Summary

It’s almost time once again for one of the biggest races in the world, the 92nd Running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as 62 entrants from 13 different manufacturers head to the Circuit De La Sarthe for the ultimate test of speed, endurance, stamina and reliability! Joining Steph Wentworth are Autosport Editor Gary Watkins and three-time Le Mans Winner and World Endurance Champion Allan McNish, and together they break down all the key contenders for the race. Will Porsche and their fleet of six cars get their twentieth win and Roger Penske’s first as a team boss? Ferrari will be in the mix but could be hurt by the new Power Gate restrictions taking away some of their top speed. Toyota’s experience and recent winning record will be a factor as well. There’s also talk on the more fringe contenders like BMW, Lamborghini’s Le Mans debut, as well as full previews for the LMP2 class making a one-off appearance, and the LMGT3 class.
