The Le Mans 24 Hours qualifying format will be revamped in 2025, event organiser the Automobile Club de l’Ouest has announced.
Entrants in the top Hypercar class will be split from the LMP2 and LMGT3 categories in the session that determines the cars that will reach the Hyperpole shootout.
Previously all cars qualified at once in a one-hour session, but now there will be two 30-minute sessions with the fastest 15 Hypercars and fastest 12 from LMP2 and LMGT3 progressing.
As before, qualifying will take place on Wednesday, with Hyperpole slated for the following day.

There will also be distinct Hyperpole sessions, with LMP2 and LMGT3 again separated from Hypercar, while each Hyperpole session will have two phases, to be called H1 and H2.
Four cars will be eliminated from LMP2 and LMGT3 in the 20-minute H1 session with the top eight cars in each class fighting for pole during a 15-minute session.
Meanwhile five Hypercar entries will be knocked out in H1, leaving 10 to go for pole in H2 with sessions of the same duration.
