Notes
- ^ The 1994 victory is listed with Porsche, although Dauer Sportwagen was the official constructor of the road car, a Porsche 962 heavily modified for street use and race homologation.
- ^ The 1996 and 1997 victories are listed with Porsche, although the car was built by TWR on a modified Jaguar XJR-14 chassis, fitted with a Porsche 962 engine.
- ^ The 1989 victory is listed with Mercedes-Benz as it was their project and engine, they merely used Sauber as a chassis builder.
- ^ a b Luigi Chinetti won Le Mans initially as an Italian, but later won as an American. His wins are included for both countries.
- ^ He entered 12 times but raced for 2 different cars in 1973 and 1977.
- ^ He won Le Mans with his son Jean-Louis Rosier who raced just 2 laps
- ^ Ferrari, Matra, Ligier, Mirage, Rondeau, De Cadenet, Ford, Lola, WM, Courage, ALD, Cougar, Porsche, Dodge, Marcos, Pilbeam, Dome
- ^ At the finish, Ford decided to stage publicity photo between Miles/Hulme and McLaren/Amon with the No. 5 following, too. According to witnesses, McLaren left a small margin to Miles and it was expected than Miles/Hulme will be declared winner after the examination of the photo finish. But the ACO declared the McLaren/Amon car had won the race, having covered more distance in 24 hours, as it had started the race several places behind the Miles/Hulme car. The ACO estimated the difference to 8 meters.
