2023 24 Hours of Le Mans

Teams which won championships in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS), Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS) and the Michelin Le Mans Cup (MLMC), received automatic entry invitations. The second-place finishers in the 2022 ELMS in LMP2 and LMGTE championships also received an automatic invitation. Three participants from the IMSA SportsCar Championship (WTSC) were chosen by the ACO as automatic entries, regardless of performance or category. Teams earning automatic entries in LMP2 were allowed to change their cars from the previous year. ELMS LMGTE and ALMS GT teams earning automatic entries were allowed to use them in LMGTE Am only. The European and Asian LMP3 (Le Mans Prototype 3) champion was required to field an entry in LMP2, and the Michelin Le Mans Cup Group GT3 (GT3) champion was limited to the LMGTE Am category.

On March 17, 2022, NASCAR and Hendrick Motorsports announced they will field a Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 as a Garage 56 entry, the first since 2021, marking NASCAR's first presence at Le Mans since 1976 when a Dodge Charger and Ford Torino competed.[25][26][27]

Numerous modifications were made to a Cup Series model, including a larger fuel cell and spoiler, canards and dive planes resulting in a weight loss of 525 lbs compared to the Cup Series car.

On January 28, 2023, on the weekend of the 24 Hours of Daytona, the three drivers for the Garage 56 entry were announced to be 2009 Formula One champion Jenson Button, seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson and 2010 Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller.[28]
