24 Hours of Le Mans: race preview
100 years since its inaugural outing, we're heading to the storied roads of Le Mans for the most iconic endurance race on the calendar. Teams will line up in three classes—LMGTE AM, LMP2, and the eye-wateringly fast Hypercar—and over 24 hours both man and machine will be pushed to the limit in one of motorsport's greatest spectacles. The action is now underway.
Introduced in 2021, the Hypercar class is home to some of the fastest machines on the planet. Odds are that Toyota's GR010 Hybrid will take the win this year, having placed first and second in every race of this year's FIA World Endurance Championship, and the last two trips around Le Mans. However, motorsport is anything but predictable, so prepare for this to be a hard-fought battle.
Chief among Toyota's challengers is Ferrari, who this season has returned to the top flight of endurance racing after a 50-year hiatus. And, while Toyota is pushing the Prancing Horse all the way, with a couple of hours to go Ferrari is clinging to the top spot.
You may also notice something distinctly large and American on the track. Each year, Le Mans allows a wildcard onto the track, known as the Garage 56 car, and this year it is, of all things, a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 NASCAR built by Hendrick Motorsports.
F1 champion Jenson Button, former Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller, and 7-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson will be at the wheel over the 24 hours, and preliminary testing shows the Yank muscle outpacing the daintier GTE AM machinery. Certainly something to look out for.

How to watch Le Mans live stream from outside your country
If you're abroad for this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, you might find that your home-language coverage isn't available where you are. This isn't necessarily cause for alarm, but rather the result of geo-blocking – best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to certain parts of the world.
Fortunately, there's a convenient way around this in the form of a VPN. This is a nifty bit of software that lets you whizz around these digital borders, thereby allowing you to globe trot and still access your preferred Le Mans live stream. It's a completely legal workaround, very affordable, and super easy to use – allow us to explain more.
