Toyota clinched the 24 Hours of Le Mans, beating BMW by 10.9 seconds. Kamui Kobayashi crossed the line in the #7 TR010, with Robin Frijns second and Sebastien Buemi third. Mike Conway earned his second Le Mans win, and a minor upgrade plus a 2026 rebrand helped the team secure its sixth overall victory in a race that drew 350,000 spectators.

Ferrari's three 499P entries, dominant since 2023, fell back dramatically. The #51 car with James Calado finished over two minutes behind, while Robert Kubica's #83 placed seventh. Early contact forced the #50 and #51 Ferraris to lose time, reigniting debate over the hypercar class’s balance‑of‑performance limits that hampered their pace.

The win restores Toyota as the only marque to have competed continuously through sportscar lean years, ending Ferrari’s three‑year streak. With Porsche still holding the record 19 top‑class victories, Toyota’s sixth Le Mans triumph reinforces its status among endurance giants. The result reshapes the WEC championship, pushing Ferrari to address performance issues ahead of next season.

In the lower classes, Inter Europol secured the LMP2 title with a one‑two finish, while Corvette triumphed in LMGT3 thanks to Ben Keating, Nicky Catsburg and Jonny Edgar. Notable moments included Jamie Chadwick becoming the first woman to pilot a hypercar at Le Mans and Aston Martin’s Valkyrie achieving eighth place on its sophomore season. These storylines highlight the growing diversity and competition within endurance racing.
