The 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans in Numbers

Last weekend’s 24 Hours of Le Mans – the 93rd edition of the celebrated twice-round-the-clock La Sarthe contest (14-15 June) – served up its usual heady mix of duels, drama, heartbreak and heroics. Here, we break the race down by numbers…

3
All four manufacturers who have won Le Mans outright since the inception of the FIA World Endurance Championship have done so at least three times in a row – Audi from 2012-2014, Porsche from 2015-2017, Toyota from 2018-2022 and now Ferrari from 2023-2025.

6
Ryan Hardwick is the sixth American driver to win Le Mans at GT level, following in the wheeltracks of compatriots Jeff Segal, Bill Sweedler, Townsend Bell, Patrick Lindsay and Ben Keating.

9
The number of drivers who have won Le Mans in a Ferrari 499P Hypercar; for all of them, it was their maiden outright success at La Sarthe. The last time nine different drivers triumphed in three consecutive editions with a single marque was at Porsche between 1996 and 1998, although not all of them were first-time winners.

12
Ferrari’s 12th overall Le Mans victory leaves the Prancing Horse just one win shy of Audi’s total.

13
The starting position of the winning #83 Hypercar. Lucky for some. Only two crews have ever won the race from further back on the grid. Notably, none of the podium-finishers began inside the top ten, with the second-placed #6 Porsche down in 21st after failing post-qualifying weight checks and the #51 Ferrari 11th. The AF Corse car is also the first to ever win an FIA World Endurance Championship race from lower than tenth.

On his debut at La Sarthe, Nick Yelloly became the 13th British driver to prevail in the LMP2 category at Le Mans since FIA WEC began.

14
Richard Lietz’s 14th FIA WEC triumph marked his sixth class victory at Le Mans. The Austrian has finished three of the race’s four editions since 2022, and on each occasion, he has won.

24
The number of wins Manthey has now achieved in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

37
AF Corse’s Philip Hanson is the 37th British driver to triumph outright at Le Mans, and the first FIA WEC competitor to win the race in both of the current major prototype classes, following his success in LMP2 five years ago. The result represents the 26-year-old’s seventh career victory in the championship – and first since Monza in 2021.

50
Manthey 1st Phorm clinched Porsche’s 50th FIA WEC win in GT competition – only the third marque to reach that milestone. The German manufacturer boasts a 50 per cent strike rate in the 12 LMGT3 races held to-date, and like Manthey, remains undefeated in the category at Le Mans.

57
Porsche’s 57th top-class rostrum in FIA WEC has drawn the German manufacturer level in the record books with fellow multiple world championship-winning marque Audi.

59
The number of the race-winning McLaren F1 GTR 30 years ago, but also – astonishingly – the number of laps completed by Robert Kubica during his final quintuple stint inside the cockpit of the #83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P Hypercar on Sunday. Or – to put it another way – more than 800km. And much of it without rehydration, after the Pole’s drinks bottle broke. That podium champagne will never have tasted so sweet…

166
The total number of laps driven by Kubica in the race – an impressive 43 per cent of the #83 Ferrari’s overall tally…

387
The number of laps completed by the race-winner – a new record in the Hypercar era, beating 2022’s total of 380.

499P
Ferrari’s all-conquering prototype is the first Hypercar to triumph at Le Mans three times, and the second to claim four consecutive FIA WEC victories, after the Toyota GR010 Hybrid. All ten drivers who have raced the car have won in it.

3,514
Tom Dillmann broke Luis Pérez Companc’s  3,283-day record – from Spa 2014 until Spa 2023 – for the longest gap between two FIA WEC race wins. The Mulhouse native last prevailed in Shanghai in 2015 – 3,514 days ago – and yesterday became the first Frenchman to triumph in the LMP2 category at Le Mans since Charles Milesi in 2021. Both of Inter Europol Competition’s victories in the series have been achieved at La Sarthe – in 2023 and 2025 – while the team and driver Jakub Śmiechowski have now recorded three consecutive podiums in the race. The Warsaw native is the first Polish driver to win Le Mans twice.

5,273
The total distance completed by the race-winning #83 Ferrari in kilometres. To put it into perspective, that is approximately 800km further than driving across the United States from New York to Los Angeles.

24h02m53.332s
The 2025 edition of Le Mans was the longest-duration race in FIA WEC to-date.
