Nick Boulle successfully completed the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours and rose through the field following a steady qualifying to finish 5th in the ultra-competitive LMP2 category in the 93rd edition of the storied race, which began 102 years ago.
As part of the prize for winning last year’s IMSA Driver’s and Team Championship – de Boulle Motorsports received the “Truman Award.” This award granted Nick Boulle a “golden ticket” entry to the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours in the LMP2 class with Inter Europol Competition. Boulle was joined by team regular Luca Ghiotto and newcomer to the team, Le Mans local, Jean-Baptiste Simmenauer. With the 93rd running of the 24-hour race, #34 raced against 62 cars, including 15 LMP2 rivals.
This marked Boulle’s third time competing at the world’s most iconic motorsport event. Boulle previously raced alongside David Cheng and Pierre Nicolet where they placed 7th place in LMP2.
After a puncture in qualifying left them starting from P16, the #34 crew faced a challenging road ahead.
Ghiotto took the opening stint and put in a standout performance, working his way up the field and handing over the car in P5— a remarkable progress through the field that set the tone for the rest of the race.
In his first laps at Le Mans Boulle took over and delivered a composed, mistake-free stint, keeping the car in contention within the top ten. As darkness fell, Simmenauer stepped in and maintained a steady rhythm through the night, contributing to one of the team’s most consistent phases of the race.
Back-to-back clean stints from all three drivers kept the #34 in a strong position heading into the morning hours.
Luca returned to the cockpit as dawn broke running in P7 overall and P2 in LMP2 Pro/Am, the team was well-placed for a class podium heading into the final hours.
In the final stint, a pit lane speeding penalty dashed hopes of a Pro/Am podium, with the #34 ultimately finishing P5 in class and 10th overall after a strong fightback.

“Racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Inter Europol Competition was a dream come true in many respects. We had a great car, and the team performed really well. Luca was super fast when the race came around — after the mishap in practice, he rebounded so strongly and didn’t put a foot wrong. No mistakes! And JB got in and did a great job as well.”
“That said, after a long week like this, it’s hard not to look back and want more. We ran second for most of the race in Pro/Am, and a podium really looked possible — but we just didn’t have quite enough for the top step this time. Le Mans is such a special place, and I really hope I get the chance to come back and fight again one day.”
