24 Hours of Le Mans

Aston Martin has confirmed that, at long last, it will enter a pair of its halo Valkyrie supercars into the Le Mans Hypercar category for the whole of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship — including the 24 Hours of Le Mans itself.

Four months after revealing the Genesis X Gran Berlinetta Vision GT, the Korean manufacturer has shown off an updated version of the vehicle created as a tribute to legendary Le Mans racer and brand partner Jacky Ickx.

The Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) has announced the provisional entry list for the 2024 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which includes the most diverse top category field in more than 30 years.

It’s possibly the most unexpected crossover of the week, but football legend Tom Brady is apparently training hard in Gran Turismo 7 in preparation for a drive in Porsche’s new 963 Le Mans Hypercar.

The Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) has announced the official, 62-car entry list for the 100th anniversary running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans later this year.

The most famous 24-hour race in the world is back, for its 90th running, just 10 months on from its last event as it returns to its normal spot on the calendar.

Audi has announced that it is preparing to re-enter top-level prototype endurance racing, with a surprise return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Renowned McLaren racing team Lanzante has revealed its LM 25 Editions, a suite of seven cars to celebrate a significant landmark. 2020 marks a full quarter of a century since McLaren entered the famous Le Mans 24 Hours race for the first time, and won.

The hypercar era of the World Endurance Championship is getting closer by the day. With road cars — albeit incredibly fast, exclusive, and expensive ones — coming in as the top class of competition, the series and its showpiece race will return to the feel of its glory days.

Last year, we took a look at the history of Le Mans in racing games. Now the official 24 Hours of Le Mans Twitter account is doing the same thing.

Prepare to say farewell to the prototype era. A new set of rules agreed by the FIA and ACO confirms that the new top category will use hypercars more closely resembling manufacturers’ road cars, instead of cookie-cutter prototype race cars.

It looks like the face of top level endurance motorsport will change from 2020. The FIA has revealed plans to move away from purpose-built racing prototypes and back towards a high performance road car formula.

When it comes to the world’s most iconic tracks, there’s not much that gets close to the Circuit de la Sarthe.

The third expansion pack for Project Cars 2 got a bit of an early reveal on the Microsoft Store. This time around, Slightly Mad Studio is taking players to one of the most iconic races in the world — the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This year is going to be a significant change for the World Endurance Championship. For a start, it’ll be 14 months long…

It’s been difficult recently to open up a motoring website, or car magazine, without seeing some new hypercar.

It’s a little too early to say that the World Endurance Championship (WEC) is a series in crisis. The signs aren’t good though; only one manufacturer remains in the top LMP1 category as brands ditch the expensive hybrid category for the electric hum of Formula E.

The future of LMP1 is in doubt today, as Porsche has announced it too is terminating its involvement.
