For the drivers of Toyota Gazoo Racing, the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours is their greatest opportunity to return to the top of the sports car racing mountain after two very difficult defeats in the last few years.

Saturday's 24 Hours of Le Mans, will likely be a classic edition of the battle for victory in all classes wide open. But which cars dazzled most at Le Sarthe?

As the newest and least competitive car, the Valkyrie gets the biggest break, with a minimum weight of just 2,271 lbs (1,030 kg) and a maximum power of 697 hp (520 kW). The Toyota GR010—which won the race in 2021 and 2022—can also deploy 697 hp but at a minimum weight of 2,321 lbs (1,052 kg), more than any other car in the class.

The GR LH2 Racing Concept is an operational test car based on the GR010 Hybrid Hypercar, Toyota's current Le Mans entry.
