Multiple manufacturers will be competing for victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours with hydrogen-fuelled prototypes by the end of the decade, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest has predicted.
The race organiser is confident that there will be significant take-up of the rules it is putting in place for the carbon-neutral fuel. According to club president Pierre Fillon, there will be at least one hydrogen prototype on the grid for the centrepiece round of the World Endurance Championship in 2028 and “two or three the year after, or maybe more”. “We have been working on hydrogen since 2018 and the interest from the manufacturers is real,” Fillon told Motorsport.com.
Alpine has yet to commit to a hydrogen race programme, but marque motorsport boss Bruno Famin hinted that it could be ready with a hydrogen challenger by 2027. “We hope it could be by 2027, but it doesn’t matter if it is ’26, ’27 or ’28,” he told Motorsport.com. “What matters is that the ACO supported by the FIA are really pushing to have hydrogen technology at Le Mans, and we are very happy with that.
