In 1992:

- Yannick Dalmas scored his first victory at the 24 Hours. He went on to become the most prolific driver of the 1990s at Le Mans: three other wins in 1994, 1995 and 1999 helped him join Henri Pescarolo as the winningest French driver in the history of the 24 Hours.

- Dalmas' two British teammates Derek Warwick and Mark Blundell won their sole Le Mans victory.

- The two Peugeot 905s crossed the finish line. Pole sitters at the wheel of the second car, Jean-Pierre Jabouille, Philippe Alliot and Mauro Baldi reached the third step on the podium.

- Thanks to the second place finish of Masanori Sekiya, Kenny Acheson and Pierre-Henri Raphanel, Toyota claimed its first podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

- Five Japanese prototypes finished in the top 10: four Toyotas (second, fifth, eighth and ninth) and one Mazda (fourth).

- Three years later, in 1995, Masanori Sekiya became the first Japanese driver to win at the 24 Hours, along with Finnish driver J.J. Lehto and Yannick Dalmas.

- Just one year after helping Mazda become the first Japanese manufacturer to win at Le Mans, Bertrand Gachot, Volker Weidler and Johnny Herbert remained loyal to the Japanese marque in 1992 and finished fourth after having led the race early on in the rain.

- In addition to the first of the drivers of the winning Peugeot 905, 12 other previous and future winners made it to the checkered flag at the 60th edition of the 24 Hours. In the order of their finishes in 1992: Masanori Sekiya (1995), Mauro Baldi (1994), Bertrand Gachot (1991), Johnny Herbert (1991), Volker Weidler (1991), Stefan Johansson (1997), Henri Pescarolo (1972, 1973, 1974, 1984), John Nielsen (1990), Manuel Reuter (1989, 1996), Andy Wallace (1988), Jan Lammers (1988) and Derek Bell (1975, 1981, 1982, 1986, 1987).

- For his 22nd start, British driver and five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell joined forces with his son Justin. They finished 12th along with their fellow countryman Tiff Needell. In 1995, together, father and son claimed the third step on the podium, that time with Andy Wallace.

- Besides Peugeot, another French constructor crossed the finish line at the 1992 24 Hours of Le Mans: the Cougar-Porsche driven by Jean-Louis Ricci, Bob Wollek and Henri Pescarolo, finishing in sixth place.
