One gripe. The 2 car rule is only for manufacturers not teams. If teams were needing to run 2 cars a peice we’d double up Protons 963 as well which there is no space for. Lamborghini and Isotta can sell a second car to teams like Prema and Vector sport to meet that minimum 2 car per OEM requirement which already exists in LMGT3

Yeah i have to agree, I don't like the sound of that. I feel like it narrows the possibilities of different customer teams in future. Perhaps that is the point? If the costs were just about reachable running a single Hyper car, this will certainly make it more taxing with a 2 car effort and thus less desirable. One cannot simply "just have a go at it" one year at the top class but fully invest into WEC for that year. Sounds very F1 style, which to be fair is a format that has survived to this day, so no reason why it cant for WEC where race victories are more achievable for "new" teams compared to F1.

I feel like the only thing they should do at least two more races like Silverstone and any other track they want

They want to but they thinking about Team Logistics and Budget (probably because back then Some Manufacture have to skip certain event because of their budget). And about Silverstone, WEC itself want to Silverstone join to 2025 Season (but maybe because of team budget thing, they have delayed that).

There are enough Hypercars to race at Monaco, maybe for 2 or 3 hours at max.

"LMP2 is still a popular category"?? To whom - to the entrants, no doubt. But to spectators? Endurance has to be a challenge between manufacturers, not a promotion single type category.

As regular fan who has been to 15 WEC races until now, yes the LMP2s are still awesome. Just a shame it's all Oreca but the sound is still awesome and the racing always close. Most unpredictable class at Le Mans.

@lucascherrer8851 3 күн бұрын

Lmp2 was my favourite category just because it was a tightly packed intermediate class between LMP1/Hypercar and the GTs. They always had action and the number of experienced drives in it made for exiting races. Maybe it was because they had the same car.

I still like LMP2 but I loved it when it was multiple chassis competing

@rofufoja 3 күн бұрын

As far as I know LMP2 still is open for any LMP2 chassis manufacturer. There used to be 4 different ones competing. In the end everyone turned to Oreca. Except for one team in IMSA, which came back and competes with a Ligier. Don't know about ELMS.

Really worry about Isotta, they have stated 2 entry on term of technical there no issue but run the program for another car is costly and they really need 1 more customer to run their 2nd car

@halow4 20 сағат бұрын

They may as well give HYPERCAR its own races without any multiclass with the exception of Le Mans. By 2026-2027 it's looking like almost 15 manufacturers will be in the mix, that's 30 damn cars in just one class, how can you squeeze two other classes in between that. They should run lmp2 and lmgt3 together for races at that point.

Two car entry is not what I wanted. What I wanted is diversity. It's okay if only single car effort. Team could concentrate in just ONE car, & pay less driver & the money could be used elsewhere in/of car development. If WEC wants to increase the volume, do not use TWO CAR mandatory, but cost cap & fair BoP, so even privateer team could compete to the top/podium. IMSA doing better in BoP, all competitor won at least once or podiums. EDIT : Lets not forget LMP2. For me, kinda boring, with only Oreca 07 & Gibson engine. Come on, at least two or three different chassis, but keep the same engine.

@tropfen 5 күн бұрын

It's not really correct/misleading how the two car rule is presented in the video. Privateers will still be able to run single car entries. It's only the manufacturer backed teams that require two car entries.

@casscroute8706 2 күн бұрын

The 4 different chassis are still present in LMP2, it's just that the Oreca 07 is better so teams don't chose the others. There is still one Ligier LMP2 in IMSA though

@bigCobaltguy 3 күн бұрын

The rule to be required to enter more than one car is a bit harsh, considering teams like Vanwall, Isotta, and Glickenhaus which are more private companies/teams, dont have the funds really to run more than one car. (With the exception of Glickenhaus)

its 2 cars pair team or 2 cars from the same manufacture can race? i mean, take Proton for example this year was running 1 car but there where other porches, will this mean that proton wont race?

Not just these changes,I think ACO should also have to find some ways to make teams and manufacturers make more profits,sure the good news is that LMH/LMDh rulesets is extend to 2028/29,but even with BoP, cost will still gonna rise anyway. If they can't find a way to let the teams to make more profits,manufacturers will still gonna left the series and then WEC remains in the boom-bust cycle all over again

They should change BoP back to the way it was in the ruglations until last year. Because its clearly a big no no to some marques all the time. It should be about performance over a lap only. But it ains directly to some cars advantages. And thats BS. Because it kills the essence of the whole "we built unique cars that are different" vibe. Also its simply unfair to some, while others clearly get favored since they entered just because they bring a lot of fans. Its becoming a show more and more. Its an epic one for sure, but if you know a little more than the regular fan, some races results really have a bitter taste and lets you think about stop watching...

Too much complicated rules, too much heavy cars, too much safety cars, too much chicanes = boring championship. Get back to Group C and I'll come back at Spa, Le Mans, Monza, etc.
