Ferrari won overall for the second year in succession and eleventh in total, with the Ferrari 499P Hypercar shared by Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen beating the Toyota GR010 Hybrid of Kamui Kobayashi, José María López and Nyck de Vries by 14 seconds. Third place was taken by 2023 winners James Calado, Antonio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi in the other factory-run AF Corse Ferrari. A record number of cars, nine, finished on the lead lap.[1]

United Autosports emerged victorious in Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) for the second time, with Bijoy Garg, Oliver Jarvis and Nolan Siegel driving a Gibson-powered Oreca 07. The first edition of LMGT3 was won by Manthey EMA's Richard Lietz, Morris Schuring and Yasser Shahin in a Porsche 911 GT3 R (992). The race was affected by heavy rain and fog, with a four-hour safety car intervention in the early morning owing to the weather.[1]

Background

edit

The 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 92nd running of the 24-hour race organised by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest. The LM GTE Am class of 2023 was transitioned to LMGT3 for the 2024 race. While LMP2 cars did not run in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship, Automobile Club de l'Ouest allocated a minimum of 15 grid slots to LMP2 cars for the race.[2] A number of new and returning manufacturers hoped to field cars in the 2024 event, including Alpine, Ford, BMW, and McLaren.[3][4][5][6] LMGT3 models that did not compete for the full 2024 FIA WEC seasons were not permitted to enter at the 24 hour race.[7]

Qualifying

edit
 
Kévin Estre (pictured in 2021) qualified fastest overall for Porsche Penske Motorsport.

Divided into two sessions, an initial one-hour qualifying session decided the race's starting order, except for the fastest eight vehicles in each class, who qualified for a half-hour shootout, "Hyperpole," which determined pole position in all three classes. Every Hypercar started upfront, regardless of lap time, followed by LMP2 and LMGT3. The eight qualifying Hyperpole cars were ordered by fastest Hyperpole-session lap time first, followed by the other non-qualifying class vehicles by fastest lap time set during the first qualifying session.[31]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b c Kvyat and Boguslavskiy are Russian, but they compete as neutral competitors as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Lomko, also a Russian, competes under a Grenadian licence for the same reason.
  2. ^ Malykhin is Belarusian, but he competes under a Kittitian licence as Belarusian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  3. ^ The race classification remains provisional until the completion of an ACO and FIA investigation into the compliance of components that were impounded from seven cars by both bodies during post-race scrutineering.
