2025 24 Hours of Le Mans: Wednesday 11 June as it happened

Live text coverage of Wednesday at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans

The 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans begins officially on Wednesday 11 June with opening practice and the first qualifying sessions of the event.

The jewel in the World Endurance Championship crown, the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans will see 62 cars across three categories battle it out to etch their names into the history books in arguably motorsport's most famous race.

Ferrari comes into the 2025 edition of the enduro as the reigning winners, having tallied up success in the Hypercar class over the last two years, and is firm favourite to complete the hat-trick this weekend.

Having won all rounds of the 2025 WEC campaign so far, a Balance of Performance adjustment for Le Mans appears to have allowed Ferrari to maintain its advantage over its rivals.

Wednesday 24 Hours of Le Mans schedule:

FP1 - 2pm CET-5pm CET
Qualifying LMP2/LMGT3 - 6:45pm CET
Qualifying Hypercar - 7:30pm CET
FP2 - 10pm CET to 12am CET

This first session will give us a good idea of whether that stacks up or not.
