At the 2024 edition of Petit Le Mans, 26 championship titles will be decided.
Here's every season-long competition which will conclude at IMSA's 10-hour season finale, and all of the players who still have a shot at a title.
WEATHERTECH SPORTSCAR CHAMPIONSHIP
Points are awarded at the Race Finish: 350 - 320 - 300 - 280 - 260 - 250 - 240 - 230 - 220 - 210 - 200 - 190 - 180 - 170 - 160 - 150 - 140 - 130 - 120 - 110 - 100 - 90 - 80 - 70 - 60 - 50 - 40 - 30 - 20 to the Top 29 in class. 10 points to all other starters
Points are awarded in Qualifying at a 10% scale. This means the maximum score in one round is 385.
GTP DRIVERS
1 Dane Cameron/Felipe Nasr - 2650
2 Mathieu Jaminet/Nick Tandy - 2526
3 Sebastien Bourdais/Renger Van Der Zande - 2486
4 Jack Aitken/Pipo Derani - 2392
5 Louis Deletraz/Jordan Taylor - 2339
6 Filipe Albuquerque/Ricky Taylor - 2304
Six crews enter the event with a shot at the title, but as long as the #7 Porsche starts the race this is reduced to just three. A Top 4 finish will give Cameron and Nasr the title no matter what.
GTP TEAMS
7 Porsche Penske Motorsport - 2650
6 Porsche Penske Motorsport - 2526
01 Cadillac Racing - 2486
31 Whelen Cadillac Racing - 2392

10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti - 2304
The permutations are the same as for GTP Drivers.
GTP MANUFACTURERS
1 Porsche - 2905
2 Cadillac - 2781
3 Acura - 2748
4 BMW - 2566
As long as one of the four Porsche 963s sets a qualifying time and starts the race, the German marque will be champions.
LMP2 DRIVERS
1 Nick Boulle/Tom Dillmann - 1919
2 Felipe Fraga/Gar Robinson - 1821
3 Ryan Dalziel - 1796
4 Steven Thomas - 1722

6 PJ Hyett - 1672
7 Daniel Goldburg - 1638
8 Luis Perez Companc - 1587
9 John Farano - 1552
As long as Boulle and Dillmann start, nine potential champions will be reduced to three. A podium finish will guarantee them the title.
LMP2 TEAMS
52 Inter Europol by PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports - 1919
74 Riley - 1821
18 Era Motorsport - 1796
11 TDS Racing - 1722

As in GTP, the Drivers' and Teams' championships have the same scenarios.
GTD PRO DRIVERS
1 Laurin Heinrich - 2887
2 Ross Gunn - 2788
3 Bryan Sellers/Madison Snow - 2668
4 Ben Barnicoat/Jack Hawksworth - 2659
5 Antonio Garcia/Alexander Sims - 2646
6 Mike Rockenfeller/Harry Tincknell - 2528
If Heinrich takes the Green Flag, GTD PRO will be reduced to a duel between Heinrich and Gunn. A podium finish will give Heinrich the title.

1 Paul Miller Racing - 2668
14 VasserSullivan - 2659

2 Aston Martin - 2828
3 Chevrolet - 2761
4 Lexus - 2730
5 Ford - 2681
6 McLaren - 2567
If AO Racing start, only Aston Martin, represented by a pair of cars from Heart of Racing Team, can deny Porsche the title. A Top 4 is all Porsche need.
In the Manufacturers championship, points are allocated based on the order of each manufacturer's highest finishing car. If Aston Martin finish 1-2, and Porsche third, then Porsche would be given second-place points. The same applies in the IMEC.
GTD DRIVERS
1 Philip Ellis/Russell Ward - 3006
2 Robby Foley/Patrick Gallagher - 2784
Ellis and Ward only need to finish 14th or better to seal the title.

8 Philipp Eng/Jesse Krohn - 25
9 Matt Campbell - 23
10 Filipe Albuquerque/Ricky Taylor - 22

01 Cadillac Racing - 33
31 Whelen Cadillac Racing - 32

GTP MANUFACTURERS

2 Cadillac - 42
3 Acura - 33
4 BMW - 32
If any of the four Porsche's start, only Cadillac can deny them the title. A Porsche in the Top Two at each of the scoring intervals would guarantee them the title.
LMP2 DRIVERS

2 Nick Boulle/Tom Dillmann/Jakub Smiechowski - 35
3 Ryan Dalziel/Dwight Merriman/Connor Zilisch - 33

11 Lilou Wadoux Ducellier - 23
12 Matt Brabham/Paul-Loup Chatin/PJ Hyett - 22
13 Michael Dinan/John Farano - 22
If either the #11 or #52 start, it's a five-way fight in LMP2.
LMP2 TEAMS
11 TDS Racing - 35
52 Inter Europol by PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports - 35
18 Era Motorsport - 33
04 Crowdstrike Racing by APR - 28 (Absent)

20 MDK by High Class Racing - 25
2 United Autosports USA - 24
99 AO Racing - 22
8 Tower Motorsports - 22
Every LMP2 entry still has a mathematical shot at the title. 22 points is the minimum a team could've earned if they started the four previous IMEC rounds.
GTD PRO DRIVERS
1 Bryan Sellers/Madison Snow/Neil Verhagen - 37
2 Laurin Heinrich - 32
3 Daniel Serra/Davide Rigon - 32

10 Oliver Jarvis/Marvin Kirchhoefer - 25
11 James Calado - 24
12 Seb Priaulx - 23 (Absent)
Gunn/Riberas will fall out of mathematical contention if the Sellers/Snow/Verhagen start the race, meaning they can focus fully on the main championship without the temptation to compromise their strategy for IMEC points. Finishing in the Top 2 at every points-scoring mark will give Sellers/Snow/Verhagen the title.
GTD PRO TEAMS
1 Paul Miller Racing - 37
77 AO Racing - 32
62 Risi Competizione - 32
64 Ford Multimatic Motorsports - 30

23 Heart of Racing Team - 25
9 Pfaff Motorsports - 24

2 Porsche - 32
3 Ford - 30
4 Lexus - 25
5 Aston Martin - 25
6 McLaren - 24
