Is the Toyota Gazoo Racing team's Le Mans stranglehold about to end? The factory has won four races in a row, but they're trailing both Alpine and Glickenhaus in the Hypercar World Endurance drivers' standings. However, with double-points up for grabs at the Circuit de la Sarthe, victory at Le Mans could change the entire complexion of the championship.

Legendary rally and F1 legends Ogier and Robert Kubica are amongst the 27-team field in the LMP2 category, and the Pole is out for redemption after an electrical issue cost him and his teammates a nailed-on class victory on the final lap of last year's race. Other drivers to keep an eye on include potential future F1 stars Pietro Fittipaldi and Jack Aitken, and Josh Pierson, who at 16 years and 117 days old will go down in history as the youngest competitor in Le Mans history.

There are seven entries in the LMGTE Pro class, while the LMGTE Am category will be contested by 23 teams, with two-time 24 Hours of Daytona winner Renger van der Zande and Fassbender the big names to keep an eye on. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2022 Le Mans live stream from anywhere.
