The No. 22 United Autosports and No. 47 Algarve Pro Racing cars are of in the dirt on the start, with the No. 22 flying off screen through the gravel as the Hypercar smade their way through the first few corners. Toyota gets both of their cars through turn 1 together, with No. 8 leading No. 7, but both of the Glickenhaus cars pass the No. 36 Alpine before the first corner. Corvette Racing holds the entire front row in the final year of GTE Pro, a class with just seven cars this season. After the two other WRT cars suffered damage in an opening lap clash and one of them was assessed an additional penalty, the No. 32 WRT car is up to sixth. LMP2 is the biggest class in the race, boasting more than 25 cars. That would have been a battle for the lead. Both the gaps and order remain consistent near the top of the other three classes.

Further time was then lost with checks to inspect a vibration and a subsequent diffuser change, before the decision was made to pull the car from the race due to what the team called "significant mechanical damage - seen and unseen - at the rear of the car". Sims was leading comfortably in the #64 C8.R he shares with Nick Tandy and Tommy Milner when he was taken out of the race by the #83 AF Corse LMP2 car driven by Francois Perrodo. Corvette Racing's hopes of scoring the final GTE Pro class win in the Le Mans 24 Hours were destroyed as Alexander Sims was side-swiped by an errant LMP2 car with just over six hours to go.
After what looked like their race to win it all fell apart for Corvette Racing in the third quarter of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The JOTA #38 was the only class leader to have a smooth six hours, retaining and growing their lead at the front of the class. At the end of the 18th hour, Perrodo was overtaking an LMP2 coming down Mulsanne when he twitched the car a little too far left, tagging the back of Alexander Sims in the then GTE Pro class leading #64. There was nothing Sims could do but brace for impact as the Corvette made contact with the Armco barrier completely buckling the front left tyre inwards. After swapping positions for 15 hours of the race, the Toyota Gazoo Racing #8 has a lap on the sister car after the #7 suffered a technical failure.
Toyota secured its fifth consecutive victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours as the #8 crew of Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa came out on top.
Corvette had swept the front row of the class and its cars looked to be the class of the seven-car Pro field on sheer pace, with Porsche its nearest challenger and Ferrari struggling to hang on to the coat-tails of its two rivals. A crash for the #31 WRT entry of Robin Frijns in the early morning, which caused the one and only safety car period of the race, meant the #38 was delayed at the end of the pitlane by a red light, but that was just about the only misfortune that befell the team. With Frijns crashing out the lead WRT entry and the #41 Realteam by WRT car heavily delayed and damaged in the first-corner incident involving Rast and Owen, it was the third-string #42 car of Dries Vanthoor, Mirko Bortolotti and Rolf Ineichen that was the Belgian squadโs highest finisher in a lowly 10th place. The only blip on the way to victory for the #8 car was a slightly slow changeover from Buemi to Hartley in the penultimate hour, with Hartley going on to secure victory by a final margin of 2m01.222s over Lopez in the #7 machine. Two trips to the garage - first to replace the electronic clutch unit and then the ignition coil - were followed by a penalty for speeding and then another 20-minute spell in the pits after an off for Vaxiviere at the Porsche Curves in the morning hours. Although the car shared by Lopez, Mike Conway and Kamui Kobayashi was able to get back on to the lead lap, on pace there was virtually nothing to choose between the two Toyota crews, which had spent the first two thirds of the race exchanging the lead.
A jaw-dropping helicopter dive stunned 24 Hours of Le Mans fans in what was a truly amazing pre-race show at the famous event.
