Hypercar: Two Paths to Legend

Since 2021, the Hypercar has reigned supreme in endurance racing. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans and across the FIA WEC, it represents a new generation of prototypes, shaped by innovation, research and an unwavering pursuit of performance.

Behind every Hypercar are the men and women who push boundaries, chase every tenth of a second and imagine the technologies of tomorrow. Two philosophies go head to head: LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) and LMDh (Le Mans Daytona h).
LMH gives manufacturers a high degree of freedom in terms of architecture, including the possibility of integrating a hybrid system on the front axle.

LMDh is built around a common platform developed by Dallara, Multimatic, Ligier or Oreca, which each manufacturer then shapes in its own image.

Two paths. Two visions. One shared quest: to go ever further and, perhaps, write the next page of the legend.

LMP2: Racing at the Heart of Endurance

Designed for racing and independent teams, LMP2 holds a unique place in endurance racing. From the 24 Hours of Le Mans to the European Le Mans Series, from the Asian Le Mans Series to IMSA, it gives those who bring it to life a stage where every decision can make the difference.

Four manufacturers supply the chassis: Dallara, Ligier, Oreca and Riley/Multimatic. They all share the same beating heart: the Gibson engine, the category’s sole engine supplier.

But in LMP2, performance never rests on one person alone. It is built together: drivers, engineers, mechanics, strategists. Every stint matters. Every second does too.

Every crew must include at least one Silver or Bronze-rated driver. With a Bronze driver on board, another battle begins: the LMP2 Pro/Am classification.

Because in endurance racing, victory is always a collective story.

LMGT3: From Road to Track, a New Story Unfolds

Since 2024, a new generation of GT cars has been writing its story at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the FIA WEC. Born from the FIA GT3 platform, these cars bring to the track the DNA of manufacturers whose cars also come to life on the road.

To enter the battle, manufacturers must produce more than 2,500 road cars per year. Then comes the transformation: illuminated digital panels, position lights… every detail prepares these GT cars for the unique challenge of the 24 Hours.

Aston Martin, BMW, Corvette, Ferrari, Ford, Lexus, Mercedes-AMG, McLaren and Porsche will be represented by private teams.

And behind every car lies a human story: each crew must include at least one Bronze-rated driver and one Bronze- or Silver-rated driver.

Cars born for the road. Drivers born for the race. One shared ambition: to write their own page of the legend.
