Multiple IMSA GTP teams are preparing bids to compete in the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours, potentially expanding the Hypercar field significantly.

Porsche's presence could grow to five 963s, including Porsche Penske Motorsport's third factory car (earned through their 2024 IMSA GTP title) and an additional entry from Proton Competition.

Cadillac might field four V-Series.Rs:

  • Two cars from Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA (confirmed FIA WEC entries)
  • One car from Wayne Taylor Racing (first-time Le Mans entry)
  • One car from Action Express Racing (third consecutive appearance)

Action Express Racing plans to bring two cars to France - one for competition and a spare - with the backup returning immediately to the US for the Watkins Glen race.

In the LMGT3 category, Corvette will be represented by:

  • TF Sport through their WEC program
  • AWA Racing, following Orey Fidani's Bob Akin Award win
  • AWA will use a second chassis and collaborate with TF Sport for tools and equipment

These entries mark a significant expansion of American presence at the prestigious endurance race, with teams making substantial logistical preparations to manage both Le Mans and their IMSA commitments.
