It’s one of the most wide open Le Mans in recent years, and we don’t know how the ACO has sized everyone up, welcome to our Le Mans 24 Hours Preview for 2026 with Dre Harrison hosting alongside Daily Sportscar’s own RJ O’Connell.

It’s a comprehensive nearly 100 minute preview featuring chat about the LMGT3 class, and who could take glory there, as well as a lengthy reaction to the ACO now banning public discourse about the Balance of Performance rules that dictate manufacteurs in the series. Will BMW and Corvette fight again? Can Ferrari give Dre a rare class win in the prediction stakes as Lilou Wadoux attempts to make history?

How about the stacked LMP2 class, with Doriane Pin heading back to Le Mans after F1 Academy success? Where will Porsche factory drivers Kevin Estre and Julien Andlauer end up? And will Inter Europol and Panis Racing collide again?

And finally, a comprehensive look at every factory runner in the field’s Hypercar class as 18 cars battle for win, as Alpine says goodbye, we say hello to Genesis and ponder whether this is the last attempt of the era for Toyota Racing’s core. Is Ferrari playing the sandbag game again?
