The ACO has revealed changes to the qualifying format for the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours, debuting next June. The new system includes an updated Hyperpole shootout split into two parts, involving more cars than before. LMP2 and LMGT3 teams will partake in a 30-minute session on June 11, with the top 12 from each class progressing to the Hyperpole the next day to determine the starting grid’s top positions. Following that, the Hypercar session will commence, advancing the top 15 prototypes to the Hyperpole rounds. On June 12, double Hyperpole sessions for LMGT3, LMP2, and Hypercar will take place, with the top contenders battling it out for the top positions. The overall shift aims to enhance competition and anticipation for the prestigious endurance race.
