2025 24 Hours of Le Mans as it happened
Live updates from the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans
The 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans begins at 4pm CET on Saturday 14 June.
The showpiece event of the entire endurance racing year, the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans is the 93rd edition of the iconic event held at the Circuit de la Sarthe in mid-June.
Cadillac will be chasing an historic first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, after it locked out the front row for a maiden pole earlier this week in Hyperpole.
The Jota-run Cadillac's of the No.12 and No.38 cars will lead the field at the start of the race on Saturday and could become the first American manufacturer to win outright at Le Mans since Ford in 1969.
Cadillac - who has four cars on the grid in Hypercar - will face stiff opposition, however, with six manufacturers expected to be in the mix for victory over the next 24 hours.
Last year's winners Ferrari struggled in qualifying, with the 2024 victor No.50 car only seventh, while the No.51 car and the No.83 AF Corse entry 11th and 13th on the grid.
Porsche will be aiming for a 20th victory at Le Mans and the first for Roger Penske, with the Penske Motorsport-run 963s starting from third, fifth and last in class. The No.6 entry was disqualified from Wednesday's qualifying results due to a weight limit infringement.
Toyota goes for a sixth victory at Le Mans on the 40th anniversary of its first visit to the French enduro, though it will do so from far down the grid, in 10th and 16th.
Other marques looking to push themselves into victory contention are BMW and Alpine, while returning Aston Martin and the Peugeot entries look set for a tough race.
Three classes will be on track, with the LMP2 field led off the line by the No.29 TDS Racing entry, while LMGT3 is headed by the No.27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin.
The race runs from 4pm CET Saturday 14 June to 4pm CET on Sunday 15 June, and is a double points round in the World Endurance Championship.

Looks like the No.50 Ferrari has benefitted hugely from the recent slow zone. The Battle for second is tight between the No.6 Porsche, the No.51 Ferrari and the No.83 AF Corse Ferrari.
18:35
The No.59 United Autosports LMGT3 car has been given a drive-through for an unsafe release at the pits.
18:34
The No.50 Ferrari is having a big push. It's 21s clear of the No.6 Porsche.
18:32
Green flag - Hour 4
We're back at racing speeds again.
18:29
Some information from Porsche: neither the No.5 or the No.6 took tyres at their last stops.
18:28
A replay of that incident showed the No.25 running into the back of the No.16 RLR car.
18:27
Full Course Yellow - Hour 4
Full Course Yellow has been called for. Seems like it's for bodywork on the track from the No.25 LMP2 car.
18:26
The field is being prepared for a Full Course Yellow. Not sure why yet.
18:26
The lead gap has come down a bit, but it's still at 10 seconds in favour of the No.50 Ferrari.
18:24
The No.12 Jota Caddy has been in for some fuel. Rejoins 11th.
18:23
The No.5 Porsche is under investigation for a slow zone procedural issue.
18:22
The No.25 Algarve Racing LMP2 car made an error entering the slow zone and clattered into a car ahead of it.
18:22
The No.88 car has been recovered and the green flags are now out again.
That marks our first retirement of Le Mans 2025.
18:21
The No.25 Algarve Racing LMP2 car is in the pits after some sort of incident that left the front of the car with damage.
18:20
The No.50 Ferrari's lead has swelled to 12.2s over the No.6 Porsche. The No.51 Ferrari is third from the No.5 Porsche and the No.83 AF Corse Ferrari.
18:17
So, the crash was for the No.88 - the Proton Competition Mustang - that appears to have lost a wheel going through Tertre Rouge.
18:15
Slow zone is being readied for Zone 3 where that Mustang crashed.
18:14
The No.51 is back ahead now at Michelin. Great race. Apparently that No.5 car didn't take new tyres at its last stop.
18:13
There's been a crash for a Mustang GT3. Yellow flags out.
18:13
The No.5 goes through on the No.51 Ferrari into the Daytona chicane. That's third.
18:11
The No.51 Ferrari is being chased hard by the No.5 Porsche of Jaminet for fourth. 53 laps completed in this race.
18:11
The No.43 Inter Europol LMP2 car is carrying on amid those gearbox issue reports and the lead for Jakub Smiechowski is a healthy 24s.
18:10
The No.50 has opened its lead to 4.5s over the No.6 Porsche. Tyre age appears similar between them, so this is a pretty fair fight right now.
18:08
The No.5 Porsche of Jaminet is up to third ahead of the No.51 Ferrari of Giovinazzi. The No.83 AF Corse car is fifth now as the No.4 Porsche pits.
