- The 72nd 24 Hours of Le Mans (French: 72e 24 Heures du Mans) was a non-championship 24 hour automobile endurance race for Le Mans Prototype and Grand Touring cars held from 12 to 13 June at the Circuit de la Sarthe close to Le Mans, France. It was the 72nd edition of the 24 Hour race, as organised by the automotive group, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) since 1923. A test day was held eight weeks prior to the race on 25 April. Approximately 200,000 people attended the race. The Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx R8 of Jamie Davies, Johnny Herbert and Guy Smith started from pole position after Herbert set the overall fastest lap time in the fourth qualifying session. The car led for much of the first 18 hours until a rear suspension problem created handling difficulties and was corrected in the garage. It gave the lead to the Audi Sport Japan Team Goh car of Seiji Ara, Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen and although it caught fire during a pit stop, Ara held off the faster Herbert for the remainder of the race to win by 41.354 seconds. It was Ara's first Le Mans win, Capello's second and Kristensen's sixth. Kristensen equalled Jacky Ickx's all-time record of six overall victories and was the first driver to win the 24-hour race five times in a row. This was the fourth overall victory for Audi since its first in the 2000 edition. The Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx car finished in second and the Champion Racing trio of JJ Lehto, Emanuele Pirro and Marco Werner recovered from a crash in the second hour to complete the overall podium finishers in third place. The Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) category was won by the Intersport Racing Lola B2K/40 car of William Bennie, Clint Field and Rick Sutherland, eight laps ahead of the sole other finisher in the class, the Rachel Welter WR LM2001 vehicle of Yojiro Terada, Patrice Roussel and Olivier Porta. A Chevrolet Corvette C5-R driven by Olivier Beretta, Oliver Gavin and Jan Magnussen won the Le Mans Grand Touring Sport (LMGTS) class and the sister car of Ron Fellows, Max Papis and Johnny O'Connell was eleven laps behind in second place. Prodrive's Ferrari 550-GTS Maranello of Colin McRae, Rickard Rydell and Darren Turner completed the category podium in third position. Porsches took the first six places in the Le Mans Grand Touring (LMGT) category with the White Lighting Racing Porsche 911 GT3-RS of Jörg Bergmeister, Patrick Long and Sascha Maassen taking the class win for the second consecutive year.

- La 24 Ore di Le Mans 2004 è stata la 72ª maratona automobilistica svoltasi sul Circuit de la Sarthe di Le Mans, in Francia, il 12 e il 13 giugno 2004. Hanno gareggiato assieme 4 classi di automobili da competizione, ognuna delle quali ha avuto il suo vincitore. Le vetture più veloci, appartenenti alle classi LM-P1 e LM-P2, erano sportprototipi di categoria Le Mans Prototype appositamente progettati e costruiti per le gare, mentre le più lente classi GTS e GT comprendevano vetture derivate da automobili GT stradali. Con la fine della partecipazione della Bentley, non ci furono team ufficiali in questa edizione della 24 ore, lasciandola teoricamente aperta a chiunque. Comunque, le Audi R8 diedero prova della loro efficacia anche in mano a team privati, realizzando una tripletta. Ancora una volta, Tom Kristensen fu nella macchina vincitrice, più precisamente l'Audi del team giapponese Goh, realizzando il record di 5 vittorie di fila (dal 2000 al 2004 a cui aggiunge quella del 1997), appaiando Jacky Ickx con 6 vittorie totali.
