Toyota Wins Le Mans 2026, Ending Ferrari's Five-Year Hypercar Streak
Conway, Kobayashi, and de Vries brought the #7 GR010 home first after 381 laps — Toyota's sixth overall win at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Toyota's #7 GR010, shared by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and Nyck de Vries, won the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans outright — completing 381 laps of the Circuit de la Sarthe in 24 hours, 3 minutes, and 1.030 seconds. It's Toyota's sixth overall Le Mans win, and it ends a run in which Ferrari had taken the Hypercar class win in each of the previous five years.
BMW M Team WRT's #20 entry, driven by Robin Frijns, Rene Rast, and Sheldon van der Linde, finished second, just 10.913 seconds behind after a full day of racing. Toyota's sister #8 car — Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley, and Ryo Hirakawa — completed the podium in third, 20.417 seconds back. Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA's #12 took fourth, with a Ferrari AF Corse entry rounding out the top five more than two minutes behind the winner.
In LMP2, Inter Europol Competition's #43 car — Jakub Śmiechowski, Tom Dillmann, and Nick Yelloly — won after 361 laps, ahead of the team's own sister car. For a Hypercar era built specifically to invite in multiple manufacturers rather than let one dominate, this year's result reads exactly like the class was designed to produce: a genuinely open race, decided on the day rather than settled months in advance.
