From the electric buzz of the starting grid to the golden glow of sunset, Saturday delivered a breathtaking opening chapter to the 92nd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As night falls over Circuit de la Sarthe, Ferrari has stormed into the lead with all three 499Ps running at the head of the Hypercar field.

In LMGT3, the #46 Team WRT BMW M4 continues to impress as Valentino Rossi, Ahmad Al Harthy, and Kelvin van der Linde hold the class lead, giving the fans even more reason to cheer. Meanwhile, the battle in LMP2 is being led by the #43 Inter Europol Competition Oreca, with Jakub Åšmiechowski, Tom Dillmann, and Nick Yelloly keeping the yellow-and-green machine at the front.
