Today, an updated 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours entry list was released detailing the full driver lineups for all 62 cars participating in the upcoming race. The revised list now includes a total of 186 drivers, with some new additions across all classes, reflecting recent driver announcements. Notably, despite having a reserve list with five cars, no additional vehicles were needed by the ACO. In the Hypercar class, the Penske team’s third Porsche, No. 4, will feature Nick Tandy and Felipe Nasr alongside Mathieu Jaminet, forming an all-IMSA GTP lineup, instead of Sebastein Vettel as previously speculated. Additionally, Porsche’s decision to prioritize drivers with Le Mans experience led to the selection of Tandy and Nasr for the prestigious event. Ferdinand Habsburg’s absence due to injury has prompted Jules Gounon to fill in for Alpine while Felipe Drugovich joins Action Express Cadillac V-Series for his Hypercar race debut at Le Mans. Lastly, notable driver lineup adjustments include Patrick Pilet joining Vector Sport, Bent Viscaal and Maceo Capietto teaming up at Proton Competition, and David Heinemeier Hansson partnering with Fabio Scherer and Kyffin Simpson at Nielsen Racing.
