Which manufacturer has won the most Hypercar-era WEC races?

Toyota has won the most Hypercar-era WEC races, with 24 overall victories since the class arrived in 2021, counted up to the 2026 Barcelona round. Ferrari has 8 wins, Porsche 4, Alpine 3, BMW 2 and Cadillac 1.

Season by season

Toyota won all six races of 2021 with the GR010 Hybrid. In 2022 it won four of six, and Alpine took the other two with the A480, a non-hybrid car derived from an LMP1 design and admitted to the class for its first seasons.

The 2023 field grew, but Toyota still won six of seven races. Ferrari's only 2023 win was the 24 Hours of Le Mans, on the 499P's debut season.

In 2024 Porsche and Toyota won three of the eight races each and Ferrari two, including Le Mans.

2025 had the most different winners of any Hypercar season, five. Ferrari won four races, among them Le Mans with the customer No. 83 AF Corse car, and Alpine, Cadillac, Porsche and Toyota won one each.

In 2026 Toyota has 4 wins, BMW 2 and Ferrari 1 from the 7 races run so far. Who has won WEC races in 2026 lists them race by race.

LMH against LMDh

The two most successful manufacturers both race LMH cars, built entirely in house: Toyota with the GR010 Hybrid and its 2026 TR010 update, Ferrari with the 499P. Through the 2026 Fuji round, LMDh cars, which use a spec hybrid system on one of four approved chassis, had won eight races: four for the Porsche 963, two for the BMW M Hybrid V8, one for the Cadillac V-Series.R and one for the Alpine A424. Alpine's other two wins came with the A480 in 2022.

No LMDh car has won Le Mans yet. The Le Mans winners of the Hypercar era are all Toyotas and Ferraris.

Against the LMP1-Hybrid years

Toyota's Hypercar wins sit inside a larger all-time WEC total of 53 overall victories, which includes its LMP1-Hybrid seasons. Audi won 17 WEC races before leaving after 2016, and Porsche has 20 across the 919 Hybrid and the 963 in the races held in the archive. The archive does not yet include the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, which Porsche won.

What replaced LMP1 in the WEC?

The Hypercar class replaced LMP1 as the WEC's top class for the 2021 season. The change ran in two stages: the LMP1-Hybrid era closed at the end of the 2019-2020 super-season, the 2020 Le Mans was the last LMP1 race of the WEC, and the Hypercar regulations went live at the start of the 2021 WEC season. Hypercar is a hybrid-mandatory class with two platform types under one performance window: LMH (manufacturer-built end to end) and LMDh (manufacturer engine and bodywork on a spec LMP2 chassis).

Regulations

What is the difference between LMH and LMDh?

LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) and LMDh (Le Mans Daytona h) are the two platform types that share the top class of the WEC, the Hypercar class. LMH cars are designed from scratch by their manufacturer, including the chassis, hybrid system and engine. LMDh cars are built around one of four spec LMP2 chassis (Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic, Oreca) with a manufacturer-developed engine bolted on top of a single mandated spec hybrid kit. Both platforms race each other through a system called Equivalence of Technology, designed to make them lap at the same pace.
