[edit] Notes
- ^ a b Luigi Chinetti won Le Mans initially as an Italian, but later won as an American. His wins are included for both countries.
- ^ The 1994 victory by the Dauer 962LM is included in this list since the Dauer 962 was a modified Porsche 962, yet still run by the Porsche team.
- ^ The 1989 victory is listed with Mercedes-Benz as it was their project and engine, they merely used Sauber as a chassis builder.
