During the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans race week, hydrogen took center stage. On track, in the village, and throughout the city, this energy carrier showcased its potential through spectacular demonstrations and real-world applications. From the Ligier Bosch JS2 RH2 to the Alpenglow Hy6 reaching over 312 km/h, and from the hydrogen inspection bus to the hydrogen-powered aircraft, motorsport’s move toward decarbonization is clearly underway.

During the week-long event of the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, hydrogen demonstrated to spectators its potential on the track and its various uses, already well established. On the track, the Le Mans circuit, the Le Mans airfield, and the streets of Le Mans were able to accommodate various hydrogen vehicles. This energy carrier, which will be introduced in competitions, in endurance racing, at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship starting in 2028, is one of the solutions for decarbonizing motor racing and mobility. 
 
In the ACO H2 village, racing prototypes were on display, as well as MissionH24, a collaborative program between the ACO and H24Project, as well as a TotalEnergies H2 station, which allowed the Alpenglow Hy6 and the Ligier Bosch JS2 RH2 to be refueled before their demonstrations on the legendary Sarthe circuit. Relive the 312.9 km/h of the Alpenglow Hy6 but also the official inspection of the track by hydrogen bus or the presentation of a hydrogen plane or the announcement of the MissionH24-Toyota Gazoo Racing partnership

Ferrari has just unveiled the 296 GT3 Evo – the upgraded version of its GT racing car. The new model will be unleashed in the LMGT3 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in 2026.

Three years after the introduction of the 296 GT3, Ferrari has presented a new and improved version: the 296 GT3 Evo. Ferrari has drawn on client feedback and the experience gained with the 296 LMGT3 in the FIA World Endurance Championship since 2024. The upgrade capitalises on an impressive track record of 140 victories, 405 podiums and 56 pole positions to offer customer teams an ever more competitive model that will be ready to take up the challenges of top-level endurance &ndash; especially the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans.

<h2>Aerodynamics cut out for endurance</h2>

The twin-turbo V6 remains unchanged with the same 120&deg; hot-vee configuration. Unsurprisingly, as it guarantees excellent efficiency, linear torque delivery and tried-and-tested reliability. The engine remains in the same position as in the 296 GT3, further forward and lower down than on the road-going version. What is new, however, is a revised gear ratio cascade to offer better driveability at all engine speeds. On top of the mechanical upgrades, the aerodynamic package of the 296 GT3 Evo has been completely redeveloped to ensure more predictable stability in slipstream situations and more consistent downforce, notably through a redesigned rear diffuser, new vortex generators, a modified front end and a rear wing equipped with a quick adjustment system.

Progress has also been made on the aerodynamic efficiency of the 296 GT3 Evo thanks to a refined development methodology combining wind tunnel testing with CFD calculations. Performance was then checked through track tests in traffic conditions. The outcome is a more predictable car offering outstanding aerodynamic performance even in disturbed air, as is often encountered in endurance.

Ferrari_296_GT3_Evo_detail_rear.jpg

Ferrari_296_GT3_Evo_detail_+wing_1.jpg

<h2>A car designed with clients in mind</h2>

The cockpit, designed for client racing drivers, retains its intuitive ergonomic characteristics while incorporating an enhanced air conditioning system &ndash; vital for 24-hour races. The front and rear suspension has been modified with the aim of reducing mechanical loads, improving reliability and ensuring a more uniform dynamic response between the front and rear axles.

In addition to the new air intakes in the front bonnet and the redesigned rear wing, the 296 GT3 Evo is drawing on the LMGT3 experience in the shape of the rear side panels and the modified rear-view mirrors for improved visibility and less vibration.

The Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo will make its racing debut in 2026. It will be homologated for the LMGT3 class of the FIA WEC, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and will be available as an upgrade kit for teams already competing with the 296 GT3.

Jamie Chadwick of IDEC Sport made an impression at her first 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite her solid, consistent racing, her car did not cross the finish line due to an incident in the 17th hour.

British driver Chadwick calmly displayed her regularity and good pace at the wheel of the #18 Oreca 07-Gibson she shared with three-time Le Mans winner Andr&eacute; Lotterer and young Frenchman Mathys Jaubert. An altogether promising start for the 27-year-old Briton. However, Sunday dawned with a stroke of bad luck for the IDEC Sport crew when the car lost a wheel.

<h2>A promising Le Mans d&eacute;but</h2>

Like most racing drivers, Chadwick had long dreamed of Le Mans. Her first taste of the race was with IDEC Sport in LMP2. She demonstrated her talent right from the moment she took the wheel. When she took over from Andr&eacute; Lotterer 6 hours into the race, she completed a clean, solid double stint, moving the car up to sixth place.

&ldquo;It was an incredible week, regardless of the outcome. It was a bit of a dream to be able to compete here, and we were having a really good race actually,&rdquo; said Chadwick. &ldquo;We&#39;ve lacked a bit of pace all week, so we didn&#39;t know if we would be in the fight for anything, especially after qualifying, but just had a really nice strategy, made no mistakes, and found ourselves in a good position, so it was all coming together quite nicely.&rdquo;

The number #18&rsquo;s adaptability and well-matched crew put the car among the leaders. Jaubert was even running in second place after 205 laps, proving that the French team was legitimate in setting its sights on a podium place. But the goal was set aside when, shortly after 8 am, Andr&eacute; Lotterer stopped the car on the edge of the track having lost the rear right wheel.

&ldquo;Just a bit bittersweet in many senses, so that was our race done. It would have been great to have finished it, but we learned a huge amount, and [I&rsquo;m] looking forward to what&#39;s next.&rdquo; added Chadwick who is <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/jamie-chadwick-intends-to-work-her-way-up-to-hypercar-59730">headed for&nbsp;</a><a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/jamie-chadwick-intends-to-work-her-way-up-to-hypercar-59730">the Hypercar class with Genesis Magma Racing</a>.

<h2>A unique learning experience</h2>

Racing aside, Chadwick appreciated the magic of Le Mans to the full. &quot;This is why Le Mans is so special. I would describe it as one of the most special races in motorsport, but also one of the most special events in the sport. I think the history, the prestige, the spectacle of what you see... is incredible, and then you combine that with close, competitive racing that goes to the very end of 24 hours. It&#39;s like no other.&rdquo;

Won over by the atmosphere and the adoring crowds, she enthuses: &ldquo;There&#39;s such a huge fan base for this race, and it&#39;s almost a festival. British people that came down, especially just for this race, and it&#39;s not just about the race, it&#39;s about the whole week. It&#39;s about everything, the traditions. We have the scrutineering in the town. We have the parade on Friday and everything put together is what make it so special.&quot;

RVA_2524JT_DSC_6642.jpg

At 27, Chadwick has added a prestigious event to her already illustrious track record, especially in single-seater racing: in W series and Indy NXT (the stage before Indycar). Her first 24 Hours of Le Mans confirms her potential for success in endurance racing, despite the DNF. The Lotterer/Chadwick/Jaubert crew will be attempting to retain their lead in the European Le Mans Series in the third round, 3-6 July in Imola, Italy.

2025 24 Hours of Le Mans: Jamie Chadwick stopped short by the wheel of misfortune

If you’re a fan of stats, read on! We have compiled some more facts and figures for you from the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans won by the AF Corse #83 Ferrari 499P.

<h2>20,009</h2>

The total number of laps completed by the competitors who saw the chequered flag at the end of the 93rd running of the legendary race. This represents approximately 272,473 km &ndash; 6.8 times the circumference of the world.

<h2>1,986</h2>

The number of marshals officiating at the race. All in all, 3,206 volunteers helped the event run smoothly.

<h2>1,901</h2>

The number of pit stops made during the race.

<h2>216</h2>

The number of cameras used to film and broadcast the event. No fewer than 148 of them were mounted inside the cars.

<h2>166</h2>

Robert Kubica was the driver who completed the greatest number of laps in this 93rd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He was at the wheel for 166 of the 387 laps covered by the race-winning #83 Ferrari 499P. Conversely, Proton Competition driver Giammarco Levorato, in the #88 Ford Mustang LMGT3, spent the least time on track (two laps).

<h2>6</h2>

Six slow zones were triggered during the race. They accounted for an aggregate time of 33 minutes and 29 seconds. A slow zone is activated for the safety of the marshals or rescue crews who need to intervene on the track at any given time. An 80&nbsp;kph speed limit is introduced and overtaking is strictly forbidden in the slow zone.

<h2>1</h2>

Race Control called out the safety car on just one occasion during the race when the #24 Oreca 07-Gibson of Nielsen Racing went off into the tyre barrier. The intervention lasted 39 minutes and 21 seconds.

More key facts and figures from the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans

Porsche Penske Motorsport came within a whisker of victory at the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans, eventually settling for a hard-won runner-up spot. Despite a solid strategy and the absence of technical hitches, the #6 Porsche 963 was eclipsed by the #83 Ferrari 499P of AF Corse.

Porsche&rsquo;s dream of a 20th outright victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans so very nearly came true. After completing 387 laps of the fabled circuit, Porsche Penske Motorsport&rsquo;s #6 <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/the-porsche-963-under-the-microscope-built-for-win-20-59742" target="_blank">Porsche 963</a>&nbsp;of K&eacute;vin Estre, Laurens Vanthoor and Matt Campbell crossed the finish line in second place, just&nbsp;14.084 seconds behind AF Corse&rsquo;s #83 Ferrari 499P. A tiny margin as befitted a race that was high on intensity from the moment Roger Federer waved the French national flag.

Relegated to the back of the Hypercar grid following an infringement in qualifying, the #6 Porsche wasted no time in rectifying the situation. On the very first lap, K&eacute;vin Estre overtook seven rivals to move his 963 up into the shadows of the leading group. And in less than two hours, the Hypercar that triumphed at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring at the beginning of the season figured among the contenders for outright victory. A swift pace and perfectly controlled pitstops kept the #6 Porsche in touch with the leading Ferraris through to the chequered flag.

&ldquo;We delivered an absolutely perfect race and virtually had one hand on the biggest trophy &ndash; you don&#39;t often come that close to such a triumph. What a pity!&rdquo;&nbsp;said a disappointed yet realistic&nbsp;Laurens Vanthoor. This runner-up spot is nonetheless the best result achieved by Porsche since the manufacturer&rsquo;s return to the top class with the 963, and underlines the progress made by the hybrid prototype developed in partnership with Multimatic.

<h2>Three Porsche 963s in the Top Ten</h2>

The German stable&rsquo;s overall performance was quite remarkable with three factory Porsche 963s in the Top Ten. The #5 driven by Julien Andlauer, Michael Christensen&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mathieu Jaminet&nbsp;even took the lead at the beginning of the race before a puncture and several penalties threw a spanner in the works. The trio finished with a frustrating yet promising sixth place, one lap down on the winner. 
The #4 prototype shared by Felipe Nasr, Nick Tandy and Pascal Wehrlein was eighth. Rookie Wehrlein, the 2023-2024 Formula E world champion, was delighted with his race. &ldquo;We lost all chance of success relatively early on due to a penalty and bad luck with a yellow flag phase,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;However, I personally had a lot of fun &ndash; it was a great new experience. I learnt a lot and got faster and faster.&rdquo;

<h2>A 20th win the target for 2026</h2>

Notably, the three Porsche 963s all completed the race without any technical gremlins. Although the #6 crew showed superb consistency and strategy, the car occasionally lacked pure pace to threaten the winning Ferrari over the long haul. &ldquo;We got the absolute maximum out of our #6 Porsche and certainly have nothing to hide,&rdquo; said Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President of Porsche Motorsport. &ldquo;Of course, we also look back on the result with a teary eye: in the end, we were just 14 seconds short of overall victory. But the joy and the thanks to everyone who was involved outweigh this.&rdquo;

Porsche will therefore have to wait at least another year to clinch a 20th outright 24 Hours of Le Mans success. The Stuttgart-based firm still leads the all-time manufacturer wins table ahead of Audi (13) and Ferrari (12).

Beyond the sporting arena, Porsche continues its commitment to those less fortunate through its <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/with-racing-for-charity-porsche-builds-up-hope-lap-after-lap-59669" target="_blank">Racing for Charity</a>&nbsp;initiative, donating 500 euro per completed lap to two children&rsquo;s charities. With the three cars achieving a mammoth total of 1,159 laps, the manufacturer will hand over &euro;579,500 to Interplast Germany e.V. and Kinderherzen retten e.V. The ACO once again hailed this commitment by awarding the President&rsquo;s prize to Porsche at the Sustainable Endurance Awards by DHL.

2025 24 Hours of Le Mans – Porsche Penske Motorsport so close to win number 20

On 18 June 2000, Audi won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time. Twenty-five years later, this win by the R8 bearing the number 8 and driven by Frank Biela, Tom Kristensen and Emanuele Pirro is considered the key moment that paved the way to establishing the Audi legend at Le Mans.

After a promising d&eacute;but in 1999 &ndash; resulting in a third place for the #8 R8R of Biela/Theys/Pirro and a fourth place for the #7 R8R of Alboreto/Capello/A&iuml;ello &ndash; Audi returned in 2000 with the new R8. The aim was clear: secure a maiden victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The goal was achieved superbly as the #8 shared by Frank Biela, Tom Kristensen and Emanuele Pirro won the race, covering 368 laps, followed home by the #9 sister car, driven by Laurent Aiello, Allan McNish and St&eacute;phane Ortelli, one lap behind. Incidentally, the second-placed line-up had won the 24 Hours of Le Mans two years earlier with the Porsche 911 GT1. Car #7 of Christian Abt, Michele Alboreto and Rinaldo Capello, three laps in arrears, rounded out the podium. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m absolutely overwhelmed. You cannot have a better car for victory than that,&rdquo; said a delighted Dr Wolfgang Ullrich, Audi&rsquo;s Head of Sport, at the finish.

<h2>Carte blanche</h2>

Audi dominated the race from flag to flag without laying down any team orders, giving the drivers carte blanche to battle for position on equal terms. The winners naturally appreciated the strategy. &ldquo;Dr Ullrich believed in all his drivers,&rdquo; recalled Emanuele Pirro, &ldquo;and had faith in us that we would behave professionally despite fighting for the lead with the other Audis. Nevertheless, at the end of the race, there were no hard fights [...] because we all knew that we needed to bring the cars home to the finish safely.&rdquo;

Guided by the firm&rsquo;s slogan &ldquo;Vorsprung durch Technik&rdquo; (Progress Through Technology), Audi gave plenty of evidence of the R8&rsquo;s performance and reliability. This prototype, powered by a 3.6-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, was unusual in that the rear module (gearbox and undercarriage) could be fully swapped out relatively quickly. Thanks to this design, the service crew were able to change the rear sections of the #7 and #9 in just eight minutes during the race, without compromising their competitiveness. A strategic innovation in a race as challenging as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This victory was the first of 13 that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/how-audi-stepped-up-to-the-24-hours-of-le-mans-challenge-56711" target="_blank">Audi notched up at Le Mans between 2000 and 2014</a>. A reign that had a profound impact on the history of endurance and the French endurance classic.

Twenty-five years since Audi’s remarkable Le Mans-winning streak began with the R8

Manthey Racing won the LMGT3 class for the second year in a row as the Manthey 1st Phorm #92 Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3 followed up on the Manthey EMA #91 car’s 2024 success. Austrian Richard Lietz was driver on both occasions – this time sharing the wheel with Ryan Hardwick and Riccardo Pera.

The #92 Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3 entered by Manthey 1st Phorm won the LMGT3 class &ndash; the second consecutive win for the German team. Placed in the capable hands of American Ryan Hardwick, Italian Riccardo Pera and Austrian Richard Lietz, the #92 Porsche crossed the finish line 33 seconds ahead of the #21 Ferrari 296 LMGT3 of Vista AF Corse.

Qualifying in fifth position on the LMGT3 grid, the crew enjoyed a solid start to the race in a highly competitive field. The three drivers applied pressure right from the off and gradually moved through the pack,&nbsp;taking the class lead after 10 hours of the race. A long face-off then ensued with the Vista AF Corse #21 Ferrari until the early hours of the morning. The #92 Porsche managed to open up a decisive gap at dawn before taking the chequered flag after 24 hours of intense racing.

&ldquo;I still can&#39;t believe our class win! This is definitely one of the best experiences of my entire life,&rdquo; said a thrilled Ryan Hardwick. &ldquo;My family, close friends and business partners were here with me. Only the best teams win at Le Mans. Manthey and Porsche gave us the best possible support. I&rsquo;m surely the only person in the world to have won both the world jet-ski championship and the Le Mans 24 Hours&hellip; I think I&rsquo;ll keep that record for some time!&rdquo;

<h2>Lietz makes history</h2>

This win was Richard Lietz&rsquo;s sixth in the GT classes at Le Mans &ndash; all with Porsche. The ever-loyal Lietz has been behind the wheel of the German brand&rsquo;s machines for almost two decades and joins the ultra-select club of drivers with the most victories in the history of the GT classes at the French endurance classic.

&ldquo;To win as many times, first you need to be very old!&rdquo; the 41-year-old Austrian joked. &ldquo;Le Mans has often been kind to me since 2007. Manthey offered me a new opportunity at a time when I was thinking of retiring. Here we are, two years later and two more wins&hellip; We have a fast car that is perfectly balanced to look after the tyres. It was a true, old-style endurance race and I love that.&rdquo;

Although he had already appeared twice on the Le Mans podium, this was the first time Riccardo Pera made it to the top step. At the finish, the emotional Italian hailed the all-round performance of the crew and the team. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve already a WEC win to my name but here at Le Mans, I&rsquo;d never been in first place,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;After a P2 and a P3, I told my teammates that we could do better this year. And we did! The car was so fast and the team was perfect. I&rsquo;m speechless!&rdquo;

With this latest LMGT3 triumph, Porsche increased its total number of class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans to 112 and reinforced its status as the most successful make in the history of the race.

Our photo gallery below captures the highlights of the successful week enjoyed by the Manthey 1st Phorm #92 Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3 at the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans.

LMGT3: Manthey 1st Phorm and Richard Lietz hit the heights

At the 2025 24 Hours, McLaren officially announced its Hypercar destined for the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) in 2027. The British constructor has hidden a series of numbers on the car's bodywork, and here's a breakdown.
