The First one is LMH where the competing cars have to be specifically manufactured under the Le Mans hypercar technical regulations. These are claimed to have plenty of space for creativity and allow front axle hybrid systems.

The second one is LMDh, where Porsche will compete. As per FIA rules, in this LMDh segment, entrants can purchase the race car's chassis from an approved list of suppliers including Dallara, Multimatic, Ligier or Oreca. The sponsor teams provide critical components such as the internal combustion engine, body, hybrid system in order to help the competition teams to keep down costs, while still developing the drivetrain and aerodynamic technology.
