Le Mans 2023: Qualifying results from the iconic 24-hour race

Jenson Button in the Garage 56 NASCAR during Le Mans testing. Circuit de la Sarthe June 2023.
Qualifying has now concluded for Le Mans 2023, with the fastest eight cars in each class having booked their places in Hyperpole on Thursday.
A huge 62-car field took to the Circuit de la Sarthe for the qualifying hour on Wednesday evening, with multiple red flags having halted the drivers as offs throughout the classes punctuated an intriguing session throughout the field.
All three classes were phenomenally close throughout, all the more impressive considering the enormous length of the Circuit de la Sarthe as a track, and it was Ferrari that showed real pace on their first Le Mans start in the Hypercar class.
For those looking out for 2009 F1 World Champion Jenson Button in his Garage 56 entry, he is not attached to a class with the #24 NASCAR entry being classed as an ‘Innovative Car’, and team-mate Mike Rockenfeller went several seconds faster than the whole LMGTE Am field in the car’s most likely challengers.
The positions 9th and below in class are now set on the grid for the start of the race on Saturday afternoon, and the top eight will now advance for the 30-minute Hyperpole session on Thursday evening.
