The 2025 edition of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans took place at the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, and the Hypercar grid is now fully booked.
Long before the race, fans who visited the venue were treated to some exciting surprises. Peugeot unveiled the all-new e-208 GTi, an electric hot hatch, and Genesis Magma Racing previewed its upcoming debut in the World Endurance Championship (WEC). Additionally, Ford and McLaren are set to join the WEC Hypercar grid in 2027, with McLaren previewing its competitor for that year.
There has also been significant news regarding hypercar homologation, which has been extended until 2032. For the 2028 season, LMP2 machines will be entirely new, offering a choice between Ligier and Oreca chassis, both powered by Gibson turbo engines. This reveals a promising glimpse into the future of endurance racing.
