The legendary records to be beaten

251,882 km/h: It’s the average speed of the fastest lap ever in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours (highest average speed in practice or in the race all circuits combined). The old record, 251,815 km/h, was set by Hans-Joachim Stuck in a in qualifying for the 1985 race (3m14.80sec on the 13,626-km circuit). It was beaten in 2017 by Kamui Kobayashi in 3m14.791sec in his TS050-Hybrid, also in qualifying, raising the lap record to a speed of 251,882km/h!

Reminder: In terms of time, the fastest lap was set by Jackie Oliver in his LH (long-tailed) in 1971 in preliminary practice on the 13,469-km circuit in 3m 13.6s, a speed of 250,457 km/h.

248,458 km/h: the fastest lap in the race (all circuits combined). This record set in 1971 by Jackie Oliver in his Porsche 917 LH (long tail) at a speed of 244,387 km/h stood for 37 years. In 2008, Stéphane Sarrazin set a new record in his HDi FAP in 3m 19.394s, a speed of 246,068 km/h. It was beaten in 2010 by Loïc Duval in his Peugeot 908 HDI FAP who got round in 3m 19.074s (246,463 km/h), which was quicker than the pole position. In 2015 this record was again beaten by André Lotterer in his e-tron Quattro in 3m 17.475sec, an average speed of 248,458 km/h.

Reminder: 2017: the fastest lap in the race was set by Sebastien Buemi in his Toyota TS050-Hybrid in 3’18’’604 at an average speed of 247,046 km/h.

5 410,713 km: The highest number of kilometers covered in 24 hours. This record was held from 1971 to 2009 by the Helmut Marko-Gijs van Lennep Porsche 917 with a total of 5335,313 km, an average speed of 222,304 km/h. It was beaten in 2010 by the three Audi R15 TDIs which scored a triple. The winning car driven by Timo Bernhard-Romain Dumas- Mike Rockenfeller covered 397 laps, a total of 5410,713 km at an average speed of 225,228 km/h setting a new record. • Reminder: in 2017 the winners covered 5 001.23 km (367 laps, 15.29 laps per hour).

405 km/h:405 km/h: this is the highest speed ever reached on the circuit. it was achieved by by Roger Dorchy in his WM P88 in 1988 on Les Hunaudières during the race at the time when there were no chicanes (installed for the 1990 race). It is unlikely that this record will ever be beaten as the straighhts are no longer long enough!

The legendary records to be beaten (continued)

9 victories (driver): Nine victories is the record number by a driver. It is held by Tom Kristensen from Denmark who announced his retirement at the end of 2014. This means the he will never achieve the legendary figure of 10 wins at Le Mans!

19 victories (manufacturer): 19 victories (manufacturer): It’s the record number of victories by a manufacturer. It’s still and more than ever held by Porsche * after his last run of three consecutive victories (2015, 2016 & 2017)!

*Counting TWR-Porsche and Dauer Porsche.

33 starts (driver): the record for the highest number of starts as a driver is still held by Henri Pescarolo: he has also 10 starts with his own team. In 2010, he acted as a media consultant and in 2011 and 2012 he was back with his Pescarolo squad. Last year he was also present to take part in the 90th anniversary celebrations and was named Ambassador of the 24 Hours by the ACO. He was inducted into the Le Mans Drivers Hall of Fame as well as driving the pace car during the formation lap giving him a total of 47 Le Mans 24-Hours appearances. Since 2014 to 2016 he was present as a consultant for medias increasing his total to 50 years!

67 years continuous participation with a total of total of 799 cars: a record which seems almost unbeatable is that of the highest number of participations by a make held by Porsche* The German company has been present with works cars or private entrants since 1951, and a total of 799 cars – GTs and prototypes – have started the race in 67 years without a break! Behind comes Ferrari with 56 years (with breaks) with a total of 397 cars. Porsche holds another record, that of the highest number of cars in a race with 33 out of 49 starters in 1971.

* Counting TWR-Porsche and Dauer Porsche.

The race has nearly always been held in June (summer solstice) except 1923 (first event), 1956 (work not finished), 1968 (following May 68), and 1986 (packed sporting calendar). In 1936, the race was cancelled because of strikes in the car industry and it was suspended between 1940 and 1948 because of WWII. Also it is worth noting that the 24 Hours often take place in the 24th week of the year: It will be again the case in 2018.

Start times of the Le Mans 24 Hours

In 2007, the start at 15h00 was imposed. Before that since 1923 it was given at 16h00.

• 14h00: in 1969 because of presidential elections and 1998 (TV coverage shared with the tennis final at Roland Garros in the year of the Football World Cup).

• 15h00: in 1968 because the race was held in September. 1979, 1981, 84, 85 and 1996 (elections except 1985 and 1996, European Football Cup).

• 17h00: in 2006 (Football World Cup).

The different circuits used______

CIRCUIT N° 1 Used: 6 years 1923-1928 Length: 17,262 kms Distance record. W. Barnato-B. Rubin Bentley in 1928 155 laps – 2669,272 kms - Av. speed: 111,219 km/h Fastest lap in the race: H. Birkin Bentley in 1928 – 8m 07s: 127,604 km/h For the first Le Mans 24 Hours, the ACO abandoned the circuit used for the first Automobile Club de France Grand Prix in 1906 (the triangular layout Le Mans, Saint-Calais, La Ferté Bernard). Instead, just after WWI, the club designed another circuit, which went into the eastern suburbs of the town as far as the famous Pontlieue hairpin.

CIRCUIT N° 2 Used: 3 years 1929-1931 Length: 16,340 kms Distance record:E. Howe-H. Birkin Alfa Romeo in 1931 185 laps – 3017,654 kms - Av. speed: 125,736 km/h Fastest lap in the race: H. Birkin Bentley in 1930 -6m 48s: 144,362 km/h In 1928 for safety reasons, the ACO decided to shorten the westernmost point of the circuit while keeping the original layout (the Tours road, and back by Mulsanne and Arnage) as well as the permanent facilities. It was up to the club to find the money and do the work, and it was allowed to use the little road from Laigné (baptized rue du Circuit) that linked up to the Tours road.

CIRCUIT N° 3 Used: 23 years: 1932-1955. Length: 13,492 kms Distance record: M. Hawthorn-I Bueb – D-Type Jaguar in 1955 307 laps – 4135,380 kms - Av. speed: 172,308 km/h Fastest lap in the race: M. Hawthorn D-Type Jaguar in 1955 -4m 06.6s: 196,963 km/h The continuing expansion of the Le Mans suburbs forced the club to shorten the western end of the track even further. The ACO purchased a strip of land (approx 1505 meters) going from the present Welcome to the Le Mans Tours main road, on which it built a private section including the famous Tertre Rouge Esses.

11

CIRCUIT N° 4 Used: 12 years 1956-1967 Length: 13,461 kms Distance record: D. Gurney-AJ Foyt – Ford Mk IV in 1967 389 laps – 5232,900 kms - Av. speed: 218,038 km/h Lap records Fastest lap in qualifying: B. McLaren Ford Mk IV in 1967 – 3m 24.4s: 236,082 km/h Fastest lap in the race: M. Andretti/D. Hulme Ford Mk IV in 1967 -3m 23.6s: 238,014 km/h Following the accident in the 1955 race, the club decided to rebuild the pits zone completely. This revamp (track width, pit lane etc) resulted in a modification to the angle of the Dunlop curve and it also reduced the track length by 31 meters. In addition, to prevent the drivers from being distracted when passing the pits, the signaling zone was moved to the exit of the Mulsanne hairpin where the cars were travelling at low speed.

CIRCUIT N° 5 Used: 4 years 1968-1971 Length: 13,469 kms Distance record: H Marko-G; Van Lennep – Porsche 917 (K) in 1971 396 laps – 5335,313 kms - Av. speed: 222,304 km/h Lap records: Fastest lap in preliminary practice: J. Oliver Porsche 917 (LH) in 1971 – 3m 13.6s, 250,457 km/h in 1971 Fastest lap in qualifying: P. Rodriguez Porsche 917 (LH) in 1971 – 3m 13.9s: 250,069 km/h in 1971 Fastest lap in the race: J. Oliver Porsche 917 (LH*) in 1971 -3m 18.4s: 244,387 km/h *Long tail A direct consequence of the speeds reached in the Ferrari-Ford battle was that the ACO decided to maximize safety in the area of the pits, terraces and grandstands by installing the first chicane named after Ford before the pit zone. On the exit from Maison Blanche the trajectory was moved a little to the right.

12

CIRCUIT N° 6 Used: 6 years 1972-1978 Length: 13,640 kms Distance record: D. Pironi-JP Jaussaud – Alpine Renault A442B in 1978 370 laps – 5044,330 kms - Av. speed: 210,188 km/h Lap records: Fastest lap in qualifying: J. Ickx Porsche 936 in 1978 – 3m 27.6s: 236,531 km/h in 1978 Fastest lap in the race: JP. Jabouille Alpine Renault A443 in 1978 -3m 34.2s: 229,244 km/h. A renovation plan backed by all the local communities whose aim was to give the circuit complete autonomy resulted in the revamp of the section from Arnage to the grandstands. The CD 139 was rebuilt over 1300 meters; it bypassed the former Maison Blanche road and the new layout measuring 3000 meters went as far the Ford corner to which a second chicane was added. The next stage in the programme, the constructing of a road parallel to the Mulsanne straight, which was also to turn right before the Mulsanne hairpin, never happened (first petrol crisis)!

CIRCUIT N° 7 Used: 7 years 1979-1985 Length: 13,626 kms Distance record: K.Ludwig-P. Barilla-‘John Winter’ – Porsche 956 in 1985 373 laps – 5088,507 kms - Av. speed: 212,021 km/h Lap records: Fastest lap in qualifying: H. Stuck Porsche 962C in 1985– 3m 14.80s: 251,815 km/h Fastest lap in the race: J. Ickx Porsche 962C in 1985 -3m 25.1s: 239,169 km/h in 1985 The introduction of the new bypass in the south-east of Le Mans linking the Paris-Rennes motorway to the main Le Mans-Angers-Nantes road forced the ACO to modify the design of the Tertre Rouge corner. The old layout was an almost 90° hairpin; the new one was a curve with a 50° radius. A new spectator enclosure was created on the inside of the corner. The old footbridge was replaced by an underground passageway. In November 1978, the Highway Department laid down a new, more grippy surface. Trees were cleared on the interior of the two corners before .

CIRCUIT N° 8 Used: 1 year 1986 Length: 13,528 kms Distance record: D.Bell-H. Stuck-A.Holbert – Porsche 962C in 1986 367 laps – 4972,731 kms - Av. speed: 207,197 km/h Lap records: Fastest lap in qualifying: J. Mass Porsche 962C in 1986– 3m 15.99s: 243,486 km/h Fastest lap in the race: K. Ludwig Porsche 956 in 1986 -3m 23.3s: 239,551 km/h The crossroads formed by the RN 138 and the CD 140 (the famous Mulsanne corner) had been a black spot since the creation of the La Rochère ZAC. The state decided to turn this crossroads into a 4-way roundabout. As this solution effectively eliminated the comer, a new road section 230 metres long was used to move the Mulsanne hairpin inwards towards the golf course modifying the circuit layout. In 1985, the Syndicat Mixte des 24 Heures was set up, and from then on it looked after the upkeep and works carried out on the circuit.

CIRCUIT N° 9 Used: 3 years 1987-1989 Length: 13,535 kms Distance record: J.Lammers-J. Dumfries-A.Wallace – Jaguar XJR9 in 1988 394 laps – 5332,79 kms - Av. speed: 221,665 km/h. Lap records: Fastest lap in qualifying: JL. Schlesser Sauber-Mercedes-Benz in 1989– 3m 15.04s: 249,826 km/h. Fastest lap in the race: A. Ferté Jaguar XJR9 in 1989 -3m 21.27s: 242,093 km/h. At the request of the FIM (International Motorcyclist Federation), a left-right-shaped chicane was installed in the famous Dunlop curve for the French Motorbike Grand Prix. This led to a reduction in speed in this spot of around 100 km/h (160 kpm cornering speed compared to 260 kph previously). This new layout was used for the 1987 Le Mans 24 Hours and all the other events run on the Le Mans circuits. In 1988, the resurfacing of Les Hunaudières and the use of a laser by the Highway Department to obtain a perfectly flat surface increased the cars’ top speed.

CIRCUIT N° 10 Used: 6 years 1990-1996 Length: 13,600 kms Distance record: G.Brabham-E. Hélary-C.Bouchut – Peugeot 905 in 1993 375 laps – 5100 kms - Av. speed: 213,358 km/h. Lap records: Fastest lap in qualifying: P. Alliot Peugeot 905 in 1992 - 3m 21.209s: 243,329 km/h. Fastest lap in the race: E. Irvine Toyota TS 010 in 1993 -3m 27.47s: 235,986 km/h. On the request of the FISA two chicanes (initially named Toyota and Carte S) were installed on Les Hunaudières to reduce the cars’ top speed. Despite the new stresses imposed by heavier braking and gear changes there was little change in the percentage of finishers. In July, the ACO rebuilt its infrastructures completely by demolishing the old pits and constructed new pits/Module Sportif. This revamp put the Le Mans circuits in the lead in this type of modernisation of facilities. The width of the pits straight was increased to 12 m separated from the 15-m wide pit lane by a 3-m wide corridor reserved for the signallers who left Mulsanne after 45 years!

CIRCUIT N° 11 Used: 5 years 1997-2001 Length: 13,605 kms Distance record: F Biela-T. Kristensen-E.Pirro – Audi R8 in 2000 368 laps – 5007,988 kms - Av. speed: 208,886 km/h. Lap records: Fastest lap in qualifying: M. Brundle Toyota GT-One in 1999 - 3m 29.930s: 233,306 km/h. Fastest lap in the race: U. Katayama Toyota GT-One in 1999 -3m 35.032s: 227,771 km/h. The length of the circuit was increased by 5 metres after modifications to the Dunlop chicane to reduce speeds and provide bigger run-off areas. This helped improve the safety for cars and motorbikes using this part of the track common to the 4,305-km Bugatti circuit. During the winter the Mulsanne hump was flattened.

CIRCUIT N° 12 Used: 4 years 2002-2005 Length: 13,650 kms Distance record: S.Ara-T. Kristensen-R.Capello – Audi R8 in 2004 379 laps – 5169,970 kms - Av. speed: 215,415 km/h. Lap records: Fastest lap in qualifying: R. Capello Audi R8 in 2002 - 3m 29.905s: 234,106 km/h. Fastest lap in the race: T. Kristensen Audi R8 in 2002 -3m 33.483s: 230,182 km/h. As for circuit no. 9, the request for the request for change came from the FIM and led to a modification of the Bugatti circuit layout in the La Chapelle corner, the result of which was the twelfth layout. The approach to this corner was part of a common section with the 24- Hours track. The straight after the on the run-down to the Tertre Rouge Esses was transformed into a quick left-right flick, and provided a new viewing area for spectators. The works carried out led to the disappearance of the Chapel; a monument that gave its name to the corner, in which Mass was celebrated for a long time on Sunday during the race. In early 2004, the Bugatti circuit was resurfaced including the common section with the 24-Hours layout, the link corner, run-down to La Chapelle. Winter 2004/2005: the road between the Mulsanne and Arnage corners was resurfaced and the section at post 89 was levelled.

CIRCUIT N° 13 Used: 1 year 2006 Length: 13,650 kms Distance record: F.Biela-E. Pirro-M.Werner – Audi R10 TDI 380 laps – 5187,00 kms - Av. speed: 215,409 km/h. Lap records: Test day fastest lap: F. Montagny Pescarolo C60 – 3m 30.195s – 233,783 km/h. Fastest lap in qualifying: R. Capello Audi R10 TDI - 3m 30.466s: 233,482 km/h. Fastest lap in the race: T. Kristensen Audi R10 TDI -3m 31.211s: 232,658 km/h. During the 2005-2006 winter the first phase of a huge works programme began due to the need to modernize the circuit Village and improve safety on the approach to the Dunlop chicane. Yet again the initiative came from the International Motor Cycle Federation as the grand prix bikes were reaching a speed of over 300 kph at the end of the pits straight (record 323 kph). This led to a complete revamp of the layout. The radius of the Dunlop curve was tightened to increase run-off areas, and the cornering speeds in the chicane were reduced by creating a much more pronounced angle. The moving of 60 000 m2 of earth and the 8000 tons of coating plus 15 000 tons of stones required did not modify the length, which remained at 13,650 km (same for the Bugatti, 4,180 km).

16

CIRCUIT N° 14 Used: 2007 to 2017 Length: 13,629 kms Distance record (2010): T.Bernhard-R. Dumas-M. Rockenfeller – Audi R15 TDI 397 laps – 5405,472 kms - Av. speed: 225,228 km/h. Lap records: Test day: K. Kobayashi, Toyota TS050-Hybrid in 3m 18.132s, 247,634 km/h in 2017. Fastest lap in qualifying: K. Kobayashi, Toyota TS050-Hybrid in 3m 14.791s, 251,882 km/h in 2017 Fastest lap in the race: A Lotterer, Audi R18 e-tron quattro in 2015 - 3m 17.475s: 248,458 km/h.

During the 2006/2007 winter another phase of the major works programme began. First of all, the Tertre Rouge corner was modified, which shortened the layout by 21,60 metres. The corner now had a more open angle and 3 degree banking, and the run-off area on the outside was doubled. To make the place more attractive for spectators, the ACO put in a bank on the inside of the corner with access through a tunnel dug under the track. Nine new permanent pits were built in the extension of the pit lane (46 pits) to increase the number of starters to 55. The paddock was enlarged again from 6500 to 11000 m2.

In the 2008/2009 winter break, a transparent reinforced shield was installed the full length of the pit wall to protect the people in the signalling zone and the pits from flying debris. In the 2009/2010 winter, the road was resurfaced over 1800 metres between the Porsche and Corvette corners, and the Beauséjour spectator enclosure near the Porsche corner was enlarged. A new medical centre for spectators was installed behind the paddock. To improve the welcome for partners a new club house was constructed on the golf course at the Mulsanne corner. For 2011, new removable kerbs were installed in various places (Dunlop chicane, Tertre Rouge, Corvette and Link corners). Safety was also improved with FIA fencing (at post 44 – Family Village roundabout, and at the advertising hoardings at Mulsanne, Indianapolis and Arnage), and the Mulsanne hairpin escape road. Winter 2011-2012: A 550 m2 gravel trap was put in on the outside of Arnage without modifying the layout. Winter of 2012-2013: Erection of the Michelin Race Classification Tower at the exit of the pit lane. Verges repaired and 1.2 km additional protection put in for the houses.

In 2014: quite a lot of work has been carried out, in particular on the pits straight (resurfaced) La Chapelle corner (resurfacing of the link section between the Bugatti circuit and the Le Mans 24 Hours one), in the Forest Esses (new kerbing and stabilisation of the verges), in Tertre Rouge (improvement of the safety measures on the exit from the corner, modification of the positioning of the guardrail and the addition of tyre barriers). On Les Hunaudières (the final phase of protecting the houses, their inhabitants and the exit from the two chicanes made safer with extra tyre barriers) has been completed, in the Porsche corners (enhanced safety in the first one with tyre barriers), in the Corvette corner (installation of a new run-off area-gravel trap) and the Ford chicane (stabilisation of the verges). The lighting in various places on the circuit (1st chicane, between the Porsche corners and in the Ford corner) has been improved.

2015 : creation of wider run-off zones between Mulsanne and the first Porsche corner plus the installation of additional rumble strips in certain places on this section. Enlargement of the gravel trap in the Porsche corner.From the Porsche corner to the Kart esses stabilisation of the shoulders with high-grip coating.Installation of the new SAFER barriers. Continuation of the installation of LED signals. On the common section of the Bugatti and LM 24-Hours circuit the track has been resurfaced at the Dunlop chicane. The track has also been water-blasted to improve grip, and the single fencing replaced by FIA rigid protection panels.

17

2016: ACO works: Extension of the pit lane with the construction of four new pits which will be used for the 2016 race. The Arnage Welcome zone will be revamped and a new spectator enclosure installed at Indianapolis. Fibre Optic will be available in all the pits, and the marketing zones in the village will be extended (former museum). The security of the electrical supply to the circuit will be assured and a veranda installed in the Golf Course Club House.

Works SMC24H: Security of certain run-off areas on the Le Mans 24-Hours circuit (in addition to the tyre walls) – T6 La Chapelle, T8 Tertre Rouge, T20 & T21 Indianapolis and T29 Karting CIK. Installation of a roundabout at Arnage, security of the run-off area in the first Porsche corner using the SAFER Barrier system (track interior). Installation of a gravel trap on the exit from the Porsche corners (on the left of the track).

2017: the Bugatti circuit was completely resurfaced in October 2016 (thus having an impact on the common section shared with the 24-Hours track): this included shaving off 4cm of tarmac, the level being checked by topographers and the laying of a coating (asphalt concrete). This surface called Cariphalte made by Shell and Eurovia is a very technical one. It has a cohesion of granulates that optimises the grip for motorbikes and cars. Works were carried in corners 27 and 29 (exit from the Porsche curves and the Corvette corner) in agreement with the FIA to modify the alignment of the protective wall to improve track safety.

CIRCUIT N° 15 Used: 2018 Length: 13,626 kms Distance record : Lap records: Test day: Fastest lap in qualifying: Fastest lap in the race:

As is the case before each staging of the Le Mans 24 Hours big improvements have been made to the circuit by revamping certain portions and enhancing safety. For the 86th Le Mans 24 Hours the main works have been concentrated in the Porsche corners to make them safer.

Improvements to the circuit: length – 13,626 km

September-December 2017: improving safety in the Porsche corners, in particular in the final curve before the Karting corner.

• Phase 1: deforestation, clearing and dismantling of the guardrail and the fences to create a run-off area. • Phase 2: installation of 370 metres of fencing homologated to FIA standards, 360 metres of guardrail and then coating (590 tons). These works have made it possible to redefine the position of the rumble strips and have modified the overall length of the Le Mans 24-Hours circuit very slightly. It now measures 13.626 metres (3 metres shorter than before). • Phase 3: in the spring a high-grip coating will be applied, the TecPro barriers moved, and the finishing touches made (signing, safety road).

January-March 2018: first phase of the sanitation of the circuit to improve the management of rainwater inside the circuit itself. These works have no effect on the track or the layout.

In 1931, he was followed by Mr. Georges Durand (ACO general secretary), and in 1932 Mr. Gaston Gourdeau (Sarthe MP and Tourist Under-Secretary) did the honours. In 1933, it was the turn of Colonel Lindsay Lloyd (Vice President of the British Royal Automobile Club) and in 1934, Viscomte de Rohan Chabot (President of the French Automobile Club and the National Federation of Clubs) gave the start. In 1937, famous English record breaker and driver John Cobb dropped the flag, and Mr Anatole de Monzie (Minister of Public Works) released the pack in the last pre-war race (1939).

*Bill France Junior starter in 1976 and Jim France who gave the start in 2013 are brothers: the first time in the history of the event that this has happened.

21

Start of the Formation lap. In 2013 to mark the 90th anniversary of the creation of the event, a spectator drawn by lot gave the start to the formation lap and the lucky man was Philippe Peu, a Le Mans regular since 1972! In 2015 Guillaume Roi, an ACO Member, had this honour after winning an on-line game. In 2016 because of the start behind the safety car Jacky Courtois, an ACO member since 1972, who was celebrating his 50th Le Mans 24 Hours was the first to give the start to the cars lined up in herring-bone formation, and the American actor Brad Pitt waved the French flag to unleash the field in pouring rain.

The « Grand Marshall »______Since 2013, on the 90th anniversary of the creation of the event, the ACO has given a famous name in the 24 Hours the honour of driving the pace car during the formation start procedure.

The Grand Marshals were: 2013: Henri PESCAROLO 2014: Allan McNISH 2015: Tom KRISTENSEN 2016 : Alexander WURZ 2017 : Mark Webber

It goes without saying that the Grand Marshal must be a retired Le Mans 24-Hours driver. But in 2016 Alexander Wurz was a reserve for Toyota as he was officially entered as 4th driver on the nos 5 and 6 – for the test day only – on which he did a few laps in no. 6.

The different types of start______

Rows * : 1923 - 1924 Le Mans-type start **: 1925 - 1969 Herringbone start (driver on board): 1970 Flying start: Since 1971

*: Cars lined up in two rows with uneven numbers on the right and even ones on the left in the order of decreasing cubic capacity. **:Cars lined up in decreasing cubic capacity order on one side of the track, drivers lined up on the other. This system was used from 1925-1962. In 1963, the cars lined up according to the times set in practice.

Note: the return in 2010 and 2011 - as symbolic - departure "Le Mans type" drivers with seven minutes to cross the track while running, get on board and fasten their harness before setting off all the same time on the formation lap.

In 2016 because of the execrable weather conditions the start took place behind the safety car for the first time in the history of the race. It stayed out for seven laps (52 minutes) before the field was unleashed.

22

Number of starters ______

Number of starters: Maximum: 60 starters in 1950, 51, 53, 55, and since 2016 Since 2016, the maximum number of starters has been increased to 60. Minimum: 17 starters in 1930. A total of 4 177 cars have started the race since 1923.

* Since 2012 the 56th pit has been reserved for a car with innovative technology (see page 144).

23

The grid

The grid formation is in rows of two by two with pole position on the right. Pole position has been awarded since 1963 to the car one of whose drivers has set the fastest lap. There are, however, two exceptions due to modifications to the regulations. In 1980, the pole position was awarded to the driver line-up having set the fastest aggregate time (average of the time of the two drivers). Thus John Fitzpatrick, who was quickest in qualifying, set off behind Henri Pescarolo-Jean Ragnotti in their Rondeau. In 1991, the first ten rows were reserved for the 3.5-litre prototypes complying with the new WSC regulations. Pole setter Jean-Louis Schlesser in his Sauber-Mercedes-Benz started from the sixth row behind ten WSC cars, the quickest of which was the -Jean-Pierre Jabouille-Mauro Baldi Peugeot 905. In 1996 and 1997, the grid had an unusual line-up with the prototypes on the left and the GTs on the right. Since 2017 there is a new starting procedure. After the cars lined up herringbone style they set off directly on the formation lap behind the safety car. During this lap they take up their positions according to the times set in qualifying after which the flying start is given. Thus, there is no traditional stationary grid in front of the grandstands.

Position at the start ______

What is the position of the winner at the start? It has been decided by the time set in qualifying practice since 1963* and as can be seen from the table below it isn’t necessary to be on pole to win. Even starting from last place is no real handicap in the quest for victory!

Position at the Years % start 1st 1974 1975 1981 1982 1997 2003 2011 2012 2013 2016 18.18% 2nd 1963 1972 1976 1986 1987 1992 2000 2001 2002 2006 18.18% 3rd 1979 2015 3.63% 4th 1966 1968 1973 1984 1985 2004 2007 2008 2017 16.36% 5th 1971 1978 1998 2009 2010 9.09% 6th 1988 1993 1996 1999 2014 9.09% 7th 1964 1977 1983 1994 7.27% 8th 2005 1.81% 9th 1967 1990 1995 5.45% 10th 1980 1.81% 11th 1965 1989 3.63% 12th 1991 1.81% 14th 1969** 1.81% 16th 1970 1.81%

Conclusion: Out of the last 55 starts cars starting from first and second places share the number of victories equally. Thus, a driver starting from the front row has a chance of winning of 36,36% and 56,35% if he starts on one of the first two rows except third place which, surprisingly enough, is extremely unfavourable when it comes to finishing first. After 16thplace chances are non-existent as is starting from 13th or 15th positions.

*Except in 1980, 1991, 1996 and 1997 due to special regulations –see chapter starting grid above).

** Although the Ickx-Oliver Ford GT40 qualified 14th it started last. The Belgian driver decided to walk across the track to his car to protest the Le Mans-type start.

24

Pole sitters’ results______

While most drivers dream of setting pole in qualifying (brought in in 1963) it does not necessarily end in victory - or even a finish!

Finishing positions from pole

➢ 1st in 1974, 1975, 1981, 1982, 1997, 2003, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2016 (18.18%)

➢ 2nd in1972, 1973, 1983, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007 et 2009 (20%)

➢ 3rd in 1964, 1985, 1992, 1993 et 2006 (9,09%)

➢ 4th in 1967 (1,81%)

➢ 5th in 1980, 1989, 2008 and 2015(7,27%)

➢ 8th in 1984 (1,85%)

Retirements: 1963, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2010, 2014 and in 2017 – 41.81%!

Conclusion: starting from pole the result is statistically either the top 5 (56,35%) or retirement (41.21%). Strangely enough, except for 8th place in 1984, no car starting from pole has ever finished outside the top 5.

Finishers and percentages______

Finishers: highest: 48 in 2017. Lowest: 6 in 1931. Total: 1 807 cars have been classified finishers since 1923

Highest % of finishers in a race: 90.9% in 1923 (30 out of 33). Lowest: 13.7% in 1970 (7 out of 51). The average of the finishers in 85 races is 43,26%. In 2017 it was 80% (48 on 60)

In 2017 with only 11 retirements (and one disqualification) the number of finishers was the best since the exceptional 90,9% of the first race in 1923. Overall, the last five races have seen the highest percentages of classified cars (1923 excepted): 80% (2017) 73,33% (2016) 73,21% (2013) 70,37% (2014) and 67,27% (2015), which shows the excellent level of preparation and reliability achieved by the entrants in recent years.

Preliminary practice and test days______

Preliminary practice was held for the first time in 1959 and continued until 1974. It generally took place in March, April, May or June and was also called preparatory or pre-qualifying practice. Since 2005, it has been called the test day. It has been organized over one, two or three days and was also accompanied by a race (2 or 4 hours, or in sprint format).

In 2009 and 2010, because of the economic situation and to reduce costs for the entrants, the test day was cancelled and replaced by an obligatory free practice session on the Wednesday before the race. Since 2011 to meet the requests of seceral entrans and manufacturers entering new cars, the test day has been reinstated. That year it was In April but since 2012 the date has been fixed two weeks before the race. In 2018 it will be on Sunday 3rd June.

*Outright record in qualifying and fastest lap in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours (highest average speed)

Pole position and victory :

Eight drivers have set pole and won the race the same year: drivers, Henri Pescarolo in 1974, Jacky Ickx in 1975, 1981 and 1982, Michele Alboreto in 1997 and Tom Kristensen in 2003, Benoît Tréluyer (2011), André Lotterer (2012), Loïc Duval (2013 )and Neel Jani (2016) have set pole and won the race the same year. So far, no driver has scored the triple: pole, victory and fastest lap! However, two driver line-ups have achieved this feat: Alboreto-Kristensen-Johansson in 1997 and Fässler-Lotterer-Tréluyer in 2011.

Prizes awarded during or after the race

Jean Rondeau Prize

This prize was created in 1986 a few months after the death of the eponymous constructor from Le Mans, winner of the race in 1980. First of all it was awarded to the pole position setter (Jochen Mass in 1986 and Bob Wollek in 1987) and then to the highest-placed French driver in the race (Jean-Pierre Jarier in 1988 and Bob Wollek in 1989). In 1990, it was awarded to the youngest French driver who achieved the best result in the overall classification (Lionel Robert). It now rewards the talent, courage and determination of a young up-and-coming French racing driver. Here follows the list of winners:

1995 William DAVID 2007 Nicolas LAPIERRE 1996 Jérôme POLICAND 2008 Loïc DUVAL 1997 Emmanuel COLLARD 2009 1998 Frank MONTAGNY 2010 1999 2011 Fabien ROSIER 2000 Sébastien BOURDAIS 2012 Nelson PANCIATICI 2001 Jonathan COCHET 2013 Jean-Karl VERNAY 2002 Benoît TRELUYER 2014 Paul Loup CHATIN 2003 Tristan GOMMENDY 2015 Kevin ESTRE 2004 Bastien BRIERE 2016 Timothé BURET 2005 2017 Thomas Laurent 2006 Yann CLAIRAY

Michelin Total Performance Award ______

Since 1926, shortly after the creation of the event, the ACO has always made a point of rewarding the entrants who have been able to combine performance and energy efficiency. Various classifications have followed one another: Index of Performance, Thermal Efficiency Index, energy efficiency, fuel consumption, minimum fuel consumption and the Eco Energy Index. In 2007, in partnership with the ACO, Michelin created the Michelin Energy Endurance Challenge which, in 2009, became the Michelin Green X Challenge. This classification enhanced the prestige of the cars that used the least fuel while optimising their performance thus rewarding the best energetic efficiency. In 2007 the prize was awarded to one car per category, then to one car all categories combined in 2008 and 2009, and from 2010 to 2013 to one car in the prototype and one in the GT categories. The classification was established using a calculation, based on the Thermal Efficiency Index, the ratio between the average speed of the car (pits stops excepted) divided by the average fuel consumption throughout the race. In 2014 it was replaced by the Michelin Total Performance Award. In agreement with the ACO, which integrated this prize and its attribution criteria into the official 2014 Le Mans 24-Hours regulations, a 1-million euro prize financed by Michelin would be awarded to the first entrant fulfilling five conditions combining performance, duration and energy efficiency in the race (see the details below). In this case it is foreseen that the prize will be used to finance research projects dealing with sustainable mobility in an independent academic institution. For Michelin this prize continues an already-existing action as Pascal Couasnon, the Michelin Motorsport manager explains: “In competition Michelin is a technical partner which contributes to adding purpose to the branch of the sport. On the basis of this principle and in agreement with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, we introduced the Green X Challenge in 2009 in the endurance regulations. It measured and rewarded in an objective fashion the entrants’ energetic efficiency. This year the Michelin Total Performance Award is the next step in the Group’s involvement in a competition that’s responsible from both a social and environmental point of view. Olivier Valle, the Michelin Motor Sport Marketing manager underlined the point: “We want to reward a victory that’s unique in the world, one which represents a feat in terms of performance, duration and energetic efficiency.”

• Condition no. 1: victory Only the winner of the overall general classification is eligible for the prize. • Condition no.2: performance over a lap The winning car must set the fastest lap in the race. • Condition no. 3: distance The winning crew must cover a greater distance than the distance record for the event. Set in 2010, the figure in question is 5,410 km covered in 24 hours. • Condition no. 4: energy consumption The winner’s energy consumption must be at least 15% lower than the average of the energy consumption of all the LM P1s classified in the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours.* • Condition no. 5: low tyre use The number of sets of tyres used by the winner during the race must be 9 sets or fewer.

In 2014 the winning Audi (no.2) met the first condition, the second (fastest lap in the race by André Lotterer) and the fourth (lower energy consumption), but it didn’t beat the distance record (5,165 km against 5,410) and it used 11 sets of tyres instead of the nine allowed for the awarding of the prize.

This award was not won in 2014 & 2015, and was not awarded in 2016.

56th pit and technological innovations

To encourage the arrival of new technologies the ACO created the CDNT (Car Displaying New Technologies) category in 2012. Each year its aim is to accept a car designed around an innovative project whose relevance is evaluated by the Selection Committee: this vehicle will then be allocated the 56th pit and carry the number 0. The prototype allowed in this context does not need to comply with the current technical regulations, but it must provide guarantees of safety, performance and reliability. It must also respect the sporting regulations although some tweaks can be allowed according to particular characteristics of the vehicle (for example: refuelling). In compliance with the sporting regs the 56th car must qualify during practice; it will occupy the place on the grid according to its time, but it will run in the race outside the overall classification. In the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours prior to 2012 one car ran outside the overall classification. It was in 1963 and the vehicle in question was the Rover-BRM with the number 00 driven by Graham Hill and Richie Ginther. It was entered in a category created by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest reserved for cars powered by a turbine engine. The sum of 25 000 francs was awarded to recompense any vehicle able to cover at least 3600 km in 24 hours, which the Rover-BRM did without problems, and it finished in the equivalent of seventh place behind six ! Last year the Nissan DeltaWing was the first car to race in the CDNT category. Unfortunately it did not see the chequered flag. In 2013, the GreenGT H2 project, the first racing prototype with electric/hydrogen power, was selected. Unfortunately, the team withdraew a few days before the test day.' In 2014 Nissan entered the ZEOD RC (Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car), which had been presented at the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours. Its lines were similar to those of the Nissan DeltaWing in 2012 (same designer (Ben Bowlby), but with closed bodywork. Electricity supplied part of the power used by the engine. The ZEOD RC’s race came to a premature halt after only five laps due to a mechanical problem. In 2015, not having receivedthe filescorresponding to the objectivesandprinciples established bythe ACO,the Selection Committeedid not retainanyproject, butfor 2016nominationsare open! This year the 56th garage will be occupied by Frédéric Sausset who is taking up the challenge of becoming the first quadri- amputee driver to take part in the Le Mans 24 Hours. His car will exceptionally No. 84! He was even ranked 38th. The announcement was made in June 2015 that the WR bio-methane project had been selected for the 56th garage in 2017. Unfortunately, Gérard Welter’s team said in December 2016 that the project had to be suspended.

The HPD (, Honda’s sports brand in the USA) made a victorious debut in LM P2 and broke the 5000-km barrier, a first for an LM P2! Ford came back to Le Mans with GTs, a descendant of the GT40, on the final year of the LM GT1 category at Le Mans. Corvette switched to the GT2 category where it joined Jaguar and BMW back with an Art Car decorated by American Jeff Koons. Ferrari and Corvette went at it hammer and tongs for most of the race, but victory fell to Porsche celebrating the Stuttgart make’s 60th consecutive participation in the Le Mans 24 Hours. Former F1 world champion, Nigen Mansell, drove a car with his two sons – but lasted only 4 laps (accident). Four women drivers started, the most since 1978 with one 100% feminine driver line-up - not seen since 1991. Marco, Mario’s grandson, became the third generation of the Andretti family to race in the Sarthe. New schedule for scrutineering (Sunday afternoon and all of Monday) and new location (Place des Jacobins and not the ‘Quinconce’) after the demolition of the theatre. No test day so a free practice session was held on Wednesday from 16h00-20h00 with qualifying in the second part of the evening and Thursday. A 56th pit was built and a 56th car was allowed in at the last minute. However, the elimination of a Ferrari meant that 55 cars lined up on the grid. The famous Le Mans type start was symbolically re-enacted. Innovations: election of the first Miss Le Mans, and an autograph session by the drivers on the pit lane!

Practice gave a foretaste of what was to come with 3’25’’289 3’25’’738 the six works cars covered by half-a-second! The race got off to a hectic start. At 239,001 km/h 238,480 km/h 15h51 one of the Audis was the victim of a spectacular accident and at 22h50 another of the R18s had a huge shunt, fortunately without injuries to the drivers in either case. These together with other race incidents led to a total of 4h 53m neutralisation behind the safety cars. At 23h00 only one Audi was still running with four Peugeots in hot pursuit. In a hotly-contested race (39 leadership changes, pole position time beaten and the two cars on the same lap throughout the 24 hours), the surviving R18 never faltered and took the flag in front of the Peugeot horde with thirteen seconds in hand over the leading French car. This victory, Audi’s tenth, puts the German manufacturer in second place in terms of outright victories. A French driver, Benoît Tréluyer, was part of the victorious trio. The winning Audi set pole and the fastest lap in the race. In LM P2 victory went to a Nissan-powered Zytek. In GT, a new category was created GTE (on the basis of the former GT2 rules) split into two groups, professional and amateur. Lotus was back in the Pro category and there was a great battle at the end as the winning Corvette finished 2m 29s in front of the second-placed Ferrari F458 Italia. In GTE Am victory also went to Corvette. Other notable facts: the integration of the Le Mans 24 Hours into a championship, the ILMC, for the first time since 1992, Ferrari’s 50th outing in the Sarthe, the return of the test day at the end of April, the continuation of the free practice session on Wednesday between 16h00 and 20h00, 56 cars at the start (a first since 1955), the first outing of a car with hybrid power, of an Argentinean team and a married couple Mr and Mrs Robinson who finished 26th at the wheel of their Ford GT.

The German manufacturer set the fastest times at the test day and in 240,289 km/h 3’23’’787 qualifying with its hybrids, a couple of firsts. In the race itself, Toyota put up a 240,763 km/h brave fight and the Japanese car took the lead briefly after a 5-hour battle. Unfortunately, one TS030 was eliminated almost immediately afterwards in a spectacular accident while the other fell down the time sheets after a collision. It went out during the night (engine failure). These incidents opened the way to victory for Audi and the Ingolstadt manufacturer duly scored its eleventh win in the Sarthe plus its fifth triple despite a few off-course excursions. Audi, though, became part of motor racing legend by being the first manufacturer to win the Le Mans 24 Hours with a hybrid-powered car. Victory went to the same driver line-up as in 2011 so a Frenchman again appeared on the top-most step of the podium. In the other categories an American-entered HPD won in LM P2, while in LM GTE Pro victory went to an Italian team for the first time since 1981 with a Ferrari, and in LM GTE Am Larbre Competition and Corvette scored their hat trick. It is also worth noting that the event was part of the newly-created FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the participation of a car with technical innovations (no. 0) running outside the overall classification. Scrutineering took place on the Place de la République for the first time in the centre of Le Mans and the test day was again organized two weeks before the race.

One crash just after the start proved fatal when Allan Simonsen went off in his Aston Martin. Up front battle raged between the three Audis and the two Toyotas and after six hours racing they were still on the same lap! Two Audis were then delayed (alternator for one and a puncture for the other), while the Japanese cars were spared mishaps and were hot on the wheels of the only R18 e-tron quattro not to hit problems. There was never more than a lap between the leading Audi and the second-placed Toyota, and this kept the crowd on tenterhooks as the outcome remained uncertain till the very end. Finally, Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Loïc Duval (another French driver to add his name to the Le Mans laurels) took the chequered flag with a lap in hand over their Japanese rival. It was the Dane’s 9th victory! In LM P2, OAK Racing scored an excellent double with its Morgan-. In LM GTE Pro the presence of works cars from Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette, Aston Martin and Chrysler – via the STD-prepared Vipers made for a very open race and finally victory went to the Stuttgart make thanks to Team Manthey, which scored a double with the brand-new 911 RSR, while in LM GTE Am Raymond Narac’s win in the 911 GT3 RSR of IMSA Performance Matmut completed Porsche’s triumph, a worthy celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 911! Back came Alpine with a Nissan-engined LM P2 (14th), and the Art Car, an OAK Racing Morgan-Nissan LM P2 dressed by French sculptor Fernando Costa, added an additional touch of colour to the race. Actor Patrick Depmsey was back in the Sarthe and he finished 29th overall and fourth in his category. There were two women drivers at the start: Keiko Ihara and Natacha Gachnang and only the Swiss saw the flag (11th). There were relatively few retirements (13), and one exclusion a few days after the race when the 9th-placed Oreca Nissan was found to have an oversized fuel tank.

It was the first 100 per cent Japanese pole in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours. The Audi camp suffered a big blow when it lost Loïc Duval, victim of a spectacular crash in free practice. Although the car was repaired the previous year’s winner had to withdraw and he was replaced by 2009 victor, Marc Gené. The early stages of the race proved disastrous for the Ingolstadt manufacturer as it lost the no. 3 car, which was hit by the no. 81 Ferrari, in the violent shower that soaked the circuit one-and-a-half hours after the start. The no. 8 Toyota also hit the guardrail, but was able to rejoin although at the bottom of the time sheets. The no. 7 TS040 led the race for over 12 hours until just after 05h00 on Sunday morning when it retired due to grilled electronics. The no. 2 Audi took up the running until it suffered a turbo problem around 07h00 handing the lead to its sister car, no.1. The same problem hit the latter just after 11h00. Thus, with four hours to go to the finish into the lead went the no. 20 Porsche 919 and it looked like the Stuttgart make was about to pull off a shock victory. Then at 13h00, no.20 limped back to its pit and the two Audis retook the lead which they held to the chequered flag. Victory went to the no. 2 R18 e-tron quattro driven by Fässler/Tréluyer/Lotterer (their third) and Audi racked up its 13th win in the Sarthe in front of 263 000 spectators (a record for the last 20 years). Ligier made its Sarthe comeback in LM P2 in which Zytek emerged victorious after 29 leadership changes. In the hotly-disputed GTE Pro category Ferrari triumphed after 30 leadership changes. Aston Martin won the LM GTE category for the first time. Aged 16 years, 6 months and 9 days, Matt McMurray was the youngest-ever driver at the start and also the youngest-ever classified finisher. The only woman driver on the grid, Keiko Ihara from Japan, saw the flag in 14th place. Actor Patrick Dempsey, back for the third time, was 24th. 2014 was World Football Cup year and Fabien Barthez, 1998 French world champion, was at the start: he finished 29th.

Thus 55 cars started the 2016 Le Mans 24 Hours in the presence of the President of the French Republic, François Hollande (a first since 1972). The race was the theatre of a thrilling high-speed battle between Audi and Porsche (André Lotterer set the fastest race lap ever in the history of the 24 Hours), but Audi fell victim to technical problems (hybrid systems, engine cover glitches) and driving errors (off-course excursions, drive-throughs). In the early morning the no. 19 Porsche installed itself in first place where it stayed till the finish giving the Stuttgart manufacturer its 17th victory at Le Mans with no. 17 in second place ensuring a double! There were two rookies in the winning driver line-up including current F1 ace, Nico Hulkenberg. In LM P2, the brand-new Oreca 05 clinched pole and victory for KCMG (first Chinese team to win at Le Mans). In LM GTE Pro Corvette more than made up for the bad luck that hit them in practice by winning the category after a no-holds-barred scrap. In LM GTE Am victory went to a Russian-entered (another first at Le Mans). LM P1 saw the first participation of an Austrian constructor, CLM (the car finished but was then excluded because the drivers’ weight didn’t comply with the regs), and of a Russian constructor (BR Engineering) whose two cars saw the chequered flag. Mathias Lauda, son of Niki 3-time F1 world champion, made his Sarthe debut and was in the lead in LM GTE Am until 40mn from the finish. Patrick Dempsey was back for the fourth time and he saw the flag in 22nd place overall, but above all second in LM GTE Am, his first podium finish at Le Mans!

Although Lucas di Grassi set the fastest time on the test day in his Audi pole position went to Neel Jani for the second year running in qualifying that was disrupted by heavy rain. It was the same story on race day and for the first time in its history the start of the Le Mans 24-Hours race was given under safety car conditions, which lasted seven laps (52 minutes). Once the cars were unleashed the race turned into one of the most hotly contested for years as battle raged between the nos 5 and 6 Toyotas and the no. 2 Porsche, while the other Porsche and both Audis ran into reliability problems and suffered a lack of performance. Up till the 21st hour the two Japanese cars and the German 919 were on the same lap! The no. 5 TS050 was in the lead just before beginning the last lap, and it looked like Toyota was finally about to break its Le Mans jinx and score a historic victory in the 24 Hours on its 18th attempt. And then came the ultimate mind-boggling twist as no. 5 ground to a halt due to a sudden loss of power just after crossing the start/finish line to start its last lap! The no. 2 Porsche shot past the stricken Toyota and went on to rack up an amazing 18th win for the Stuttgart make in the Sarthe. French driver Romain Dumas scored his second success in the 24 Hours as he shared the winning car with Jani and Marc Lieb. In LM P2 and LM GTE Pro two historic names, Alpine and Ford, were back in the winner’s circle, and Sébastien Bourdais was a member of the victorious trio in the American car. Ferrari came out on top in the LM GTE category.

The construction of four new pits has increased the number of potential starters to 60 cars. There were two women drivers on the grid and Christina Nielsen from Denmark finished in 35th place while Inès Tattinger from France was forced to retire. Fabien Barthez, a member of the French football team that won the 1998 Football World Cup, was back for his second outing in the Sarthe, this time in the LM P2 prototype category; he finished 12th. Sir Chris Hoy, British cyclist who won six gold medals in the Olympic Games was also on the grid and came home 17th. There were three sons of F1 world champions at the start: Nicolas Prost and Nelson Piquet Jr in the same car (Rebellion) who saw the flag in 29th place and Mathias Lauda (Aston Martin) who was an unclassified finisher. The late ’s nephew, Bruno, was 15th. Eleven cars failed to see the chequered flag so the 2016 race had the smallest number of retirements

For the first time two Japanese drivers filled the first two places on the grid. Another first in the history of the race was that all 60 qualified cars lapped under the 4-minute mark! When the flag fell two Toyotas hit the front from the first row in scorching heat. The first twist happened at 18:30 when the no. 2 works Porsche was pushed into its garage from which it emerged at 19:35 in 56th position. This incident left three Toyotas and one Porsche battling for the lead until the night proved fatal to the Japanese cars’ hopes. No. 8 was the first to run into problems and it tumbled down the time sheets and then the team lost nos 7 and 9 in a 30- minute period. Thus, at half-distance the no. 1 Porsche LM P1 was in first place pursued by a horde of 15 LM P2s, while no. 2 continued its long climb up the time sheets.

At 13:53 it went into first place where it stayed till the chequered flag giving the Stuttgart make its 19th outright victory in the Sarthe thanks to German Timo Bernhart and two New Zealanders, Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber. Completing the podium were two LM P2 prototypes built by French constructor, Oreca, which won this category and gave young French coming-man Thomas Laurent the opportunity to shine (2nd place overall) on his first outing in the Le Mans 24 Hours. In LMGTE Pro battle raged right up till the last lap between the five manufacturers entered, Corvette, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Ford and Porsche. The six cars in the first six places were covered by only a lap after 24 hours and victory went to the English manufacturer. In LMGTE Am, the Ferrari 488 GTEs scored a triple. Other noteworthy features of the 85th Le Mans 24 Hours included new LM P2 regulations allowing only four constructors in the category: Dallara, Ligier, Oreca and Riley, and a single engine, the 4.2-litre Gibson V8. There was also an Art Car, the no. 50 Corvette decorated by Ramzi Adek, which finished last.

The racesin the race

Since the first Le Mans 24 Hours in 1923 the Automobile Club de l’Ouest has created different groups, classes and categories for entrants with specific classifications for each one, thus creating as many races within the race itself. The following tables give the lists of manufacturers/constructors and drivers who have won the above-mentioned groups, classes ,etc. First of all a brief reminder of the origin of all these classifications. In 1923, there wasn’t a real overall general distance classification, as the results of the race only served to qualify the entrants for the following year’s event. The only prize foreseen was the awarding of a Trinnial Cup for the 1923-24-25 races: in fact it was awarded only once before becomming a Biennial Cup (from 1924-25 to 1955-56. To be qualified and classified for these cups the entrants, according to the cubic capacity of their cars, had to cover a minimum distance, hence the creation of cubic capacity classes, which existed in different forms until 1982. The first Trennial and Biennial Cups were also called equi-performance classifications, which was changed in 1926 to Index of Performance. In 1930, another cup was created, the much sought-after Ladies Cup, to reward the best womens’ team. It has been awarded nine times in the history of the race: the last was in 1977. In 1959, another coveted prize was awarded for the first time, the Thermal Efficiency Index linked to performance and fuel consumption, the distant ancestor of the Michelin Total Performance Award!Also in 1959, in addition to the overall general distance classification the Group, Sport and GT classificatiosn were added. In 1962, sports cars were no longer admitted and the ACO established the Experimental Group, which became the Prototype Group the following year and Sports Prototype in 1968. These groups then evolved acording to the regulations to become categories with different eligibility criteria and classifications (weight, cubic capacity, minimum number of models built, etc). They changed names on several occasions and today they are called and Le Mans Grand Touring, which are the two main categories of eligible cars.
