Young driver record

Josh Pierson, driving the United Autosports Oreca 07 Gibson, will be 16 years and 117 days old when he is scheduled to compete at Le Mans, beating the previous record set by Matt McMurry in 2014 should he indeed make the grid.[2]

Automatic entries

Teams that won their class in the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans, or won championships in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS), Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS), and the Michelin Le Mans Cup (MLMC) earned automatic entry invitations. The second-place finishers in the 2021 ELMS in LMP2 and LMGTE championships each earned an automatic invitation. Two participants from the IMSA SportsCar Championship (WTSC) were chosen by the ACO to be automatic entries, regardless of their performance or category. Teams earning automatic entries in LMP2 were allowed to change their cars from the previous year but not their category. ELMS LMGTE and ALMS GT teams earning automatic entries were allowed to use them in either LMGTE-Pro or LMGTE-Am. The European and Asian LMP3 (Le Mans Prototype 3) champion was required to field an entry in LMP2. The Michelin Le Mans Cup Group GT3 (GT3) champion was limited to the LMGTE Am category.[3][4]
