The 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans (French: 94^e 24 Heures du Mans) was an automobile endurance race held from 13 to 14 June 2026 at the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France. It was the 94th running of the 24 hours of Le Mans organised by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest.^[1] Cars competed in three classes: Hypercar (both Le Mans Hypercar and LMDh variants), LMP2, and LMGT3.

In qualifying, pole position was taken by Dries Vanthoor in a BMW M Team WRT Hypercar. The race was closely contested, with numerous lead changes between BMW, Cadillac and Toyota; seven cars finished on the lead lap.^[2] The overall classification was won by the #7 Toyota Hypercar, driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries.

In addition to all full-season WEC entries, automatic invitations were given to all championship winners in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS), LMP2 and LMGT3 in the Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS) and Bronze Cup in GT World Challenge Europe's (GTWCE) combined Endurance and Sprint championship. Second-place finishers in LMP2 in the ELMS also earned an invite. Three IMSA teams were also granted invitations, one in Hypercar at the discretion of IMSA, and one each for the Jim Trueman and Bob Akin awards, given to the highest placed Bronze-rated drivers in IMSA's LMP2 and GT3 classes.^{[citation needed]}

Notes

• ^1 – The #38 Cadillac Hertz Team Jota set a time of 3:22.559, but it was later deleted after the completion of Hyperpole 2 due to leaving the working lane to join the fast lane of the pit area before being authorised to do so, before the start of the final session.^[34]
• ^2 – The #29 Forestier Racing by Panis set the fastest time in Hyperpole 2, but received a one-place grid penalty for impeding the #58 Garage 59 McLaren.^[35]
• ^3 – The #34 Racing Team Turkey by TF set the fastest time in the first Qualifying session but was disqualified after failing post-session scrutineering. Officials found the Corvette's rear diffuser strake height to have breached regulations having suffered excessive wear.^[36]

The ceremonial starter was cyclist Mark Cavendish. By the first corner, Cadillac's Will Stevens overtook pole-sitter Kevin Magnussen. When the cars reached the Mulsanne Straight on the first lap, René Rast in the other BMW took the lead. Both Ferrari AF Corse cars gained places on the opening lap, the #51 gaining one place to 7th and the #50 moving from 12th on the grid to 9th. Mike Conway in the #7 Toyota used an undercut,^[37] pitting after only 29 minutes followed by the sister #8 car. At the one hour mark, and after the first round of stops, this strategy had put the #8 car in the lead with the #7 car in fifth position.^{[citation needed]}

After two and a half hours, Antonio Fuoco in the #50 car made contact with an LMP2 and spun, but quickly rejoined without further incident. In the fourth hour, a full-course yellow flag forced the #20 BMW, #12 Cadillac, and #101 Cadillac into the pits for emergency services. Later, Alessandro Pier Guidi in the #51 car slid and crashed into the #9 Proton Competition LMP2 at the Forest esses, forcing them both into the bollards, although both cars had minimal damage. The #51 Ferrari AF Corse was given a drive-through penalty for the incident, dropping it from sixth to tenth. The #83 AF Corse was given a 5-second penalty for an unsafe release from the pit lane.^[38] After the #8 Toyota pitted before the fifth hour, Jack Aitken's #38 Cadillac took the lead from Sheldon van der Linde. Dries Vanthoor's #15 BMW clipped the #3 DKR LMP2 in the Porsche Curves, damaging Vanthoor's bodywork and causing a puncture.^[39]

The safety car was deployed after the #88 Proton Ford and #54 AF Corse Ferrari LMGT3s crashed at the Forest esses, with the #54 car becoming stranded in the gravel. As multiple cars took pit stops under the safety car, the lead rapidly changed hands several times, going to Sébastien Buemi's #8 Toyota, followed by René Rast's #20 BMW, Will Stevens' #12 Cadillac, Earl Bamber's #38 Cadillac, and Nicklas Nielsen's #50 Ferrari.^[40] Immediately after the end of the safety car, the #50 Ferrari was forced to pit with a fire extinguisher system issue, which took 29 minutes to fix. Mathys Jaubert's #17 Genesis then suffered a puncture.^[41]

The #8 Toyota pitted during the tenth hour, giving Cadillac the 1-2 positions, with the #12 in the lead, after both cleared the BMW of Rast.^[42] Paul-Loup Chatin's #19 Genesis briefly stopped with an issue, causing a full-course yellow flag. The #38 Cadillac suffered a power steering issue, forcing a half-hour pitstop that dropped them 7 laps. The #8 Toyota and #101 Cadillac were given drive-through penalties for speeding under the full-course yellow.^[43] The #19 Genesis experienced more problems when it pulled over on the road and required a power cycle to rejoin the race several laps down. The #38 Cadillac returned to the pits with further power steering problems; they were unable to rejoin the race and retired.^[44]

By the 16th hour, the #12 Cadillac held a 47-second lead over the #8 Toyota, with the #20 BMW in third.^[45] However, the #12 of Louis Delétraz was given a drive-through penalty for speeding in a slow zone. This gave Brendon Hartley's #8 Toyota the lead, though under pressure from Sheldon van der Linde's #20 BMW. Mathys Jaubert's #17 Genesis snapped its right-front suspension after going over a kerb, forcing retirement.^[46] The #8 Toyota next required a brake drum mounting change, dropping to fourth. The #50 Ferrari pulled over due to an electrical issue, retiring from the race and causing a safety car. At the restart, the running order was Robin Frijns' #20 BMW leading, followed by Norman Nato's #12 Cadillac, Kamui Kobayashi's #7 Toyota, and Ryo Hirakawa's #8 Toyota.^[47]

With four and a half hours remaining, Robin Frijns drove through the gravel in pit entry—the time lost meaning his #20 BMW emerged fourth after the pit stops.^[48] The #12 Cadillac driven by Norman Nato inherited the lead, but struggled at the end of its stint, allowing both Brendon Hartley in the #8 and Nyck de Vries in the #7 to pass, giving Toyota the 1-2 positions by the end of the 21st hour.^[49] With De Vries already on new tyres, the next pit sequence allowed the #7 to cycle into the lead, with a 22-second margin to the #20 BMW.^[50]

Just before the beginning of the final hour, the #009 Aston Martin suffered a rear suspension failure; driver Alex Riberas reached the pits but rejoined several laps down.^[51] With 47 minutes left, Robin Frijns in the #20 BMW overtook Sébastien Buemi's #8 Toyota, running on older tyres, for second place. The race ended with the #7 Toyota driven by Kamui Kobayashi in first place, with Robin Frijns in the #20 BMW in second, and Sébastien Buemi third for the #8 Toyota.^{[citation needed]}

Although Esteban Masson set the fastest time in hyperpole, a one-place grid penalty incurred by Louis Rousset in qualifying meant the #29 Forestier Racing by Panis did not start from pole.^[52] The #28 IDEC Sport led the field to green instead, and Job van Uitert kept the class lead early on followed by the #30 Duqueine Team. The #4 CrowdStrike Racing by APR started on pole for the Pro-Am class.^{[citation needed]}

The #28 IDEC underwent a driver change to Paul Lafargue, and the #30 Duqueine of Richard Verschoor took the lead before the third hour. The #29 Forestier by Panis overtook the #28 IDEC to take second position. P. J. Hyett in the #99 AO by TF led the Pro-Am class.^[53] As Doriane Pin led in the #30, the #3 DKR Engineering suffered a broken suspension and had to pit, losing half an hour.^[38] By the fourth hour, Oliver Gray regained second in the #29 Forestier by Panis, but would drop to fifth after a spin by Louis Rousset, allowing the #343 Inter Europol to take second.^[54]

Julien Andlauer in the #30 Duqueine gradually built a lead of 91 seconds going into the night, but this was erased by the first safety car intervention.^[55] After the restart in hour 9, Andlauer pitted immediately from the lead, but after the pit cycle, retook first position in the hands of Verschoor. The #99 AO by TF led the Pro-Am class and was eleventh in LMP2.^[41] After many different pitstop strategies among the teams, the #343 Inter Europol emerged as the leader with Nico Müller driving away from Doriane Pin in the #30 Duqueine.^[56]

In hour 14, the #343 Inter Europol of Reshad de Gerus and #30 Duqueine of Julien Andlauer traded places, with the latter coming out on top. The #4 CrowdStrike by APR continued to lead in Pro-Am.^[44] The #99 AO by TF of Dane Cameron locked up going into Mulsanne Corner and hit the tire barrier, leading to a slow zone intervention.^[57] With 8 hours remaining, the #14 TDS of Kévin Estre went off and got beached at Indianapolis corner while running second in the Pro-Am class.^[58] Due to a full-course yellow for debris, Doriane Pin in the #30 Duqueine had to take an emergency service fuel stop, but still led the class. Tom Dillmann in the #43 Inter Europol was shown the black and orange flag due to his right-hand door not shutting, and dropped from second to third. Additionally, Jonas Ried in the #9 Proton Competition ran through an advertising banner at the Dunlop Chicane and suffered damage.^[59]

Shortly after Richard Verschoor lost the lead to Reshad de Gerus, the #30 Duqueine was forced to retire with a terminal brake failure in hour 21.^[49] Going into the final hour, the #43 Inter Europol led from the #29 Forestier by VPS, who overtook the #343 Inter Europol.^[60] The race ended with an Inter Europol 1–2, with Tom Dillmann, Jakub Śmiechowski and Nick Yelloly driving the #43 to victory, ahead of Nico Müller in the #343 and Esteban Masson in the #29 Forestier by VPS, which required a late splash and dash. The #4 CrowdStrike by APR of Laurin Heinrich, George Kurtz and Alex Quinn cruised to victory in LMP2 Pro-Am, beating the #183 AF Corse and #99 AO by TF by over a lap.^[61]

Mattia Drudi started on pole and took the early class lead in the #27 Aston Martin THOR. By the end of the first hour, however, Jack Hawksworth led in the #78 Akkodis ASP Lexus over Ian James who took control of the #27 Aston Martin, with Răzvan Umbrărescu in the #87 Akkodis ASP Lexus in 3rd. Meanwhile, Martin Berry spun the #61 Iron Lynx Mercedes-AMG, returning to the pits with damage. The #88 Proton Competition Mustang was given a black-and-orange flag for bodywork.^[62]

By the 3rd hour, the #91 Manthey Porsche took the lead on an offset strategy, ahead of the #87 Akkodis ASP Lexus and the #21 AF Corse Ferrari. The #13 13 Autosport Corvette suffered a technical issue after contact with a Mercedes-AMG and became the first retirement of the race.^[38] The #78 Akkodis ASP took first position before the #91 Manthey Porsche regained the lead after a round of pitstops. The #61 Iron Lynx AMG retired with suspension failure.^[54]

After the safety car, the #27 Aston Martin led from the #74 Kessel Racing Ferrari and the #21 AF Corse Ferrari, with the #91 Manthey Porsche falling to 7th following a puncture.^[40] In hour 9, the #33 TF Sport Corvette took 2nd position.^[41] At the 10-hour mark, the #34 Racing Team Turkey Corvette driven by Charlie Eastwood rose to 2nd place ahead of the #21 Ferrari. The #54 AF Corse Ferrari collided with the #88 Proton Ford and went into the gravel, becoming the third retirement of the race.^[42]

In the 11th hour, after fluctuating pit strategies, the #78 and #87 Akkodis ASP Lexuses held a 1–2 with the #33 TF Sport Corvette in 3rd.^[63] Halfway through the race, the #79 Iron Lynx retired with engine damage.^[64] In the 13th hour, Aston Martins #27 and #23 held a 1–2 with the #33 Corvette in 3rd. Meanwhile, the #2 TF Sport Corvette and #69 Team WRT BMW received drive-through penalties for speeding under the full-course yellow.^[43] Then, the #33 Corvette led from two Aston Martins, although the #27 Aston Martin and #74 Ferrari were penalized for speeding in a slow zone. A problem and spin for the #62 Mercedes-AMG forced repairs.^[57]

With just less than 6 hours remaining, Ayhancan Güven in the #91 Manthey Porsche crashed on the exit of the first Mulsanne Chicane from 4th position, causing a safety car. The #23 Aston Martin took the lead, with the #33 Corvette and #78 Lexus behind.^[49] With 2 hours remaining, it was the #33 Corvette in the lead followed by the #23 Aston Martin. The polesitter, the #27 Aston Martin, as well as the #69 Team WRT BMW retired both due to gearbox failures.^[65]

Jonny Edgar finished the race in the #33 TF Sport Corvette, taking victory alongside Nicky Catsburg and Ben Keating, ahead of the #78 Akkodis ASP Lexus of Jack Hawksworth. Eduardo Barrichello brought the #23 Heart of Racing Aston Martin home to take third place, fending off the #87 Lexus of José María López.^{[citation needed]}
