Multiple teams are making requests for spaces on the grid for the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours in June, potentially receiving a significant boost from IMSA’s GTP field, including Porsche Penske Motorsport entering a third factory car after winning the 2024 IMSA GTP title. Proton Competition is also preparing to request an entry for an additional 963 of its own, potentially bringing the total number of Porsche 963s in the field to five if Christian Ried’s team’s wish is granted. Cadillac’s attack on the French classic may feature four factory cars, with Wayne Taylor Racing and Action Express Racing each believed to be looking to bring a car apiece. General Motors may secure entries for WTR and AXR, leading to four V-Series.Rs lining up at Le Mans for the first time, along with TF Sport and AWA representing Corvette in the LMGT3 category. Bronze driver Orey Fidani, a Bob Akin Award winner in 2024, will run at the event and aims to use a second chassis for logistical reasons to be ready for the IMSA race at Watkins Glen after Le Mans.
