2025 24 Hours of Le Mans – First look at the paddock as teams gear up for this weekend

The teams entered in the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans (11-15 June) have taken over the paddock to get ready for Scrutineering in the Le Mans city centre this coming Friday and Saturday, and Test Day on Sunday.

Preparations are in full swing for the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, fourth round of the FIA WEC season. The teams have taken their places in the paddock and support paddock and several cars are already on the scene including the BMW, Alpine, Cadillac Hertz Team Jota, Cadillac WTR and Cadillac Whelen Hypercars. Let's not forget Aston Martin THOR's two Valkyries, a major new draw this year.

Like in 2024, the two additional garages positioned between the sports module and the pit building are occupied by Akkodis ASP Team's two Lexus RC F LMGT3s. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has taken up residence toward the end of pit lane near the Michelin sign, a surprising new development as the Japanese manufacturer typically prefers the very first garages.

Multiple hospitality facilities have been installed in the paddock area. These temporary buildings, which can take several days to assemble, are among the many behind-the-scenes sights at the circuit. Those set up by Cadillac, Porsche and Aston Martin are particularly impressive.
