The 92nd 24 Hours of Le Mans (French: 92e 24 Heures du Mans) is the 92nd Grand Prix of Endurance that is scheduled to take place on 15–16 June 2024 at the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France.

The Circuit de la Sarthe

Background

The 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans will be the 92nd running of the 24-hour race organised by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest. The LM GTE Am class of 2023 will be transitioned to LMGT3 for the 2024 race. While LMP2 cars will not be running in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship, Automobile Club de l’Ouest will allocate a minimum of 15 grid slots to LMP2 cars for the race.[1] A number of new and returning manufacturers are hoping to field cars in the 2024 event, including Alpine, Ford, BMW, and McLaren.[2][3][4][5] LMGT3 models that do not compete for the full 2024 FIA WEC seasons are not permitted to enter at the 24 hour race.[6]

Entries

Automatic entries

In addition to all full season WEC entries, automatic invites are given to championship winners in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS), LMP2 and LMGTE in the Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS) and Bronze Cup in GT World Challenge Europe (GTWCE) in a combined Endurance and Sprint Championship.

Notes

  1. ^ a b c Kvyat and Boguslavskiy are Russian, but they compete as neutral competitors as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Lomko, also a Russian, competes under a Grenadian licence for the same reason.
  2. ^ Malykhin is Belarusian, but he competes under a Kittitian licence as Belarusian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
