On 21 March, the Le Mans entry list for 2019 was revealed for the 24-hour race which is to be held on 15-16 June.

2019 Grand Marshal to be Hurley Haywood
Seasoned endurance racing veteran, Hurley Haywood, has agreed to serve as Grand Marshal at the 2019 Super Season finale. The American driver, born on 4 May 1948, has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times (1977 – Porsche 936/77, 1983 – Porsche 956 and 1994 – Porsche Dauer 962 Le Mans), and he was also on the podium in 1978 and 1982. Haywood has also won the Rolex 24 at Daytona five times and the 12 Hours of Sebring twice, so the 2019 field will be in safe hands. Among his other duties, the Grand Marshal will also set the pace during the formation lap before the start of the race.
