Following approval by the FIA World Motor Sport Council and announced during the traditional pre‑24 Hours of Le Mans press conference, the results of the FIA-launched tender for the chassis and engine suppliers of the next-generation LMP2 category, set to debut in 2028, have been revealed.
LMP2 will continue to be powered exclusively by Gibson Technology engines, now turbocharged to improve efficiency, while maintaining a single engine supplier to help keep costs under control.
The chassis, featuring safety upgrades, including a new central driving position, will come from one of the two approved constructors, Oreca or Ligier Automotive, providing the class with diversity in terms of aesthetics of the cars.
LMP2 continues to be a vital category in endurance racing, with full-season competition across the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series, and IMSA SportsCar Championship, as well as its traditional one-off appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
This next-generation package ensures LMP2 will remain a competitive, accessible, and safe platform for privateer teams and emerging talent in the evolving endurance racing landscape.
