The big moment arrives on 13 June 2026 at 4 pm local time: that’s when the 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance classic gets underway. The packed starting grid includes two BMW M Hybrid V8 and two BMW M4 GT3 EVO.

In the Hypercar class (LMH/LMDh), BMW M Team WRT heads to Le Mans on the back of a one-two finish at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. In the #20 BMW M Hybrid V8, Robin Frijns, René Rast and Sheldon van der Linde are looking to build on their success, with the #15 car featuring Kevin Magnussen, Raffaele Marciello and Dries Vanthoor hot on their heels. A total of 18 Hypercars will line up on the grid in this competitive field. 

In the LMGT3 class, 25 vehicles are battling for victory. Among them are the BMW M4 GT3 EVO cars fielded by Team WRT with the tried-and-tested driver line-up from the WEC: the #32 with Darren Leung, Sean Gelael and Augusto Farfus, and the #69 with Anthony McIntosh, Parker Thompson and Daniel Harper.
