24 Hours of Le Mans Roll of Honour (1923-2025)

Since the inaugural running in 1923, the 24 Hours of Le Mans has written the history of endurance racing. This roll of honour gathers every overall winner, year after year, from the early Chenard & Walcker to the Ferrari 499P of the 2020s. More than a century of racing, interrupted only by the 1936 crisis and the Second World War, forms a unique chronicle of motorsport.

The early decades belonged to the great European marques: Bentley dominated the late 1920s, Alfa Romeo took four wins in a row in the early 1930s, then Jaguar imposed its C-Type and D-Type through the 1950s. The following era saw the legendary Ford versus Ferrari duel of the mid-1960s, immortalised by the American GT40s that broke Italian supremacy.

From the 1970s, Porsche built the legend that makes it the most successful manufacturer in the race, from the 917 to the 956 and 962 of the early 1980s. The 2000s belonged to Audi and its R10, R15 and R18 diesels, before the return of Toyota and the arrival of the new Hypercar class, which revived the interest of major manufacturers at the turn of the 2020s.

Each row of this table pairs the winning team, the driver crew, the car entered and, where the data exists, the distance covered and the average speed over twenty-four hours. It is the living memory of the Circuit de la Sarthe, stage of the finest chapters in world endurance racing.
