Le Mans contenders
Eight manufacturers will be vying for glory in the Hypercar class. Ferrari, which won the last three editions of the race, will be leading the charge. Toyota is expected to pose a bigger challenge this year after radically overhauling its LMH prototype, which now goes by the TR010 Hybrid name. Cadillac will have three cars on the grid, including an additional entry from Wayne Taylor Racing. Alpine and BMW can also pose a serious challenge with their respective LMDh cars.
