Le Mans, 30 May - This weekend’s eagerly awaited Le Mans 5 Hours endurance race heads to the Circuit de la Sarthe as Round 2 of the World Series and Round 3 of both the Japan Series and International Series. Across three splits, 68 cars will tackle the legendary 13.6 km track in jacket-themed Color Rise liveries—an homage to Hololive’s latest idol outfit (except DEV_IS class and EN Justice cars)—while the championship standings' outlook remains up in the air.
In Split A, Shiori Novella’s haze-shredding Haziq Yazid leads the pack (200 pts), trailed by Tsunomaki Watame/Mohamed Khashiu (175 pts) and Koseki Bijou/Mohd Shazren Redza (150 pts). All ten slots in the World Tsuyo Series are already provisionally claimed by the Top 10 in this Split A standing, but Le Manscould shuffle the pecking order before Motegi. Split B sees Hakos Baelz/Liam Kai topping the table on 200 pts, with Amane Kanata/Tyler Williams (175 pts) and Ayunda Risu/Aziz Muazif (150 pts) close behind. A tie-breaker battle for the final Tsuyo Cup berth is set between DEV_IS’ Ichijou Ririka's Shawn Goh and ER Bloodflame’s Evelyn Kuromi, in addition to EN Justice Gen-4's debut in Split B. Split C is led by Roboco/Callum Gibbens (200 pts) and Aki Rosenthal/Vladislav Domaschnev (175 pts); debuting FlowGlow teams will make their World Series bow here, too.
With Japan-class machines eligible for both Japan and World Series points, Split A’s top ten qualifiers are assured Tsuyo Cup spots. Callum Gibbens, Mohamed Khashiu, and Alticer Antanarau headline the standings, while every finisher from positions 1–11 will secure their place at Twin Ring Motegi. Split B sees Maverick Deuxieme and Ri Liu dueling for the lead with Jake Martinez not far behind.
EN and ID-class challengers contest a unified field with no Tsuyo/Zako split. Airani Iofifteen’s Dan Evans and Shiori Novella’s Haziq Yazid head the tables at 350 pts and 272 pts respectively, but Gawr Gura’s final outing under Grave Prower and Nanashi Mumei’s farewell car driven by Mathias Zacarias add poignant drama. After Le Mans, both Gura and Mumei liveries retire from HoloType competition.
With less than 24 hours before Split A comes to life at Le Mans, fans worldwide will witness not only a test of speed and strategy but also the closing chapter for two beloved Hololive icons—making this weekend a historic crossroads for ARO’s triple-series crown.
