It is with great sadness that the Automobile Club de l’Ouest has learned of the death of Alan Jones, the Formula 1 World Champion who competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on two occasions.

Born on 2 November 1946 in Melbourne, Alan Jones passed away on Thursday 5 November 2026 at the age of 80. Crowned Formula 1 World Champion with Williams in 1980, Jones also made two appearances at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

His first came in 1984, at the wheel of a Kremer Racing Porsche 956, which he shared with Vern Schuppan and Jean-Pierre Jarier. His Le Mans debut was rewarded with sixth place overall. He returned to La Sarthe in 1987 with Toyota Team Tom’s, driving a Toyota 87C alongside Geoff Lees and Eje Elgh. The trio were forced to retire during the second hour of the race.

Alan Jones also competed in 116 Formula 1 Grands Prix between 1975 and 1986. The Australian was renowned for his outright speed, fighting spirit and fiercely competitive nature.

The Automobile Club de l’Ouest extends its deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

The Swiss driver joins the McLaren Hypercar team for the 95th 24 Hours of Le Mans.

In brief

 

<ul>
	<li>Grégoire Saucy (26) has a full-time seat with McLaren Hypercar for the 2027 WEC</li>
	<li>He has taken part in most of the MCL-HY tests and drove it at Goodwood with Lando Norris</li>
	<li>He won the 2026 European Le Mans Series with United Autosports: two victories and five podium places in six rounds</li>
	<li>McLaren Racing will be fielding a Hypercar at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2027.</li>
</ul>

 

Some positions don’t get advertised, they are earned lap after lap, and not necessarily in the limelight. Twenty-six-year-old Grégoire Saucy has proved himself worthy of his seat. The Swiss driver, fresh from his <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/elms-united-autosports-win-in-portugal-to-lift-2026-lmp2-title-61070">2026 European Le Mans Series</a> win, is officially a McLaren Hypercar driver for the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship. He joins <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/mclaren-racing-announces-its-first-hypercar-driver-60219">Mikkel Jensen</a>, <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/2027-24-hours-of-le-mans-alex-lynn-joins-mclaren-racing-61080">Alex Lynn</a>, and <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/leonardo-fornaroli-jumps-from-f2-to-the-24-hours-of-le-mans-with-mclaren-61059">Leonardo Fornaroli</a> on McLaren’s route to the summit of endurance racing. At the 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans next June (9–13), he will therefore be part of the crew in the cockpit of the <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/mclaren-mcl-hy-a-name-with-a-hint-of-promise-for-the-24-hours-of-le-mans-60533">McLaren MCL-HY</a>, whose name is a nod to the iconic Formula One GTR that won the race in 1995.

<h2>Who is Grégoire Saucy, the new addition to the McLaren Hypercar programme?</h2>

Grégoire Saucy was born in Switzerland 26 years ago. He began by making a name for himself in single-seater racing, winning eight rounds of the Formula Regional European Championship. Then came endurance racing, where he wasted no time. In 2024 and 2025, he took part in the FIA World Endurance Championship in LMGT3 at the wheel of a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo, and understandably caught the manufacturer’s eye. He joined the British make’s development programme early in 2026.

At McLaren, they sum up Saucy in three words: speed, adaptability and determination. A 24-hour race like Le Mans requires all three.

AVA_2624JT_AV5_8851.jpg

<h2>Well-deserved promotion</h2>

Grégoire Saucy is overjoyed: “When I joined the McLaren Hypercar Team for its development season, I hoped it might lead to a full-time race seat, but I knew there was a great deal of experienced talent in the driver market. I stayed focused, worked hard and adapted quickly to the MCL-HY.”

James Barclay, Team Principal of McLaren Hypercar Team, is satisfied: “Grégoire’s promotion is exactly what the McLaren Driver Development Programme is designed to achieve: identifying exceptional talent, supporting that development and creating a genuine pathway to a works race seat.”He adds: He has impressed us throughout the MCL-HY test programme with his pace, methodical approach within the team and his progress over the intensive testing schedule.”

The story began on 4 May, in Varano, Italy. McLaren was testing the MCL-HY for the first time. Grégoire Saucy and Mikkel Jensen were the drivers. From then on, Saucy was present at practically all the team’s tests. He also drove the Hypercar at its <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/the-mclaren-mcl-hy-s-public-debut-at-goodwood-60904">first public appearance at Goodwood Festival of Speed</a>, alongside 2025 Formula One World Champion, Lando Norris.

There are no prizes for test-driving. No chequered flag. No podium. The role requires consistency and precision. And working in the wings. Discretion makes all the difference.

<h2>Ready to take on the 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans </h2>

Le Mans is not new to McLaren. The make’s <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/24-hours-centenary-mclaren-an-f1-takes-on-le-mans-57424">F1 GTR</a> triumphed on first attempt in 1995 and hopes are high for the MCL-HY to do the same. In 2027, the Woking-designed Hypercar will join Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Ford, Genesis, Peugeot and Toyota in the field.

Nobody comes to Le Mans just for the ride. Grégoire Saucy begins the WEC season as a champion, with a desire to progress to the next stage. There is no question of resting on his laurels. He knows the French classic does not tolerate arrogance.

<h4>FAQ: The ins and outs of the McLaren MCL-HY</h4>

The <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/2025-24-hours-of-le-mans-mclaren-introduces-the-world-to-its-hypercar-59772">McLaren MCL-HY</a> is McLaren Racing’s Hypercar. It will compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2027.

What does MCL-HY stand for?

MCL stands for McLaren (in particular in Formula One). HY is a reference to Hypercar. Together, they spell commitment. The name is also a nod to the McLaren F1 GTR which triumphed at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans on first attempt.

What is the MCL-HY’s technical description?

The Dallara-built chassis is fitted with a twin-turbo V6 engine. The car is developed with the help of the United Autosports race team.

When did the MCL-HY first appear in public?

Its maiden outing was at Goodwood Festival of Speed, although the development programme was only in its tenth week at the time. Grégoire Saucy drove the car with Nando Norris, Formula One World Champion in 2025.

Who are the MCL-HY’s drivers?

The line-up so far is as follows: Mikkel Jensen, Laurens Vanthoor, Alex Lynn, Leonardo Fornaroli and Grégoire Saucy.

Who will the MCL-HY be up against in 2027?

In 2027, McLaren will join Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Ferrari, Ford, Genesis, Peugeot and Toyota in the exceptionally tough Hypercar field. 
The McLaren MCL-HY will take the start of the <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/tickets-go-on-sale-on-friday-6-november-for-next-year-s-24-hours-of-le-mans-61106">95th 24 Hours of Le Mans</a> on 12 June at 4 p.m.

Grégoire Saucy, the new addition to the McLaren Hypercar programme

Titles are on the line in Italy this weekend (6-8 November), as for one last time in 2026, FIA World Endurance Championship competitors prepare to engage in a high-speed, high-stakes battle for glory – by taming the legendary Autodromo Nazionale Monza.

Built more than a century ago in royal parkland just north of Milan, the world’s third-oldest purpose-built motor racing circuit – and oldest in mainland Europe – has a long association with the pinnacle of international endurance racing, stretching back over six decades and yielding victories for heroes of the sport such as John Surtees, Mario Andretti and Jacky Ickx.

Known as ‘The Temple of Speed’, the Autodromo has undergone several transformations over the years, with its current 5.793km, 11-turn layout and combination of long straights and tight chicanes prioritising aerodynamic efficiency, traction and braking stability.

FIA WEC visited Monza for three consecutive campaigns from 2021 to 2023. On the most recent of those occasions, 12 different models of car took to the track; in evidence of the world championship’s burgeoning momentum and growth, this weekend, there will be 17. 

On the driving front, 11 home heroes feature on the grid, while Italy becomes the first country to book-end the calendar and host the series at two different venues during a single season, as the action concludes in Europe for the first time since 2019. Although the Hypercar Manufacturers’ crown has already been clinched by Toyota, three other prestigious trophies are still up for grabs in the 6 Hours of Monza – setting the scene for a scintillating final showdown..

<h2>Internal duel for Hypercar Drivers’ honours</h2>

Toyota sewed up the Manufacturers’ spoils courtesy of a commanding one-two finish last time out in Spain, but there remains the matter of the Hypercar Drivers’ World Championship to decide, with the #8 crew of Barcelona winners Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryō Hirakawa in possession of a 17-point advantage over #7 stablemates Kamui Kobayashi, Mike Conway and Nyck de Vries. 

With just 26 points in play – 25 for victory plus one for pole position – the odds are clearly weighted in the #8 trio’s favour, as Buemi and Hartley, in their 50th FIA WEC appearance together, set their sights on a record-extending fifth title.

Alongside Hirakawa, the pair may have one hand on the coveted crown, but it is the #7 Toyota that boasts much the better résumé at Monza. Conway and Kobayashi formed part of the triumphant line-up in Italy in 2021 and 2023 – having begun both races from pole – and rounded out the rostrum in third place in 2022.

The Japanese star returns as the series’ qualifying lap record-holder at the track, while the Briton – with whom he is set to share a car for an unparalleled 75th time – will bid a fond farewell at the end of the race, as he hangs up his motorsport helmet. But will he do so with a third Drivers’ trophy in his baggage?

DPPIPRODUCTION_00005189_0571.jpg

Ominously for its adversaries, Toyota has won all eight FIA WEC season finales since 2017, but in front of its ever-ardent tifosi – with ticket sales hinting at a huge on-site crowd – Ferrari in particular will be eager to halt that streak this weekend, after suffering a narrow defeat to its Japanese rival in the curtain-raising contest at Imola. Not only is the Prancing Horse competing on home soil for the second time in 2026, it is also keen to conclude a challenging title defence on a high.

The Ferrari 499P was a podium-finisher on its maiden outing at the Autodromo in 2023, and five of the marque’s six Hypercar drivers – James Calado, Antonio Fuoco, Alessandro Pier Guidi, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen – have sprayed champagne there in GT categories in the past. Pier Guidi – on the cusp of his 70th FIA WEC start – holds the fastest GTE Pro lap around the circuit. 

BMW – sitting one spot further up the Manufacturers’ standings in second – is amongst six carmakers across both classes never to have previously competed at Monza in the championship, and the Bavarian brand is determined to arrest a disappointing recent run with a rostrum result. 

Elsewhere in the field, Alpine is aiming to sign off in style in its 80th and final FIA WEC event. Les Bleus’ emblematic #36 entry prevailed at the track in 2022 after finishing runner-up in 2021, with its valedictory appearance set to signal – somewhat appropriately – the marque’s 36th Hypercar race. French counterpart Peugeot, meanwhile, made its series debut at the Autodromo in 2022, with the 9X8 Hypercar reaching the podium there for the first time 12 months later.

<h2>Corvette chasing first LMGT3 title at happy hunting-ground</h2>

‘The Temple of Speed’ has been kind to Corvette in the past. A late Ferrari splash ‘n’ dash pit-stop with just two laps remaining in 2022 handed the American brand LMGTE Pro victory, before the #33 entry made history the following campaign by clinching the LMGTE Am crown with two rounds to spare – the earliest any FIA WEC title has ever been won. 

Current crew Nicky Catsburg and Ben Keating were part of that championship-winning line-up, with their #33 team-mate Jonny Edgar on the verge of solo LMGT3 Drivers’ glory this weekend, after the Dutchman and American missed part of the season earlier on. Keating is a former Monza pole-sitter, while TF Sport has started on the front row in-class for all three races to-date at the circuit – although with no car having triumphed from pole position in any category thus far this year, qualifying may not be the secret to success this weekend. 

Monza marks the 80th FIA WEC outing for Chevrolet, and there is an even more momentous milestone for closest rival, Porsche. Across all of its GT variants, the 911 will chalk up an unprecedented 500 entries in the series, and the German sportscar has consistently shone at the Autodromo. Indeed, the last time the championship visited, Porsche locked out the LMGTE Am podium.

Italy’s own Riccardo Pera placed third that day – replicating 2026 The Bend Manthey team-mate Richard Lietz’s LMGTE Pro rostrum finish from two years prior. The ultra-experienced Austrian recently became the first driver to achieve five LMGT3 victories, and at Monza, he will become the second driver to make 100 FIA WEC starts, after Buemi in Barcelona.

dppiproduction-00005192-0418-6ae9efd7c077d134836162.jpg

Launched in 2024, the production-based division will be making its Monza bow, and Porsche powerhouse Manthey has developed a habit of conquering circuits first time out. With an 18-point deficit to overturn to TF Sport and Edgar at the summit of the standings, Pera, Lietz and Yasser Shahin will need another big result in order to secure Manthey a third consecutive LMGT3 crown. Encouragingly for the trio, a Porsche sporting the same race number – #92 – prevailed in LMGTE Pro on its debut at the venue in 2021. 

Corvette has two irons in the fire with the #34 Racing Team Turkey by TF Z06 also still in the reckoning, while the fourth and final title contender, the #69 BMW, requires a perfect weekend and some serious bad luck to befall its adversaries if it is to spring a surprise and steal the spoils. Should that happen, it would represent the first time any competitor in any category has been crowned champion without scoring at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. 

<h2>Key Info</h2>

The on-track sessions will begin with free practice on Friday, 6 November. Qualifying – and the Hyperpole top ten shootout – starts at 14:20 CET (UTC +1) on Saturday, 7 November, with the six-hour race getting underway at 11:00 CET on Sunday, 8 November.

FIA WEC : High speeds and high stakes in Monza season finale

The 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans poster ventures into unknown artistic territory. BOLD House agency and photographer Mister Fifou let us in on the secrets behind the design.

In brief

<ul>
	<li>Graphic design agency BOLD House created the poster for the 95th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans (9–13 June 2027), round 5 of the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship.</li>
	<li>The focal point of the design is the heroic driver.</li>
	<li>The AI-free poster is the result of collaboration between the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), graphic design studio Bold House and photographer Mister Fifou.</li>
	<li>The race posters do much more than promote the annual event. They become collectors items – a lasting souvenir for fans.</li>
</ul>

<h2>How was the 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans poster designed?</h2>

Given the wealth of history behind the race, designing the 24 Hours of Le Mans poster is a challenge. For the 95th event, 9–13 June 2027, BOLD House elected to depart from traditional images of motorsport. The idea was to portray the driver as an iconic rock star thanks to photographer Mister Fifou’s music industry expertise. The creative process is in line with the race’s <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/the-24-hours-of-le-mans-reveals-a-new-brand-identity-60525">new branding</a> and echoes <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/check-out-the-newly-revamped-24-hours-of-le-mans-website-61068">the event website’s claim</a> to: “Put emotion first.”

<h2>Respecting and perpetuating our 100-year history</h2>

Before the design work began, our team set out to determine the message to be conveyed. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is not just another race. This event has been attracting motorsport fans for generations, producing tales of human endeavour, and contributing to the aura of the automobile that extends way beyond the circuit.

The heritage aspect was the first challenge met by BOLD House. Before they even started work, the agency first had to take onboard the weight of the race heritage.

Rather than use a tried and tested recipe, they set about finding a contemporary angle that would respect the event’s glorious history without tying it to the past. The brief was to represent the 2027 edition, and highlight the new 24 Hours of Le Mans branding. In short, be totally different without disowning race heritage.

<h2>driver or rock star?</h2>

BOLD House therefore sought inspiration beyond the realm of motorsport, drawing inspiration from record sleeves featuring Daft Punk and Michael Jackson.

Like race posters, album covers are often hung on walls for years.

In the scene created, the driver is not just the person at the wheel of a car. She or he is a star, the centre of attention. Just like a lead singer waiting before curtain up, this driver portrays the peculiar tension of the moment that precedes action.

BOLD House enlisted the help of Mister Fifou, a photographer widely acknowledged within the music industry. His expertise, in particular the lighting, contrast, and composition produces a cinematographic atmosphere.

Rock stars and racing drivers share staying power, a need for meticulous preparation, and moments of intense feeling. In both cases, an image can reflect the depth of emotion.

2027_24HA_REVEAL-AFFICHE_ARTICLE_FR.jpg

<h2>A mystery driver represents the 186 drivers in the race line-up</h2>

A lone driver takes centre stage on the 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans poster. However, the figure remains purposely unidentifiable.

The story of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is often told in terms of cars, makes and manufacturers. However, behind every machine, there are men and women who stand up to pressure, deal with uncertainty and fend off fatigue for a full 24 hours.

This year, BOLD House set out to pay tribute to drivers in the form of a universal icon.The figure embodies all the drivers, men and women, who have shared their destiny with Le Mans.

In masking the face, the helmet frees the imagination. Some will see their favourite, driver, past or present. Others might see themselves. 
The artistic approach is inclusive. The poster portrays any driver, and all drivers at once.

The intention was also to provoke a form of fascination. “You don’t know who is behind the visor, but you feel the magnitude of the moment. We set out to capture that moment, when a driver is about to take the wheel, or a star about to take the stage.” 
The poster translates that sensation without describing it literally. It doesn’t show the race. It incites the desire to experience it.

<h2>A 100% original, human-crafted creation</h2>

The poster was designed without the use of artificial intelligence, as specified by the new ACO brand book. BOLD House saw the constraint as an opportunity to human creativity and artwork.

The collaboration with Mister Fifou followed the same guidelines. Every detail was imagined and orchestrated by real people: the driver’s stance, the light, the contrasts and the composition. And every detail serves a purpose, contributes to the overall effect.

The complementarity between the BOLD House team’s creative vision on one hand and the photographer’s translation of that vision was a pivotal aspect of the project’s success.

12_2.17.1.jpg

<h2>A collector piece</h2>

Official 24 Hours of Le Mans posters have a much longer lifetime than the year of the race they promote. Many fans keep them as souvenirs for many years, or hang a framed copy on a wall.

BOLD House designed this year’s poster with that aspect in mind. The agency drew inspiration from vintage vinyl records, many of which are treasured like works of art and framed for posterity. 
24 Hours of Le Mans posters are no different. Many are displayed in living rooms, offices and garages all over the world, bearing witness to a style, or an era, and evoking happy memories.

“If this poster is still seen on walls twenty years from now, we’ll have succeeded in producing something that surpasses event promotion, say BOLD House.

And that is the crux of the matter here. The requirement is to promote an annual event destined to become a lasting memory. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is a real-life, in-the-moment experience, yet the aura surrounding it is a patchwork of the memories of those who have experienced it.

See you at the circuit from 9 to 13 June for the 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans! A new chapter is about to be written. And you can be part of it.

FAQ: The 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans Poster

Communiqué de presse

<h2>designed like a cult record sleeve</h2>

Designed like an album cover, the 2027 poster portrays the driver, alone, emerging from the darkness like a rock star entering the stage. The helmet, the light and the contrasts suggest a moment of intense concentration, just like a performer before the curtain goes up.  
 
24 Hours of Le Mans posters have featured a car or cars every year since 1975. So, it’s been over fifty years since the ACO has focused exclusively on the human aspect to promote the race. The driver is not identifiable, not portrayed as a member of a particular team. The figure embodies, all the drivers, men and women, who have shared their destiny with Le Mans.

For the third year running, the ACO entrusted BOLD House with the poster design and enlisted the music industry expertise of Mister Fifou for the photography. The poster is inspired by record sleeves and musicians such as Daft Punk and Michael Jackson. For the first time in the history of the race, the poster is the result of an actual photo shoot, and the photographer’s work, in particular the lighting, produces a cinematographic atmosphere. The design is in keeping with the ACO’s new branding, introduced this year.

No artificial intelligence was employed, as stipulated in the new brand guidelines. Every detail was imagined and orchestrated by real people: the driver’s stance, the light, the contrasts and the composition. 
 
A 24 Hours of Le Mans poster is part of a collection that spans decades. Some record sleeves are cult objects, hung on walls like a piece of art, years after the album release. The same is true of Le Mans race posters.

24 Hours of Le Mans 2027 - OFFICIAL TEASER

Here it is! The 95th 24 Hours of Le Mans poster!

For six-time 24 Hours winner Jacky Ickx (age 81), it is impossible to predict the race's next winner. When every single detail determines the outcome, a single lap can change the course of history.

Vidéo

Summary:

<ul>
	<li>Jacky Ickx claimed the top step on the podium at Le Mans six times between 1969 and 1982</li>
	<li>He believes winning the 24 Hours can come down to a single lap, possibly the final lap</li>
	<li>Success at Le Mans depends on precision, driver trio cohesion and the absence of errors</li>
	<li>He feels the organisers and spectators are the core of this legendary race</li>
</ul>

Nothing is decided before the chequered flag is waved at Le Mans. Six-time winner Jacky Ickx won the race following a decisive final lap in 1969 at the wheel of a <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/24-hours-centenary-the-american-benchmark-ford-gt40-57263" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ford GT40</a> shared with Jackie Oliver. Beginning with his rookie start in the 1966 24 Hours on to his successes with Porsche, the Belgian driver left an undeniable mark on the history of endurance racing. In the video below, he shares his perspective on a discipline that demands absolute precision, total trust between teammates and a shared determination.

<h2>Why winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans can come down to a single lap</h2>

Sometimes the gap between competitors widens as the hours pass at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Other times, everything is decided in the final moments as several cars battle for the win. Jacky Ickx: This victory is sometimes fought over within a single lap against 10 cars. Check out this full episode of the Drivers of Destiny series available on the <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4nVzON-waFFtiT6gRxZJOYcAWgsQqboS&amp;si=SXfXgxo5zok1V8_z" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">24 Hours of Le Mans YouTube channel</a>.

The Belgian driver is crystal clear: despite the length of the race, the outcome remains uncertain right to the very end as it is impossible to single out any contender as a sure thing. With numerous constructors capable of winning and driver line-ups consisting of three top-tier pilots, even the smallest detail makes a massive difference.

That is the true magic of Le Mans. The race can turn on its head in a matter of minutes. And when the cars are neck and neck, every corner, overtaking and decision takes on a whole new significance.

To illustrate the rigor of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ickx invokes an unexpected image. Ickx: Everything must be perfect. You cannot afford a single wrong note. Because a wrong note has the same impact as one in a philharmonic orchestra. If you hit a wrong note, the concert is ruined. The only problem is there is only one winner and it takes a massive effort to reach that level.

<h2>From 1966 to present day, Jacky Ickx refuses to compare different eras</h2>

Ickx took his rookie start in the 24 Hours in 1966 as the duel between Ford and Ferrari was in full swing. Ickx: When I came here in 1966, I was just happy to be here. And if I had been offered to win just once, I would have gladly accepted, and I think that’s still true today. He has won the iconic race a staggering six times: in 1969, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1981 and 1982, making him one of the key figures in its legacy.

Ickx: My style isn’t to live in the past, even if I reap the rewards today. Only the present counts. It means not being tempted to compare an era that was mine with today’s. They have nothing in common, that’s a deep mistake.

<h2>320,000 spectators: the beating heart of the 24 Hours of Le Mans</h2>

Ickx feels the legend of Le Mans does not rest solely on the cars, teams and drivers. It belongs as much if not more to the spectators who come to experience the magic. Ickx: This shared passion that I love so much also belongs to the organisation. To achieve 100 years of racing over time, it’s because people stepped up to organise out of love for racing, and passed the torch year after year and decade after decade to build this extraordinary monument that is the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The legend of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is a collective endeavor belonging to the drivers who fuel it, the teams that make it possible and everyone who comes to live it.

Enjoy the fifth and final episode of the Drivers of Destiny series spotlighting Jacky Ickx, and learn more about how the fate of competitors at the 24 Hours of Le Mans often hinges on the smallest details.

DRIVERS OF DESTINY - JACKY ICKX

<h4>FAQ – Jacky Ickx at the 24 Hours of Le Mans</h4>

How many times has Ickx won the 24 Hours of Le Mans?

He won the race six times: in 1969, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1981 and 1982. He took the start 17 times from 1966 to 1985.

When did Ickx first win the 24 Hours of Le Mans?

He scored his first victory in 1969 with British driver Jackie Oliver at the wheel of a Ford GT40. After taking off dead last in protest of the running start, he ended up winning the race in the last lap against the Porsche 908 driven by Hans Herrmann and Gérard Larrousse.

Why does Ickx feel he should not have won the 1977 24 Hours of Le Mans?

He won the 1977 running of the race following an unprecedented turn of events. After the engine failed in the #3 Porsche 936 he was sharing with Henri Pescarolo, he took the wheel of the #4 Porsche 936 of Jürgen Barth and Hurley Haywood for which he had been registered as a reserve driver.

During the night, he broke the lap record previously set by François Cevert in 1973 on three separate occasions. By dawn, the Porsche had moved into second place before taking the lead in the wake of the retirement of the Renault-Alpine driven by Jean-Pierre Jabouille and Derek Bell. Despite an engine running on only five cylinders, the #4 936 reached the top step on the podium.

Ickx: It was, by all accounts, a lost cause. I shouldn’t have won that year. He describes that particular win as a magical moment during which the entire team managed to turn certain defeat into triumph.

What is the link between Ickx and Genesis?

Ickx has served since February 2024 as an ambassador for Genesis, the premium line of the Hyundai Group. The six-time Le Mans winner holds a threefold role: advisor, ambassador and marque representative. In particular, he contributes his motorsport experience to the Genesis Magma Racing programme as it competes in the Hypercar class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship (WEC).

Jacky Ickx: "Victory is sometimes fought over within a single lap [at Le Mans]"

Alex Quinn has shifted up a gear. The winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona, LMP2 Pro/Am at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in LMP2 is now a Team Peugeot TotalEnergies factory driver. As the last FIA WEC round looms large, he evokes pressure, the Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar and its new EVO version, the farm he manages when he’s not at the wheel, and his goal for 2027.

Interview

This season has been outstanding. Victory at Daytona, a class win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship LMP2 title. Looking back, how would you sum it up?

“It was pretty perfect. A lot of hard work, but once we got the ball rolling, we hit the ground running with the win at Daytona. The year just flew by as a blur. Every race went well. And as I said, once we got the ball rolling, it was easier, because we knew what to do and how to do it, where to focus on. We learnt from each other as teammates. The results confirm it: special wins, big races, and then the championship to top it off. Perfect!”

What did you learn most as a driver this season, and why?

“The pressure side of it was a big thing. I would say, on the driving side, I used what I’ve learned in the past, and that all came together and worked really well. But being in the fight for the championship for the whole season, being close the whole way, was good experience. And we won two big races. Both times, in the last three-quarters of the race, we were under pressure and had to make no mistakes. That side of it was a big learning curve. I think I handled it quite well. I mean, the results speak for themselves.”

How do you manage that kind of pressure?

“Hmm, I don’t know, to be honest. You just keep going. Family have been really important this year. Just trying to keep normality. Especially the last half of the year. It’s been so busy, going from one race to the next. Just having a bit of normality, switching off... It might sound silly, but even during race weekends, not getting too hooked up on it - and therefore too worried about it - was quite important, especially during long periods [of intense competition]. So, I don’t know exactly how I manage pressure, but family are important.”

What role did you play in the development of the Peugeot 9X8 this year? Can you give us an example of a technical contribution?

“I did a couple of tests. I came in with limited experience on how these cars should feel and what they feel like initially, but I used what I know from other classes. You know, it’s still a race car. Knowing what to look for in certain areas and get better lap times by improving a certain aspect of the car. It’s quite important to me, focusing on the important areas. Balance-wise, and any detailed feedback on what I felt, was useful. I’m not an engineer. I don’t know exactly what this car needs to go fast, but if I can give the engineer exactly what I feel, that helps them make a decision. So that’s exactly what I had to do, and I’ve been trying to do more and more.”

DPPIPRODUCTION_00005156_0156.jpg

What are your expectations for 2027, and where would you like to see better results, or see progress?

“No expectations, which is really quite nice, coming into a new team for me, and a new championship as well. I just want to perform as best I can. In terms of results, again no expectations, but hopefully an improvement, and improving throughout the year as well. The new EVO is going to be new to us all and we’ll be trying to learn from that as we go and take it step by step. So, no expectations, just see where we are and keep improving from there. That’s the most important thing.”

How has your perception of the 9X8 changed since the first test in Bahrain in 2025 and your most recent tests?

“I’m a lot more used to it, I guess. A bit less star struck. Initially, I just felt the car was extremely quick in a straight, which is what I had to learn. And then as I adapted to that, and got more comfortable with it, I could then push it in other areas and trust the car. I think that’s a big thing actually, trusting the car. Because they are difficult to drive. So as I got more comfortable with it, I could use it as it should be.”

How are you gearing up for 2027 now that you’re an official factory driver?

“Well I’m very lucky that I’ve got these last two races to get embedded in the team properly, and learn a bit about the championship. So I’ll be using these weekends as much as I can. And then, hopefully a little break because it’s been very intense. But then straight into it. I’m sure we’ll be doing simulator sessions. Then, understanding what we want to achieve, and how we want to achieve it in the early part of next year. So, I’m looking forward to it. That’s the main thing.”

You’ll be in a position to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright next year. How do you feel about that?

“Yes, that would be a dream come true. We won the LMP2 Pro-Am class this year. An overall win is the next step. Again, coming into it with no expectations, but that’s what we want to aim for. That would be amazing, and that’s what we’ll be striving for.”

24 Hours of Le Mans fans may not know that you run a farm alongside your racing career. On a race track, your goal is to be the fastest. On the farm, nature sets the pace. Which requires the most patience and how do you apply what you’ve learned in one, to the other?

“Farming definitely requires the most patience... in certain areas. But I would say - and I often say this - the biggest lesson from the farm that I would take to the racing environment is the hard-working aspect. It’s a very tough job, and you need a lot of determination in endurance, so each job reflects the other. That’s what I feel.”

Alex Quinn (Team Peugeot TotalEnergies): “A dream come true”

Cetilar Racing has unveiled the livery of the Ferrari 499P it will enter in the 2026/2027 Asian Le Mans Series.

In brief:

<ul>
	<li>Cetilar Racing will enter a <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/24-hours-of-le-mans-ferrari-unveils-the-499p-hypercar-56769" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ferrari 499P Hypercar</a> in the 2026/2027 Asian Le Mans Series, the first season to feature Hypercars.</li>
	<li>Cetilar Racing's Hypercar sports an electric blue and fluorescent green livery inspired by the Italian team's historic colours.</li>
	<li>Roberto Lacorte, Nicola Lacorte and Antonio Fuoco will share the Ferrari 499P, entered with technical support from AF Corse.</li>
	<li>The 2026/2027 Asian Le Mans Series season will get underway on 14 November with the 4 Hours of Le Castellet. The season comprises six four-hour races.</li>
</ul>

The 2026/2027 Asian Le Mans Series season marks the arrival of Hypercars in the championship. Cetilar Racing will enter the #47 Ferrari 499P with technical support from AF Corse. The Italian team, which has made five appearances at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has chosen an electric blue and fluorescent green livery for its Hypercar. It will be driven by Roberto Lacorte, his son Nicola Lacorte and Ferrari factory driver Antonio Fuoco.

<h2>Why is Cetilar Racing's Ferrari 499P blue?</h2>

Cetilar Racing's Ferrari 499P proudly carries the #47, a number closely associated with the team. Its livery is dominated by electric blue with fluorescent green stripes. The colour scheme reflects Cetilar Racing's historic colours at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the various championships the team has contested over the years. 
The livery gives the Ferrari 499P the unmistakable identity of a team that continues to grow and take on new challenges on the international endurance racing stage.

The unveiling of the livery marks the beginning of Cetilar Racing's Hypercar chapter in the Asian Le Mans Series. “Seeing this magnificent Ferrari 499P up close in our colours is incredibly emotional and difficult to put into words,” explains Roberto Lacorte. “We are taking on a demanding yet extremely exciting challenge for Cetilar® Racing. This is a new chapter, perhaps the most important one yet, for an organisation that has written some major pages in the history of international endurance racing over the past ten years. The 499P is an iconic car, an extraordinary machine that I will have the pleasure of sharing with a world-class driver like Antonio Fuoco, as well as with my son Nicola. It is a dream come true. I can't wait to take to the track at Paul Ricard in two weeks' time and get this adventure underway.”

<h2>An all-Italian challenge in the Asian Le Mans Series</h2>

The #47 Ferrari 499P will be entrusted to three Italian drivers: Roberto Lacorte, his son Nicola Lacorte and Ferrari factory driver Antonio Fuoco.

For Nicola Lacorte, this new adventure also has a personal dimension, given his own journey alongside the team: “For Cetilar Racing, this is the achievement of a goal, the culmination of a remarkable climb. From the entry-level categories, we have reached the pinnacle of endurance racing and even motorsport as a whole. I think that means a great deal for the entire project. To be part of this team at this particular moment in Cetilar Racing's history is very special. I watched the team grow from the sidelines, and today I find myself alongside its members, playing a leading role behind the wheel.”

Antonio Fuoco, who has been working with Cetilar Racing since 2021, also emphasises the significance of this latest step together: “I began my journey with this team in 2021. Since then, we have grown together, worked on many projects and competed in several championships. But I think that, for all of us, this is something of a dream come true. The Ferrari 499P is a car that has made motorsport history. Having the opportunity to drive it is an exceptional opportunity for each and every one of us.”
