There is no shortage of talent in the LMP2 class at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, with several Hypercar/GTP drivers stepping down to the intermediate class. A total of 19 Oreca 07s are entered in LMP2, with 10 of those competing in the Pro-Am sub-class.
While LMP2 has always boasted some big names over the years, a variety of factors have led to an even bigger influx of star talent. Porsche’s exit from the Hypercar class is the single-biggest contributing factor, leaving a number of factory drivers without top-class seats. But many prominent drivers from IMSA have also jumped on the opportunity to take part in the biggest endurance race of the year, adding to the depth of the field.
