In both of the last two years in the LMP1 class, Porsche had stolen victory from Toyota, which had experienced differing issues. Both TS050 Hybrid’s were able to avoid issues this year on their way to a 1-2 finish. This year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans featured perhaps the strongest group of Toyota drivers ever. Among those who drove for the winning No. 8 team was two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso; he was joined by Kazuki Nakajima and Sébastien Buemi.

The No. 3 Rebellion Racing team finished third to round out the LMP1 podium.

The winner for the LMP2 class was the No. 26 Oreca G-Drive Racing team. However, the team on Monday reportedly was stripped of its win due to the discovery of an illegal part used in its refuelling rig. The No. 36 Signatech Alpine Oreca team was then credited with victory for LMP2, followed by the No. 39 Graff-S024 team. United Autosports’ No. 32 Ligier was promoted to the final podium spot.

The No. 77 Dempsey - Proton Racing team (Porsche 911 RSR) took first in the GTE Am class, followed by the No. 54 Spirit of Race team (Ferrari 488 GTE) in second and the No. 85 Keating Motorsports team (Ferrari 488 GTE) in third.

The culmination of storylines for the 86th running of the French endurance classic at the famous Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France, made for an intriguing race from beginning to end. Below are the full results.
