From the start to the very end of the endurance battle, from sun up to sun down and then back, from overcast to fair weather, drivers and teams are pulling whatever means necessary to survive and thrive in this legendary endurance event. Of course, there are inevitable moments occurred but it's all part of the Le Mans experience. There are those who rise and those who fall.

After 24 hours of drama and thriller poured, Toyota defended its Le Mans success in the new Hypercar class with the #7 Toyota Gazoo Racing car emerging as the winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Meanwhile, AF CORSE scored big wins in Le Mans with the #51 winning the LMGTE PRO class while the #83 won the LMGTE AM class. The #31 Team WRT won the LMP2 class while the #21 DragonSpeed USA won the LMP2 PRO AM class.

That is the end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans but the WEC 2021 season rages on as the next event will be at Sakhir for the 6 Hours of Bahrain on the 30th of October, 2021.
