FIA World Endurance Championship seasons

This is the first season of the World Endurance Championship without the LMP2 class, after it was dropped due to the increasing demand in the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes. The LMP2 class will still take part at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[1] The LMGT3 class was introduced to replace the GTE class that was dropped at the end of the 2023 season.[2] A maximum amount of 37 cars was set for the full-season grid.[1][3]

Manufacturers entering in the LMGT3 category will only be allowed to enter a maximum of two cars, to allow for a greater diversity in the LMGT3 category. Priority is given to manufacturers who have also entered a car in the Hypercar category.[4]

Calendar

edit

On 9 June 2023, during the 2023 Le Mans weekend, the calendar for the 2024 season was announced. It contains eight races, including two completely new races and two returning races. The 1000 Miles of Sebring, 6 Hours of Portimão, and 6 Hours of Monza races will not return in 2024, with Monza not being held due to the track being redeveloped.[5] The Imola event would later replace Monza as the Italian round on the schedule, while the series will make its first visit to Qatar to start the season, allowing hotter weather than Sebring. The 6 Hours of São Paulo, which was last visited by the WEC in 2014 alongside the Lone Star Le Mans round that was previously hosted in 2020 would also make their return to the calendar.

The prologue was originally scheduled to happen on 24 and 25 February but was delayed due to shipping issues.[6]

edit

Hypercar team changes
  • Following the 2023 season Glickenhaus Racing chose to withdraw due to financial reasons and Floyd Vanwall Racing had their application refused.[39][40]
    Alpine, BMW and Lamborghini (top) joined the Hypercar grid, as Glickenhaus and Vanwall (bottom) pulled out.
  • Revived luxury Italian manufacturer Isotta Fraschini joined with a single Michelotto-produced LMH in partnership with Duqueine.[14]
  • Hertz Team Jota entered an additional Porsche 963 following LMP2's removal from the series.[9]
  • Reigning LMP2 champions Team WRT joined Hypercar fielding two works BMW M Hybrid V8s, having previously been slated to run Audi's cancelled LMDh programme.[19] BMW's only previous entry into the FIA World Endurance Championship was in the GTE Pro category in 2018–19, while the Dallara-based M Hybrid V8, which debuted in the 2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship, marked BMW's return to top-class sportscar racing for the first time since winning the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans.[41]
  • Alpine returned to the top class with two new Oreca-based A424 cars operated by Signatech, following a transition season in LMP2 in 2023.[21]
  • As well as running the two factory Ferraris, AF Corse entered a private 499P as an additional third car.[28]
  • Lamborghini Squadra Corse developed its first racing prototype since the Group C era, a Ligier-based LMDh run by the Iron Lynx team.[30]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b Kvyat and Boguslavskiy are Russian, but they compete as neutral competitors as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  2. ^ Malykhin is Belarusian, but he competes under a Kittitian licence as Belarusian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  3. ^ Gounon did not fulfil his mandated minimum drive time at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, meaning that he did not receive points for that event.
