The 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours will feature many changes from 2023 - so what are they?
The world’s most prestigious endurance race is back as this weekend drivers will tackle Circuit de la Sarthe for the Le Mans 24 Hours. Ferrari is the defending champion having won the race’s centenary edition in 2023, which was its first overall victory at Le Mans since 1965. But the Italian manufacturer has bigger competition this year as the Hypercar class, introduced in 2021, now consists of 23 cars rather than 16 and Le Mans has not had a top category so large this century.
This led to Le Mans’s LMP2 winner from 2017 Oliver Jarvis claiming “it’s as competitive as it’s ever been” after his United Autosports car, which is shared with Bijoy Garg and Nolan Siegel, qualified fifth. The absence of Garage 56 Garage 56 is the entry that the Le Mans organiser Automobile Club de l’Ouest sets aside to offer innovative technology at Circuit de la Sarthe - which was perfectly represented on its debut in 2012.
