Recap of the 2025 24 Hours Le Mans

The 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans marked the 93rd running of the world’s most prestigious endurance race and delivered one of the most emotionally resonant victories in recent memory. Ferrari arrived at the Circuit de la Sarthe as reigning champions and early-season favourites, but few expected the story to be written not by their factory team, but by a customer entry that would etch its name into motorsport history.

It was the #83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P, driven by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson, that triumphed after 24 relentless hours of racing. The car, running in the red of Ferrari but as a privateer effort rather than a works team, was quick and composed throughout. Kubica, once a Formula One winner and then the victim of a near-career-ending crash in 2011, finally achieved endurance racing glory — a victory that had eluded him in cruel fashion in 2021. For Yifei Ye, the Chinese rising star, it was a landmark moment as he became the first Chinese driver to win Le Mans, while Britain’s Phil Hanson proved yet again his endurance pedigree. Their performance was consistent and composed, and despite late-race pressure, they crossed the line just 14 seconds ahead of the works Porsche — one of the closest finishes in recent Le Mans history.

Ferrari’s factory entries were not far behind. The #51 car, piloted by Antonio Giovinazzi, James Calado, and Alessandro Pier Guidi, had led for much of the race until a late spin into the gravel by Pier Guidi handed the initiative to the AF Corse crew. They ultimately finished third, with the #50 car also in podium contention until it was later disqualified for a technical infringement, capping a bittersweet weekend for the factory squad.

Porsche, meanwhile, mounted a heroic comeback. The #6 Penske Porsche 963, penalised and forced to start from the back of the grid due to an underweight infraction in qualifying, charged through the field to finish second. It was a drive of determination and discipline, but not quite enough to dethrone Ferrari.

Toyota, for years the dominant force at Le Mans, found themselves on the back foot. Though both entries finished the race, they were never truly in the hunt for victory, highlighting the shifting balance of power in Hypercar. Cadillac, Peugeot, and BMW all had moments of promise, but none could match Ferrari’s combined speed, reliability, and tactical execution.

In the other classes, Inter Europol Competition took a hard-earned win in LMP2, while Manthey EMA’s Porsche 911 GT3 R emerged victorious in the inaugural LMGT3 category, further proving Porsche’s enduring competitiveness across categories.

The 2025 Le Mans will be remembered not just for the racecraft and rivalry, but for the human stories woven through it. Kubica’s redemption arc, Ye’s breakthrough, and Ferrari’s third consecutive overall win — this time through a customer team — underlined the depth of talent and resilience in endurance racing. It was a race that blended tradition and transformation, proving once again why Le Mans remains the beating heart of motorsport.
