The weekend of the ninth round of the 2013 Grand Am season, coupled with the sixth race of the American Le Mans Series at Road America, saw the first victory of Brendon Hartley.

Michelin has taken the wraps off its new Pilot Sport Endurance range for the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship season and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The exclusive supplier to the Hypercar class has designed the tyre with three aims in mind: performance, longevity and respect for the environment.

French manufacturer Michelin will introduce a brand new generation of tyre&nbsp;for the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Pilot Sport Endurance range has been conceived to deliver on performance, durability and a more environmentally friendly compound.

With this model, Michelin is taking a significant step forward in endurance tyre development. The tyre has been completely redesigned to meet the challenges of motorsport today: going faster and for longer, while consuming fewer resources.&nbsp;&ldquo;Since the inception of the Hypercar class, the competitors have pared a second off lap times by optimising tyre use,&rdquo; says Matthieu Bonardel, Head of the Motorsport Business Line&nbsp; at Michelin. &ldquo;Given the technical and sporting success, it is tempting to opt for stability. But it&rsquo;s precisely when everything is running smoothly that we need to be bold and go a stage further.&rdquo;

<h2>Greener tyres without compromising on performance</h2>

This development reflects a clear strategy to be more respectful of the environment as the new range will contain 50% renewable or recycled raw materials. The ambitious initiative is consistent with the drive by the FIA WEC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans to reduce their ecological footprint without sacrificing&nbsp;performance.&nbsp;&ldquo;Today more than ever, our capacity for innovation is geared towards a vital issue: durability,&rdquo;&nbsp;Bonardel continues. Michelin can draw on a century of know-how, advanced simulation systems and in-depth work on materials and manufacturing processes to achieve this goal.

<h2>A long-term commitment</h2>

For Michelin, motorsport continues to have a role to play as a laboratory for innovation with an ability to transfer the technologies from the racetrack to the road. Endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans provide a testing ground to put the products through their paces under extreme conditions. Matthieu Bonardel has the final word:&nbsp;&ldquo;A constant quest for improvement and continued investment are necessary to keep the whole industry moving forward for the benefit of sustainable mobility.&rdquo;

We look forward to 2026 and seeing the enhanced performance, efficiency and respect for the environment introduced by the Michelin Pilot Sport Endurance tyre on the racetrack.

Michelin designs a greener, more durable Hypercar tyre for 2026

Test Day was the dress rehearsal for the 62-car 24 Hours of Le Mans field before free practice 1 on Wednesday and Hyperpole on Thursday. We’ve crunched the numbers to give you the low down.

<h2> 
3:26.246</h2>

Brendon Hartley, driver of the #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid, topped the rankings on Test Day for the 93rd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The New-Zealander set the day&rsquo;s best lap time in the afternoon session, bettering James Calado (3:26.777) in the #51 Ferrari 499P and Mick Schumacher (3:27.313) in the #36 Alpine A424. The Hypercar Test Day times are improving year on year. Antonio Giovinazzi set 3:29.504 in 2023 in the Ferrari AF Corse #51 Ferrari 499P and last year K&eacute;vin Estre registered 3:26.907 with the Porsche Penske Motorsport #6 Porsche 963.

But this year <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/toyota-up-the-pace-during-red-flag-filled-le-mans-test-session-59706">Toyota have snatched the number one spot from Porsche</a>. The Japanese team is making gradual progress with their Hypercar. Last year, Brendon Hartley&rsquo;s best lap was 3:27.615 (#8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid). Yesterday was a 1.3-second improvement! Its GT-One livery may be a nod to the past, but the #7 Toyota is moving forwards. It ran faster than last year too, with Nyck de Vries&rsquo; 3:28.385 beating Kamui Kobayashi&rsquo;s 2024 performance (3:28.467).&nbsp;

Ferrari have also improved. Miguel Molina set 3&#39;28&rdquo;014 last year, which James Calado bettered by 1.2 seconds yesterday.

BMW is also on the &ldquo;improved&rdquo; list Robin Frijns shaved off five tenths of a second, taking his car from 3:28.072 to 3:27.554. The improvement goes unnoticed in a year-on-year comparison of Test Day rankings, where the #20 BMW M Hybrid V8 slides down to eighth place from sixth. This year the Ferrari&rsquo;s are out in force and Alpine is making great strides. Nicolas Lapierre&rsquo;s 3:29.620 put the car in 17th place in 2024 but yesterday Mick Schumacher nailed 3:27.313, which put him on the podium. That&rsquo;s a three-second improvement for the German driver! The French make has made the most progress compared to last year&rsquo;s Test Day.

Cadillac&rsquo;s advancement was less spectacular, with 3:27.620 for Alex Lynn in the Cadillac Hertz Team Jota #13 V-Series.R, putting him in ninth place. The other Cadillacs ranked 16th and 17th. Last year, the American car&rsquo;s best lap time was 3:29.360. As most competitors have improved, each team&rsquo;s progress is perhaps less evident.

Only Peugeot and Porsche had a slower Test Day than last year&rsquo;s. Jean-Eric Vergne looks to be Peugeot&rsquo;s fastest driver, judging by his best lap time: 3:29.386 &ndash; not far off Paul Di Resta&rsquo;s 3:29.326 in 2024. K&eacute;vin Estre didn&rsquo;t top the tables this year but remains the fastest driver in the Porsche camp with 3:27.56 (compared to 3:26.907 in 2024). The three factory 963s were in the top 4 last year but ranked 5th, 6th and 11th yesterday.

The Aston Martin Valkyries had an admirable first outing at Le Mans with 3:29.249 for Tom Gamble in the #007 and 3:29.418 for Marco S&oslash;rensen in the sister car. Whatever the pace, the sound of the V12 engine is music to many ears!

All the Hypercars achieved the unofficial lap time of 3.30. However, not all drivers managed to match it. Twelve drivers have yet to record a sub 3.30 lap, while 53 drivers can claim to have done so. The remainder did not record a timed lap.

<h2>22</h2>

The fastest LMP2 was the #22 Oreca 07 entered by United Autosports. Pietro Fittipaldi set the time of 3:35.770. Mathias Beche in the TDS Racing #28 was almost half a second slower, and Louis Del&eacute;traz (#199 AO by TF) added seven tenths. The #22 also went fastest at last year&rsquo;s Test Day, in the hands of Oliver Jarvis (3:34.704).

<h2>5</h2>

Five, yes five, of the six Lexus drivers are in the top 10 in LMGT3. Jos&eacute; Mar&iacute;a L&oacute;pez was fastest with 3:55.276 &ndash; an outstanding performance compared to the rest of the class and to last year (when the class was introduced). Alessio Rovera in the #21 296 LMGT3 sliced 1.5 seconds off the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans winner. Last year&rsquo;s time (3:59.883 S&eacute;bastien Baud, Corvette) has been well and truly smashed! However, Benjamin Barker&rsquo;s overall class record still stands. He set a best lap time of 3:55.263 in the Proton Competition #77 Ford Mustang in last year&rsquo;s qualifying session.

With Toyota heading the Hypercar class and Lexus the LMGT3 class, it&rsquo;s smiles all round at Toyota group.

<h2>74</h2>

The Toyota GR010 Hybrid may have been the fastest this Sunday, but it didn&rsquo;t cover the most ground. It clocked up 71 laps in the six hours of practice time (give or take interruptions), as did the #311 Cadillac V-Series.R and the Gibson Algarve Pro Racing #25 Oreca 07. The Team WRT #15 BMW M Hybrid V8 banked the most track time, completing 74 laps. The Kessel Racing #57 Ferrari 296 LMGT3 covered 69 laps, two more than the Vista AF Corse #21 and #54. The Inter Europol Competition #34 LMP2 only managed 40 laps. Luca Ghiotti crashed out between the Porsche Curves and the Karting early in the day, which meant time in the garage to repair the damage.

<h2>254</h2>

With four 963s on track &ndash; three of them factory-entered &ndash; Porsche is the manufacturer who bagged the most laps. 254 to be precise. Cadillac totalled 253 thanks to the #311, #12, #38 and #101. Aston Martin clocked the least mileage with 125 laps.

<h2>344.5</h2>

Nicol&aacute;s Varrone and Frederik Vesti both hit the 344.5 kph mark. The drivers of the #99 Porsche 963 and #311 Cadillac V-Series.R are among the eight drivers to have topped 340 kph. Malte Jakobsen was almost there, with 339.1 kph in the #94 9X8. Tom Gamble in the #007 Valkyrie has more to make up (334.9 kph).

<h2>39</h2>

Track temperature was markedly different between the two sessions. It got gradually warmer as the morning progressed reaching 22&deg;C by the end of session 1. The afternoon session opened with 33&deg;C, rising to 39&deg;C mid-session and then dropping back to 34&deg;C by the evening. Conditions were very similar to last year&rsquo;s Test Day.

<h2>what does this mean for the race?</h2>

Test Day is always a dilemma. Do you flex your muscles and show your pace, or keep your hand to your chest until race day? Teams often opt to keep their form a secret until later in the week. However, the charts are still an indication of how teams are doing. What should we expect next weekend? Stiff competition in all classes. There is little to choose between the eight Hypercar makes and any race incident would set the cat among the pigeons. In LMP2, the uniform grid makes predictions difficult. All the teams are potential winners! And in LMGT3, Lexus looks to have a car suited to La Sarthe, but has yet to win at Le Mans. For all teams, the podium is still a long way off.&nbsp;

24 Hours of Le Mans Test Day - Key Figures

The second Free Practice session of the day, a second chance for teams to gather another round of data to help fine tune set-ups ahead of their race simulations, scenarios and qualifying procedures later in the week.

First out of the pitlane once again was the The #15 BMW M Hybrid V8 Hypercar, this time with Dries Vanthoor behind the wheel - with a magnificent sight of 62 Hypercars, LMP2 and LMGT3 cars in one long mouth-watering train was a sight to behold.

<h2>Hypercar</h2>

All the action on the timesheet happened early on, as things heated up immediately, with battle lines drawn within the opening handful of laps. Ferrari and Toyota were chasing each other through the streets of Le Mans yesterday, and this afternoon the two modern day icons of endurance racing went head-to-head from the off. Finishing second in FP1, Brendon Hartely went quickest out of the blocks, knocking off eight tenths off the time set by Robert Kubica this morning to place the #8 Toyota at the top of the time sheet with a 3:26.246.

Interestingly - the performance flex from Hartley not only put him top of the table, it was also under the Hyperpole time from 2024. Watch this space! Meanwhile, in his shadow, keeping a keen eye was British driver James Calado in the #51 Ferrari 499P who shaded the New Zealdander by just 0.531 on the same lap.&nbsp;

Elsewhere, it was to be drama filled. With a little over 20 minutes on the clock, a Full Course Yellow was thrown to provide the marshals a safe window to recover the strikened #009 Aston Martin Valkyrie at Indianapolis corner. With the car making it back to the pits for repairs, the precaution was lifted, and we were under green flag conditions once again.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As teams cycled through their programmes, things started to settle down. However, at the halfway point in the session, plumes of white smoke could be seen coming out out of the back of the #20 BMW M Hybrid V8, with Sheldon van der Linde at the wheel. The car came to a stop on track, at the entry to the high-speed Porsche curves. For the safety of all involved, a red flag was thrown, bringing a pause to the proceedings. Despite this, BMW can be pleased with their showing - making strides up the order with a fourth fastest time at their peak in the session. But for now the BMW and WRT mechanics will have a long night ahead of them as they look to diagnose and resolve the issue.&nbsp;

A red flag was also spring into action with 37 minutes left on the clock - this time the #11 Proton Competition LMP2 car with Giorgo Roda at the helm made contact with the barrier at Indianapolis. With the car on track - there was no option but to call a halt to proceedings.

Red flags breed further red flags and with five minutes left on the clock the third and final red flag was called upon to rescue the strickend #63 Iron Lynx Mercedes LMGT3 driven by Brenton Grove. With only a handful of minutes left on the clock - the session was called early.&nbsp; 
 
It was, however to be positive one for the home crowd as as the #36 Alpine Endurance Team abley guided by Mick Schumacher nestled themselves into the top three ahead of the hard-charging #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport machine in the hands of Laurens Vanthoor who pitched his 963 into fourth ahead of this mornings Free Practice toppers AF Corse with the #83 Ferrari 499P

<h2>LMP2</h2>

The highly competitive LMP2 category for ORECA built, Gibson powered prototype cars saw a stand out performance from the United Autosports team who broke out a time of 3:35.770 early on in the session and never looked back at the summit of LMP2. The #29 TDS Racing car slotted into second late on in the three-hour practice ahead of the famous #199 AO by TF LMP2 car - more commonly known as &lsquo;Spike&rsquo; finishing in a strong third.&nbsp;

<h2>LMGT3</h2>

It was status quo in the LMGT3 category, with the #87 Lexus once again topping the billing -&nbsp; destroying the 2024 Hyperpole time by nearly three seconds. The #21 Vista AF Corse and #57 Kessel Racing teams will be buoyant with the pace of their Ferrari 296s with second and third respectively. In fact the pace and advancement of the LMGT3 teams is evident and clear to see, with eight cars already under the marker from last year and we still have several sessions before Hyperpole to come. It&rsquo;s simmering nicely!&nbsp;

<h2>Talking Points&hellip;</h2>

All eyes are on the defending champions Ferrari. The scarlet red cars have won the last two editions of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, with wins in 2023 and last year in 2024. 2023 Le Mans winner and 2025 FIA WEC championship points leader Antonio Giovinazzi spoke ahead of the Test Day, underlining the importance of the race, overall championship and pressures bestowed upon the Scuderia.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&ldquo;We are really happy to be back in Le Mans, it&rsquo;s a very special race, a special track - it&rsquo;s nice to race here. The last two years have been positive for Ferrari and the #51 in particular. A win in 2023 and a podium last year has given us lots of nice memories and hopefully we can repeat the result this year. It will be very difficult for many reasons. Le Mans is a long race, but we started well in the championship with two victories so the target is to win again, but most importantly score points for the championship - that has to be our focus.&rdquo;

Second for the #51 and seventh for the #50 gives the team in red the foundations to build upon this coming Wednesday for the official Free Practice 1.

Toyota up the pace during red flag filled Le Mans Test session

Hypercars under the microscope | Aston Martin has ventured into the world of Hypercar with the Valkyrie in the hope of overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Valkyrie is a true phenomenon in that it is the only Hypercar derived from a street-legal vehicle. A singular profile that combines performance and the challenges of endurance.

While Aston Martin&rsquo;s rivals have designed prototypes dedicated entirely to racing, the iconic British manufacturer has taken a different route by adapting its Valkyrie road-going Hypercar for the racetrack. The approach is certainly bold, but one made possible by the technical regulations governing the Hypercar class which authorise cars derived from production models &ndash; if they have been significantly modified for racing.

The result is&nbsp;a breathtaking machine, originally intended for the road but redesigned for Le Mans, and now optimised for the world&rsquo;s two major endurance series, the FIA WEC and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

<h2>A V12 under the hood!</h2>

Powering the la Valkyrie is a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine designed by Cosworth. In the street-legal version, this engine reaches 11,000 rpm and exceeds 1,000 horsepower. It has however been reined in to comply with the 500 kW (680 hp) ceiling laid down by the competition rulebook, while preserving its personality.

Aston Martin has opted to cut back the engine&rsquo;s horsepower and revs to boost its reliability and fuel consumption &ndash; a key factor in endurance. The outcome is a more efficient engine capable of going the distance while preserving the pure sensations procured by a V12.

The Valkyrie is built on a rigid, ultra-light carbon fibre monocoque chassis. The car&rsquo;s aerodynamics are inherited from the combined expertise of Marek Reichman, Chief Creative Officer, and Adrian Newey, the renowned Formula One engineer who recently joined Aston Martin F1. The pair has designed an outline that generates optimal downforce within the strict limits mapped out by the Balance of Performance (BoP). 
The racing version includes quick-release fairings front and rear, a centralised refuelling system and a redesigned&nbsp;cockpit&nbsp;to improve safety and the driver&#39;s field of view.

The Valkyrie boasts double-wishbone suspension with pushrods and adjustable dampers. With this setup, fine-tuning is extremely precise &ndash; an essential feature when it comes to tweaking the car to suit the various circuits on the championship calendar. Like all Hypercars, the Valkyrie is shod with 18-inch Michelin tyres developed specifically for Hypercar racing.

An Xtrac seven-speed sequential gearbox with a steering wheel-mounted paddle shift system guarantees ultrarapid gear change.

</div>

&nbsp;

<h2>Seeking legendary status for the Valkyrie</h2>

Since its first outing in the summer of 2024, the Valkyrie has covered over 15,000 km in testing. The development programme crossed Europe (Donington, Silverstone, Vallelunga, Jerez) before moving onto the Middle East (Bahrain, Qatar) and then the United States (Road Atlanta, Sebring, Daytona) for testing under a variety of challenging conditions. The Heart of Racing team carries the manufacturer&rsquo;s ambitions in both WEC and IMSA with its sights set on a prestigious victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Measuring up to the world&rsquo;s greatest constructors and rivalling with them from day one in the championship standings would be a remarkable feat. While other makes have several seasons of experience under their belts, Aston Martin is taking its first steps in the class. The British manufacturer is setting out on a long learning curve at the peak of endurance. Seeing the two Valkyries reach the chequered flag would therefore be a fine success in itself. 
Aston Martin Thor Team currently stands in eighth spot in the FIA Hypercar Manufacturers&rsquo; Championship.

For Aston Martin, returning to the top class of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Valkyrie is much more than a sporting challenge, it&rsquo;s a demonstration of know-how. By combining the best of its road hypercar with the demands of endurance, the British firm is being driven by a tradition of innovation that could lead to a historic win.
