Toyota wins the 24 Hours of Le Mans after a close race-long fight involving BMW and Cadillac, ending Ferrari’s recent run of victories at the endurance classic. The No. 7 Toyota—driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries—struggles early and is reported as running in fourth place by Sunday morning. With about six hours remaining, a safety car bunches up the field, allowing Kobayashi to make a decisive move during the restart. Toyota then takes and maintains the lead for the remainder of the race. The team holds off late challenges from BMW and Cadillac, with the final stages described as a late battle for position. The win is Toyota’s sixth at Le Mans overall and is its first victory since a prior streak ended in 2022. Collectively, the reports state that the result breaks Ferrari’s dominance in the event, with Ferrari having won the previous three Le Mans races. The race features sustained competition between the leading teams rather than a single decisive moment, but the restart after the safety car is identified as the key turning point for Toyota.
