LMP2: A beloved class holding its ground
Although LMP2 is no longer part of the FIA WEC season since 2024, the category remains an integral part of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2025, 17 LMP2 entries lined up on the grid, showing that the class continues to thrive thanks to its competitive nature. While its long-term future remains under discussion, LMP2 still delivers some of the closest racing on the grid. The top class in 2025 is defined by variety: eight manufacturers will go head-to-head for the overall win, a rarity in top-level motorsport. These include:
- Ferrari, aiming for a third consecutive win with its 499P LMH entries (#50 and #51), led by factory drivers like Antonio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi.
- Toyota, long-time contenders, bring two GR010 Hybrids as they look to reclaim the crown they lost to Ferrari in 2023.
- Porsche Penske Motorsport, with three works 963s (#5, #6, and a third car #4 added for Le Mans), looking to convert their IMSA success into a Le Mans triumph.
- Cadillac, fielding four entries across multiple teams, is pushing hard to deliver the American brand its first modern-era win.
- BMW returns with the M Hybrid V8, run by Team WRT, which also fields top contenders in LMP2.
