Only 11 months have passed since the last 24 Hours of Le Mans but, thanks to yet more calendar disruption, the world’s most famous 24-hour race is back — and there’s some major changes.
Following on from January’s reveal of the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship season entry list, the FIA and ACO have announced the full 62-car entry list for the delayed 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The organizing body of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), has announced that it is postponing this year’s race by a little over two months.
Toyota has become the first brand to reveal its Le Mans Hypercar in full. Sticking with Toyota’s naming scheme for its World Endurance Championship vehicles, but shaking things up a little to reflect the fresh start for the category, the car is called the GR010 Hybrid.
This past weekend’s 24 Hour of Le Mans was the end of an era. After a history stretching back more than 25 years, the Le Mans Prototype (LMP) effectively bowed out as the event’s top category.
