Our gallery for the 24 hours of Le Mans is now online! The race where Toyota solidified its return to the top step of the podium at La Sarthe. Find the full gallery here: https://prescottmotorsport.pixieset.com/fiawec24hoursoflemans2026/ Here's a small preview:

After three years of frustration, Toyota is back on top at La Sarthe. The No.7 of Kobayashi, Conway and de Vries beat BMW and the sister Toyota in a strategy-defined 94th Le Mans. Here is the full result across Hypercar, LMP2 and LMGT3, and what it means for the WEC title fight.

With one hour left at the 94th Le Mans, Toyota has hauled both of its cars ahead of the Cadillac that led much of the night, setting up a grandstand finish over Cadillac and BMW. Our Hour 23 draft, ahead of the chequered flag.

With six hours left at La Sarthe, the #12 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA machine of Louis Deletraz, Will Stevens and Norman Nato leads the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans by close to a minute. A night of relentless attrition has thinned the Hypercar pack, eliminating the polesitting BMW, the sister #38 Cadillac and a works Ferrari 499P. The fight for second between Sheldon van der Linde's BMW and Brendon Hartley's Toyota remains alive, but the American manufacturer looks well placed to en

The No.38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA leads the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans after six hours, with Sebastien Bourdais heading the No.20 BMW by 30.3 seconds as night falls over Circuit de la Sarthe. The pole-sitting No.15 BMW has been effectively eliminated after a late tyre failure, while Ferrari's triple challenge has been blunted by penalties and incidents.

The FIA World Endurance Championship expands to nine rounds in 2027, with Silverstone back on the schedule for the first time since 2019. The Hypercar, LMGT3 and full WEC field will tackle Qatar, Imola, Silverstone, Spa, the 95th 24 Hours of Le Mans, Sao Paulo, Austin, Fuji and Bahrain.

BMW will lead the field away at Le Mans for the first time in the Hypercar era after Jack Aitken's apparent pole lap for Cadillac was deleted, handing top spot to Dries Vanthoor's record 3:22.564. In LMP2, Esteban Masson set the pace only for a penalty to give IDEC Sport pole, while Mattia Drudi claimed back to back LMGT3 poles for Heart of Racing.

The fastest LMGT3 car of the opening night will start from the back. Racing Team Turkey by TF have been disqualified from Le Mans qualifying over a rear diffuser infringement, handing Proton Competition the class's quickest time and promoting Team Qatar by Iron Lynx into the final Hyperpole place.

Alpine set the pace on the opening night of Le Mans qualifying, but the real drama came at the back of the Hypercar field, where both works Peugeots and the Ferrari that won this race last year all missed the Hyperpole cut. Doriane Pin led LMP2, while Racing Team Turkey topped a brutally tight LMGT3.

Text & Images: Rick Kiewiet The 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is almost upon us, and the entry list reads as one of the strongest in recent memory. Across all three classes, the field is deep, the pace is close, and the arguments for any number of potential winners are convincing. The test day, held yesterday at the Circuit de la Sarthe, gave a first indication of where things stand — though as ever, test day times are only part of the story. Twelve months ago, Fer
