The full entry list for next month’s 24 Hours of Le Mans (14-15 June) – the 93rd edition of the twice-round-the-clock marathon – has been published, featuring no fewer than 17 outright winners and 40 more drivers who have previously triumphed in-class.
The legendary La Sarthe contest – renowned as one of the toughest challenges in the sport – will mark round four of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship campaign, offering double points to the top ten-finishing full-time competitors.
Since its inception in 1923, Le Mans has relentlessly tested the limits of human and mechanical endurance – demanding teamwork, resilience and unflinching commitment both day and night in often unpredictable conditions. Its iconic and unforgiving 13.6km circuit is the ultimate proving-ground, where nothing can be taken for granted and only the strongest prevail.
In addition to the 18 regular Hypercar protagonists, the headlining category will feature an extra Porsche Penske Motorsport 963, piloted by current IMSA championship leaders Nick Tandy and Felipe Nasr – the former the only driver to have completed the ‘Grand Slam’ of overall victories in all four major 24-hour races at Le Mans, Daytona, the Nürburgring and Spa – as well as reigning Formula E world champion, Pascal Wehrlein. The German made his FIA WEC bow at Spa-Francorchamps last weekend.
That means there will be four Porsches in the race’s Hypercar field – with a fifth on the reserve list in the shape of a second Proton Competition 963 – and also four Cadillacs, with entries under the Wayne Taylor Racing and Whelen banners alongside the two full-season Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA contenders. 2025 marks 75 years since the first Cadillac competed at Le Mans, and two decades since British outfit JOTA’s maiden appearance at La Sarthe.
The LMGT3 ranks will be swelled by six additions to the 18 permanent FIA WEC entries, including a third Iron Lynx Mercedes-AMG LMGT3 – on the occasion of the three-pointed star’s highly-anticipated return to the race for the first time since 1999 – and a third Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3.
Elsewhere, Lilou Wadoux – Ferrari’s first-ever female factory driver and the first woman to win an FIA WEC race, in the LMGTE Am category at Spa two years ago – will pilot a Ferrari 296 LMGT3, as will Eddie Cheever III, son of former Formula 1 driver and Indianapolis 500 winner, Eddie Cheever.
Ahead of their seventh consecutive outing in the event, meanwhile, the ground-breaking Iron Dames – the only all-female line-up on the grid – have joined forces with TotalEnergies to fuel their ambitions.
Boasting decades of expertise, the French brand has been at the forefront of innovation, pushing the limits of high-performance fuels and sustainable energy solutions to power some of the most memorable moments in endurance racing history, while fervently promoting excellence and equal opportunities on the international stage.
Embracing the belief that, with the right mindset and right approach, anything is possible, the new partnership will race under the tagline ‘Powering Your Dreams’, with a special livery to celebrate the collaboration set to be revealed in due course.
“The 24 Hours of Le Mans is more than just a race – it’s about never giving up, pushing beyond limits and making the impossible possible,” commented Iron Dames founder, Deborah Mayer. “Partnering with TotalEnergies, a world-leader and true pioneer in endurance racing, is an incredible honour for our project. Its legacy in FIA WEC and at Le Mans speaks for itself.
“Together, we aim to prove that with passion, dedication and the right energy, there are no limits to what we can achieve. ‘Powering Your Dreams’ is the heartbeat of this journey and a shared commitment to progress, innovation and empowering future generations.”
There are some notable names, finally, in the 17-strong LMP2 field. Two-time world champion André Lotterer will team up with multiple W Series title-holder Jamie Chadwick and Mathys Jaubert – winners of the opening two European Le Mans Series rounds of the current campaign – at IDEC Sport, as part of Genesis Magma Racing’s preparations for its 2026 FIA WEC Hypercar debut.
Théo Pourchaire, Clément Novalak and Reshad de Gerus – all of whom participated in last November’s ‘Rookie Test’ in Bahrain – will also join the fray, as reigning LMGT3 champion Aliaksandr Malykhin takes to the track with CLX Pure Rxcing and Imola LMGT3 podium-finisher Esteban Masson competes for VDS Panis Racing.
Former Formula E title-winner António Félix da Costa is in at AF Corse, with Pietro Fittipaldi – grandson of two-time F1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi – part of United Autosports’ LMP2 line-up.
