The entry list for the 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours has been announced by the ACO, featuring a grid of 62 cars across three classes. Among these are 23 Hypercars competing for the overall win, 16 LMP2s, and 23 LMGT3s. The top class boasts nine factory teams, making it the largest this century. Action Express’ V-Series.R will be returning alongside Ganassi-run examples, with Cadillac bringing drivers from Ganassi’s IMSA GTP program to join the team. Additionally, Penske will enter a third factory car, the No. 4, with Mathieu Jaminet listed as the driver.
Romain Grosjean, Andrea Caldarelli, and Matteo Cairoli will pilot the second Iron Lynx-run Lamborghini SC63 as car No. 19. Notably, a second Proton Competition Porsche 963 is absent from the full entry, with Gianmaria Bruni named on the reserve list. The LMP2 grid will consist of 16 cars, including entries from IMSA teams like United Autosports, AO Racing, Inter Europol, and AF Corse. Leading drivers in LMP2 include Louis Deletraz, Filipe Albuquerque, and Colin Braun. All 16 prototypes in the class will be ORECA 07s, with five cars receiving automatic invitations based on their success in the European Le Mans Series.
