The200024 Hours of Le Mans was the 68th Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on 17 and 18 June 2000.

After the 1999 race, most of the manufacturers in the top classes went in different directions.BMW andToyota went intoFormula One, whileMercedes-Benz left sportscar racing after theCLR accidents, returning to theDTM.Nissan also left due to financial difficulties.

Other than the French privateers Pescarolo, Oreca and DAMS, onlyAudi andPanoz remained from the previous year, while newcomerCadillac joined.

Approximately 200,000 people attended the race.^[1] The 1-2-3 finish of the Audi LMP900s marked the beginning of two dynasties, Audi's and Tom Kristensen's in the top-finishing Audi.^[2]

The Oreca team's GTS class winning, seventh place overall, 333 lap finish with the Chrysler Viper was the best ever with that car. It faced serious competition within its class from Corvette Racing's new C5.R.,^[3] which would within the next two years top the Viper's distance record and establish itself as the car to beat among the GT classes.

Class winners are denoted inbold.^[4][5]
