Paddock Legends & Manthey on-site in Le Mans

09.06.2026

Le Mans is not just a race for us – it’s an experience you can truly touch and feel.

That’s why this year we are present on-site in Le Mans with two dedicated retail stands, and we are looking forward to meeting you in person.

There you will find exclusive Manthey merchandise highlights, the new T-shirt collections, as well as selected models and fan items from the current season.

At the heart of it all is our partnership with Manthey and the two cars #91 and #92, competing in a special anniversary livery celebrating 75 years of Porsche Motorsport and 30 years of Manthey Racing.

Le Mans is therefore not only a stage for pure endurance racing, but also a celebration of tradition, passion, and modern racing culture.

75 Years Porsche Motorsport & 30 Years Manthey Racing

For the 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Manthey together with Porsche Motorsport presents a very special highlight: two Porsche 911 GT3 R in an exclusive anniversary livery for the entry numbers 91 and 92.

The design celebrates two milestones – 75 years of Porsche Motorsport and 30 years of Manthey Racing – combining heritage, identity, and modern racing performance on the biggest stage of endurance racing.

A design with history

The livery of both cars deliberately draws inspiration from Porsche’s heritage. Influenced by the legendary Porsche 356 SL, which secured Porsche’s first class victory at Le Mans in 1951, the design bridges past and present.

The historic silver base is complemented by modern design elements from the current Manthey FIA WEC entries, including Manthey DK Engineering and The Bend Manthey.

The result is a livery that reflects both the roots and the current success era of Manthey in endurance racing.

Target: another major success in Le Mans

Manthey returns to Le Mans as the undefeated LMGT3 class winner since the category’s introduction, with a clear goal in mind:
a third consecutive LMGT3 class victory.

“Another special livery in our anniversary year: the reference to Porsche’s first class win at Le Mans represents the origin of a unique success story, while the elements of our current cars show that we are actively shaping this story today,” explains Patrick Arkenau, Director Racing at Manthey Racing.

Managing Director Nicolas Raeder adds:
“Le Mans has always been a central part of our history – from our first class win in 1999 to our current success in the LMGT3 category.”

The two cars will be driven by the following line-ups:

#91 Manthey DK Engineering
