Ferrari's No.51 Hypercar entry at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Here are the complete results from the 91st running of the Le Mans 24 Hours race at the Circuit de la Sarthe.

Ferrari have won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time since 1965, to end Toyota’s unbroken string of victories over the past five years, upon their return to the Circuit de la Sarthe.

Their #51 499P Hypercar entry driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi came out on top after Calado won out in an overnight battle with the No.8 Toyota entry and, despite a late scare in the pits as Pier Guidi had to do a power cycle in the pits, came home comfortable winners at the end of the 24-hour event.

Pier Guidi had had an off-track moment at the first Mulsanne chicane that handed the lead to Toyota, before getting back into the lead – Toyota being kept in the running after Pier Guidi’s pitstop in the 19th hour also required a power cycle.

Toyota had to settle for second place, with the #8 driven by Ryo Hirakawa crossing the line a minute and a half behind after a late mistake at Arnage saw Hirakawa go into the barriers while trying to increase the pressure on Pier Guidi. He was able to get back to the pits and get repairs without losing a lap, but the mistake ended Toyota’s challenge.

Cadillac came home in third place, with Earl Bamber finishing the race a lap down in the #2 after competing alongside Alex Lynn and Richard Westbrook in what was a straightforward event for the #2 aside from a spin from Westbrook.

Cadillac’s #3 entry finished fourth with Sebastien Bourdais, Renger van der Zande, and Scott Dixon three laps down, while Ferrari AF Corse’s #50 was fifth after an energy recovery system fluid leak cost them any opportunity of recovering from an earlier off from Nicklas Nielsen.
