is a key skill for any endurance driver.

This new format is not only of benefit to the top class. LMP2 and LMGT3, more often the realm of amateurs and private teams, are thrust into the spotlight as this revolution challenges the whole grid and rewards performance in every class.

The 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans Hyperpole will conclude with a whole new ceremony. The fastest drivers will be invited on to the podium together with their team manager. A Hyperpole trophy will be presented to reward their performance and their determination to achieve pole position. No doubt that the enthusiastic 24 Hours of Le Mans crowd, ever eager to hail impressive feats, will give them a resounding cheer.
