2017 24 Hours of Le Mans - wikipedia 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans Previous : 2016 Next : 2018 Index : Races Winners Porsche LMP Team No. 2 Porsche 919 Hybrid, Winner of the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe track The 85th 24 Hours of Le Mans ( French : 85 24 Heures du Mans ) was an automobile endurance event held on 17 -- 18 June 2017 at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France. It was the 85th running of the 24 hour race organised by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest as well as the third round of the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship. 258,500 people attended the event. The race was won by the No. 2 Porsche driven by Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley and Earl Bamber after taking the lead of the race in the final two hours. It was the second victory at Le Mans for Bamber and Bernhard, and Hartley 's first. Toyota 's Sébastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima, and Anthony Davidson finished in eighth place after starting on pole position, and were the only other competitor in the LMP1 field to finish the event. The LMP2 category was won by Ho - Pin Tung, Thomas Laurent, and Oliver Jarvis in the No. 38 Jackie Chan DC Racing Oreca, who led the race outright for several hours before finishing in second place overall. The second DC Racing entry of David Cheng, Tristan Gommendy, and Alex Brundle were three laps behind for third overall, followed by the No. 35 Signatech Alpine of Nelson Panciatici, Pierre Ragues, and André Negrão. Aston Martin won the LMGTE Pro category, after the No. 97 car of Darren Turner, Jonathan Adam, and Daniel Serra overtook the stricken No. 63 Corvette of Jordan Taylor, Antonio García, and Jan Magnussen in the final two laps of the race. The No. 67 Ford was also able to pass the Corvette on the final lap to take second place for Harry Tincknell, Andy Priaulx, and Pipo Derani. LMGTE Am was won by the JMW Motorsport Ferrari of Robert Smith, Will Stevens, and Dries Vanthoor. Ferraris also finished in second and third, with Spirit of Race 's Duncan Cameron, Aaron Scott, and Marco Cioci in second, and Scuderia Corsa 's Townsend Bell, Cooper MacNeil, and Bill Sweedler in third.

It was the 85th running of the event, and the third of nine scheduled rounds of the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship. The race was scheduled to avoid conflicting with other major motorsport events, as was the case in the 2016 event when it clashed with the European Grand Prix. Before the race Toyota drivers Anthony Davidson, Kazuki Nakajima and Sébastien Buemi led the Drivers ' Championship with 50 points, 17 ahead of second - placed Timo Bernhard, Earl Bamber and Brendon Hartley and a further five in front of Neel Jani, Nick Tandy, André Lotterer in third. Mike Conway and Kamui Kobayashi were fourth on 19.5 points and their teammate Nicolas Lapierre rounded out the top five with 16 points. Toyota were leading the Manufacturers ' Championship on 69.5 points, seven and a half ahead of their sole rival Porsche in second position. Toyota had so far dominated the championship with Davidson, Nakajima and Buemi winning the season 's previous two rounds. Bernhard, Bamber and Hartley and Conway and Kobayashi had all finished in second once with their teammates Jani, Tandy, Lotterer having achieved one third - place result. Regulation changes Following the 2016 event in which the leading car failed on its final lap and was eventually not classified in the final results, the standards by which a car is classified have been changed. Instead of the mandatory six minutes for the final lap of the race, penalties will be awarded for any lap over six minutes on a gradual scale. Failure to complete the last lap of the race in under fifteen minutes will now lead to a car no longer being classified. The slow zone system used at Le Mans has also been revised, with nine dedicated slow zone sectors laid out around the circuit. Previously individual marshal posts were used to mark the beginning and end of slow zones. The dedicated zones have been located such that the beginning of the 80 km / h ( 50 mph ) is in a slow section of the circuit ; previous slow zones could begin in areas of the track where cars were required to slow down from high speeds and cause accidents. Modifications were made to the circuit from the Porsche Curves to the Ford Chicane. The run - off area where the last right hand turn goes into the left hand corner that begins the entry to Corvette corner was widened with the barrier at the Porsche Curves being moved further back. Further the angle of the wall at the left hand entry to the short straight before the Ford Chicane was altered. The changes led to criticism from Lotterer and Jan Magnussen about the potential loss of challenge and the ACO 's sporting manager Vincent Beaumesnil defended the alterations by saying that widening the run - off area was preferable than adding a chicane at the Porsche Curves. The Le Mans Prototype 2 ( LMP2 ) category was revamped with the introduction of a single specification motor from Gibson, with increased power output compared to 2016 LMP2 cars. Cockpit and chassis designs also mimic the Le Mans Prototype 1 ( LMP1 ) regulations for safety. The four approved chassis manufacturers were Dallara, Ligier, Oreca and Riley. Entries Automatic invitations Automatic entry invitations are earned by teams that won their class in the previous running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, or won championships in the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series, and the Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup. The second - place finisher in the European Le Mans Series Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance ( LMGTE ) championship also earns an automatic invitation. Two participants from the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship are chosen by the series to be automatic entries by the ACO regardless of their performance or category. As invitations are granted to teams, they were allowed to change their cars from the previous year to the next, but not allowed to change their category. The LMGTE class invitations from the European and Asian Le Mans Series are allowed to choose between the Pro and Am categories. European Le Mans Series ' Le Mans Prototype 3 ( LMP3 ) champion is required to field an entry in LMP2 while the Asian Le Mans Series LMP3 champion may choose between LMP2 or LMGTE Am. The Michelin GT3 Le Mans Cup champions are limited to the LMGTE Am category. The ACO announced its initial list of automatic entries on 23 January 2017.

In addition to the 28 guaranteed entries from the World Endurance Championship, 13 entries came from the European Le Mans Series, six from the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, eleven from the Asian Le Mans Series, while the rest of the field was filled with one - off entries only competing at Le Mans. Two cars were initially named to the reserve entry list for the event ; RLR Msport later withdrew their LMP2 Ligier, while a fourth entry from Proton Competition remained without being promoted to the race. With the withdrawal of Audi Sport Team Joest from LMP1, the class was reduced to just six entries for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Testing and Practice A pre-Le Mans testing day was held at the circuit on 4 June, and mandated all entrants for the race to participate in eight hours of track time divided into two sessions. The morning session, held on a dirty track with lap times improving towards its conclusion, was led by Toyota ( the pre-race favourites ), with Nakajima 's No. 8 car setting a lap time of three minutes and 20.778 seconds. The second Toyota of Kobayashi followed, almost seven - tenths of a second in arrears, and José María López completed a Toyota sweep of the first three placings in the No. 9 car. Porsche were off Toyota 's pace by more than two seconds and completed the LMP1 field with Bernhard fourth and Lotterer fifth. Orecas led LMP2 with thirteen cars at the top of the time sheets, led by the No. 36 Signatech Alpine of André Negrão, the sole driver to go under than three minutes and 30 minutes with a three minutes and 29.809 seconds lap, and was ahead of Rebellion and Graff. LMGTE Pro was topped by Corvette with Magnussen 's lap of three minutes and 55.726 seconds, followed by Patrick Pilet 's No. 91 Porsche 911 RSR and the second Corvette of Oliver Gavin. The No. 77 Porsche driven by Matteo Cairoli was fastest in LMGTE Am, ahead of the DH Racing Ferrari 488 of Andrea Bertolini. The second session saw Toyota continuing to lead the time sheets with Kobayashi setting a three minutes and 18.132 seconds lap time, followed by Buemi whose best effort was 1.1 seconds slower than Kobayashi 's pace and López was a further 2.2 seconds slower in third. Porsche were still off the pace from Toyota with their best effort coming from Bamber in the No. 2 car followed by Jani in the sister No. 1 entry. Nelson Panciatici in the No. 35 Signatech Alpine improved the fastest lap in LMP2 and finished in front of the sole LMP1 privateer, the No. 4 ByKolles Racing ENSO CLM P1 / 01 of Dominik Kraihamer, to go sixth overall. Panciatci 's time put him ahead of Jean - Éric Vergne 's No. 24 Manor Oreca and the No. 37 Jackie Chan DC Racing car of Alex Brundle. Gavin missed 91 minutes due to him changing his engine midway through but recorded the best lap of the day in LMGTE Pro at three minutes and 54.701 seconds towards the end of testing to displace Frédéric Makowiecki 's No. 92 Porsche at the top of the time sheets. Aston Martin led LMGTE Am with Pedro Lamy 's three minutes and 58.250 seconds lap time that put him two - tenths of a second faster than Fernando Rees in the Larbre Compétition Corvette. The No. 33 Eurasia Motorsport Ligier JS P217 of Erik Maris caused the session to be stopped after becoming stranded in the Dunlop Curves gravel trap. Paul - Loup Chatin 's No. 17 IDEC Sport Ligier and Jan Lammers in the Racing Team Nederland Dallara made contact at the second Mulsanne Chicane but both cars continued without major damage. The session was prematurely ended with less than fifteen minutes remaining when the No. 25 Manor of Roberto González laid oil on the track and stopped. Official practice was held on 14 June with the full 60 - car field on track for four hours and took place in hot and sunny weather conditions. Toyota led from the offset once again, with Lapierre setting the early pace and remained at the top for most of the session until Bamber bettered Lapierre 's effort. Kobayashi improved on Porsche 's effort until he was overtaken in the final five minutes by Jani with a lap of three minutes and 20.362 seconds. Alex Lynn in the No. 26 G - Drive Racing car led LMP2 with less than forty minutes left with a lap of three minutes and 30.363 seconds and displaced the No. 13 Rebellion of Nelson Piquet Jr. The sister No. 31 Rebellion driven by Bruno Senna was third. The LMGTE Pro field was led from the start by Aston Martins and Corvettes until Sam Bird 's No. 71 AF Corse Ferrari ended the session at the top of the time sheets with three minutes and 54.832 seconds effort. The best Aston Martin was placed second with Darren Turner 's No. 97 vehicle and the second AF Corse car of James Calado completed the top three. In LMGTE Am, the quickest vehicle was the No. 98 Aston Martin of Lamy, ahead of a trio of Ferraris led by DH Racing. The safety cars was required for one hour and fifteen minutes after Christian Philippon 's Larbre Compétition Corvette went off the track leaving the Porsche Curves and damaged the car 's bodywork in an impact with the tyre barriers. Stephane Lemeret 's No. 88 Proton Porsche scraped the barrier through the Porsche Curves but continued to the pit lane for repairs. The Cetilar Villorba Corse Dallara of Roberto Lacorte slid into the Mulsanne Corner gravel trap and was forced to abandon his car. Qualifying The first of three qualifying sessions began late Wednesday night under clear conditions. The start was delayed due to an incident during the practice session for the first Road to Le Mans race in which a major crash necessitated barrier repairs to the Porsche Curves and the session was shortened by twenty minutes. Slow zones and yellow flags limited the amount of quick running, and the rapidly cooling track meant the best chance to set the fastest lap times was missed. The first timed laps of the session saw Porsche led early on with a benchmark effort from Jani, followed by Bernhard 's three minutes and 19.710 seconds lap. Fifteen minutes later, Kobayashi had no slower traffic impeding him and topped the session with a time of three minutes and 18.793 seconds to put him provisional pole position. Nakajima followed six - tenths of a second behind in second with Bernhard 's effort was enough to put him provisional third. Lapierre was the slowest of the three Toyotas in fourth with Jani off the pace from Kobayashi. Rounding out the LMP1 field was Kraihamer whose fastest time was ten seconds slower than the leading Toyota but clear of the LMP2 field. Matthieu Vaxivière carried TDS Racing 's Oreca to provisional pole in LMP2 with a time of three minutes and 29.333 seconds set late in the session. He was half a second clear of Senna who held the class pole until Vaxivière 's lap. The No. 25 Manor, driven by Vitaly Petrov, was third - fastest and was followed by teammate Vergne in fourth. Eric Trouillet in the No. 39 Graff Oreca caused the session 's first yellow flag when he contacted the barriers leaving the second Mulsanne Chicane and the No. 27 SMP Racing Dallara caused further disruption when it reportedly suffered a fire impacting the barrier that was extinguished quickly. Aston Martin topped both the LMGTE categories in the first qualifying session, with Nicki Thiim setting the fastest time of three minutes and 52.117 seconds in the No. 95 car, while Mathias Lauda was the fastest Amateur class entry with a three minutes and 55.134 seconds lap. The No. 82 Risi Competizione Ferrari 488 was eleventh amongst LMGTEs before ACO officials disallowed their fastest lap times for their team breaking parc fermé regulations by handling the tyres after the session. Kamui Kobayashi ( pictured in 2010 ) broke Neel Jani 's two - year pole position lap record to clinch Toyota 's third pole at Le Mans. Thursday 's first qualifying session began with a stoppage for a crash. Seventeen minutes into the session, Maris spun and crashed his No. 33 car heavily into the outside barriers leaving the first Mulsanne Chicane. Maris was unhurt but was transported to the medical centre for a precautionary check - up and the conclusion of second qualifying was rescheduled to 21 : 30 Central European Summer Time ( CEST ) ( UTC + 02 : 00 ) as a consequence. When it restarted, Kobayashi exited the pit lane early and was helped by tailwinds on the Mulsanne Straight and headwinds through the Porsche Curves to set a new provisional pole lap of three minutes and 14.791 seconds. It was nearly two seconds faster than the qualifying lap record set in 2015 on the current 13.629 - kilometre ( 8.469 mi ) version of the Circuit de la Sarthe and averaged 251.882 km / h ( 156.512 mph ) to beat Hans - Joachim Stuck 's 1985 qualifying run. The No. 8 Toyota stopped leaving the second Mulsanne Chicane with an oil supply problem that necessitated the team to change its engine. It returned to the track with ten minutes remaining but the Toyota fell to fourth as Buemi could not improve on the car 's best time. Jani and Bernhard in the two Porsches bettered their lap times and moved to second and third. Yuji Kunimoto also improved the No. 9 Toyota 's best lap but fell to fifth. Petrov 's Manor set a new LMP2 class lap record with a time of three minutes and 25.549 more than a second faster than rookie Thomas Laurent in Jackie Chan DC Racing 's No. 38 vehicle and the sister Manor of Vergne. Petrov consequently demoted the ByKolles car to seventh overall. The LMGTE categories had some changes with Aston Martin remaining the leaders in Pro but Jonathan Adam bettered Thiim 's first qualification session lap with Calado improving to second. Euan Hankey became the provisional LMGTE Am pole sitter before Will Stevens eclipsed his time to take over the position. At the premature end to qualifying with half an hour left, Timothé Buret drove onto grass in the No. 23 Panis Barthez Competition Ligier and lost control of his car. Buret heavily damaged the vehicle in an impact with the barrier and was stranded in the gravel trap entering Tertre Rouge corner. As temperatures cooled in the final qualifying session, more than half the field improved their fastest laps, but Kobayashi 's time could not be bettered by any other driver in LMP1 and thus held the record to clinch Toyota 's third pole position at Le Mans and their first since 2014. Nakajima improved the No. 8 car 's time by more than two seconds to sit alongside the sister No. 7 Toyota on the grid 's front row. Porsche was not able to improve on their times from the second qualifying session and settled for third and fourth places. Hartley slowed and stopped the No. 2 Porsche at Indianapolis corner as a precaution due to rising oil temperatures. He attempted to return to the pit lane on electric power but was forced to abandon the car. Lapierre improved early in third qualifying but could only muster fifth position. Oliver Webb took advantage of some clear air to move the ByKolles car back into sixth overall but was more than nine seconds off the pace. Lynn reset the LMP2 lap record early in third qualifying by 11.3 seconds over the previous year 's time demoting the No. 25 Manor Oreca to second. Ho - Pin Tung 's No. 38 Jackie Chan DC Racing car took third and battled with Senna for the position. Oreca chassis, as well as the variant Alpine chassis, secured the first nine positions in LMP2, while the Dallara of SMP Racing was the fastest of the other chassis in tenth place. Aston Martin led LMGTE Pro with Richie Stanaway setting a new class record before Turner improved with a three minutes and 50.837 lap to secure the British marque 's first category pole since 2015. The two cars were separated by Calado in the closing minutes and Bird came within 0.048 seconds of Stanaway 's effort. All five manufacturers in LMGTE Pro were within a second of Turner 's lap, with the fastest Ford in fifth courtesy of Ryan Briscoe, Antonio García taking sixth for Corvette and Porsche seventh with their best time coming from Michael Christensen. The lead in LMGTE Am changed with Rees earning Larbre Compétition 's first class pole for ten years with a time of three minutes and 52.843 seconds, almost four - tenths of a second clear of Lamy 's No. 98 Aston Martin in second and the No. 62 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari of Townsend Bell in third.

The No. 8 Toyota driven by Nakajima set the fastest time with a late lap of three minutes and 18.308 seconds. The sister Toyota of Kobayashi was three - tenths of a second slower in second place. The best placed Porsche was Tandy 's No. 1 car in third position having led the field throughout the majority of the session. Kunimoto was fourth - fastest and Hartley rounded the top five. The fastest LMP2 lap was set by Lynn with a time of three minutes and 27.096 seconds. Briscoe, driving the No. 69 Ford GT, was the quickest driver in LMGTE Pro with the No. 83 DH Racing Ferrari driven by Bertolini the fastest of the LMGTE Am drivers by more than a second. Paul Lafargue oversteered the No. 17 IDEC Sport car driving through the Porsche Curves and made contact with the barriers before stopping in the gravel trap. Lafargue returned to the pit lane for repairs. Race summary The weather conditions on the grid at the start of the race were sunny and hot with an air temperature between 19 and 32 ° C ( 66 and 90 ° F ) and the track temperature ranged from 27 to 38 ° C ( 81 to 100 ° F ). 258,500 people attended the event. The race began at 15 : 00 local time, with the chairman and chief executive of the Formula One Group Chase Carey having the honour of waving the French Tricolour to start the race. After pre race problems the LMP1 No. 4 ByKolles Racing Team entry retired after completing 7 laps due to a loss of compression in the engine. Toyota established a healthy lead in the early hours of the race and the No. 2 Porsche took a lengthy stop after three and a half hours to fix its front axle, losing touch with the leaders. Four and a half hours in the No. 8 Toyota also had to make repairs in the pits, dropping them from contention for the win. Ten hours in, the overall leader Kobayashi in the No. 7 Toyota, suffered a clutch failure and could not make it back to the pits under hybrid power, forcing its retirement. The No. 7 Toyota 's retirement was attributed to Algarve Pro Racing 's Vincent Capillare running up to the car and gave Kobayashi the thumbs up which the latter interpreted as a signal to leave the pit lane. Toyota then told Kobayashi over the radio to stop but this created further confusion. This was quickly followed by the No. 9 Toyota colliding with an LMP2 car which caused a puncture. The debris left on the wheel rim caused further damage to the No. 9 's gearbox and forced it to retire. These events left the No. 1 Porsche with a large lead in the overall standings. However, with four hours to go, it too failed and retired from the race. This left the No. 38 LMP2 car as the overall leader, meaning that for the first time in history the race was led by an LMP2 runner. The eventual winner was the No. 2 Porsche ( coming back from its early repair stop ), passing the No. 38 with less than two hours to go and taking victory with 367 laps ; the No. 8 Toyota, in 8th, was the only other LMP1 car to finish the race ( also after an early repair stop ). Following the race, the third - place overall finisher No. 13 Rebellion Oreca was disqualified by race officials after it was found that the team had modified the rear bodywork by cutting a hole to allow them to hit a faulty starter motor. This modification was deemed as an unnecessary modification of a homologated part of the bodywork. The disqualification promoted the second Jackie Chan DC Racing car to third place overall and second in class. Race result The minimum number of laps for classification ( 70 % of the overall winning car 's race distance ) was 257 laps. Class winners in bold.
