    Le Mans 2023: Qualifying results from the iconic 24-hour race
    Henry Valantine 19 hours ago
    Le Mans 24 Hours testing with Jenson Button. June Le Mans 2023.

    Qualifying has now concluded for Le Mans 2023, with the fastest eight
    cars in each class having booked their places in Hyperpole on Thursday.

    A huge 62-car field took to the Circuit de la Sarthe for the qualifying
    hour on Wednesday evening, with multiple red flags having halted the
    drivers as offs throughout the classes punctuated an intriguing session throughout the field.

    All three classes were phenomenally close throughout, all the more
    impressive considering the enormous length of the Circuit de la Sarthe
    as a track, and it was Ferrari that showed real pace on their first Le
    Mans start in the Hypercar class.

    For those looking out for 2009 F1 World Champion Jenson Button in his
    Garage 56 entry, he is not attached to a class with the #24 NASCAR entry
    being classed as an ‘Innovative Car’, and team-mate Mike Rockenfeller
    went several seconds faster than the whole LMGTE Am field in the car’s
    most likely challengers.

    The positions 9th and below in class are now set on the grid for the
    start of the race on Saturday afternoon, and the top eight will now
    advance for the 30-minute Hyperpole session on Thursday evening, which
    gets underway
