Usage notes
Launched in 2012 by the FIA and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, the organizer of Le Mans. The top class has been Hypercar since 2021, contested by manufacturers such as Toyota, Ferrari, Porsche and Cadillac. Several classes race at the same time, so both overall and class winners are reported.
