Behind the #83, the Hypercar order was packed onto the same lap: the Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963 #6, led by Kevin Estre, finished second just 14.084 seconds back, while the AF Corse Ferrari 499P #51, with Antonio Giovinazzi, completed the podium at 28.487 seconds. Three cars on the same lap after a full day of racing made the 2025 edition one of the most hotly contested of the Hypercar era.</p><p>In LMP2, the Inter Europol Competition Oreca #43 took victory with Tom Dillmann, Jakub Smiechowski and Nick Yelloly after 367 laps. The VDS Panis Racing #48 took second place ahead of the AO by TF #199.

The Vista AF Corse #21 and the TF Sport #81 rounded out the class podium.</p><p>Beyond the numbers, the 2025 edition confirms Ferrari's foothold at the very top of world endurance racing and the depth of a Hypercar field in which every manufacturer can fight for the win. For Robert Kubica, this Le Mans success stands as one of the high points of an extraordinary career.</p>
