2026 24 Hours of Le Mans: Full starting grid after Hyperpole

The full grid for the Hypercar, LMP2 and LMGT3 classes have been set for the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans, following Thursday's Hyperpole. 

Qualifying at Le Mans is split of two days, with Wednesday's time attack session determining the top 15 from all three classes who will progress to Hyperpole on Thursday. 

There are two Hyperpole sessions, with the top 10 in Hyperpole 1 going through to fight for pole in Hyperpole 2. 

The LMP2 and LMGT3 cars were out first on Thursday evening on the Circuit de la Sarthe.

The No.29 Panis Racing entry driven by Esteban Masson took pole in the LMP2 class, while the No.27 Heart of Racing Aston driven by Mattia Drudi topped Hyperpole 2 in LMGT3. 

In the Hypercar class, BMW was pipped to pole by just 0.005s from the No.38 Cadillac Hertz Team Jota entry driven by Jack Aitken. 

However, Cadillac's second successive Le Mans pole was stripped from it post-session. The No.15 BMW inherits pole.

It came as Ferrari struggled, with its best car ninth, while Toyota failed to exit Hyperpole 1.
