How GTE could solve WEC's manufacturer problem

The FIA World Endurance Championship is pressing on with plans for a new 'hypercar' class to replace the failed LMP1 category. But Jamie Klein believes a simpler solution already exists on the championship's grid.

In a little under two years from now, the 2020/21 FIA World Endurance Championship season should be getting started, marking the start of the series’ new hypercar era.

The early signs for the new ruleset, which will replace the current-generation of LMP1s, are encouraging, with as many as six prospective entrants. If even only half of those end up taking part, that provides a solid platform to take the championship out of its current funk.

Le Mans to reveal 2019 entry list in two stages

Image
The entry list for next year's Le Mans 24 Hours will be revealed in two stages. The first 50 cars on the 60-strong entry for the 87th running of the French enduro on June 16/17 will be unveiled on February 11, with an additional 10 cars and a further 10 reserves announced on March 1. The format of the 2018/19 World Endurance Championship superseason, which includes two editions of the 24 Hours, has been cited by race organiser the Automobile Club de l'Ouest as the reason for the two-stage unveiling. The first 50 cars will include the full-season WEC participants as well as those teams that have gained guaranteed entries for Le Mans next year courtesy of their success in ACO-affiliated series in 2018 and '19. There will again be four automatic entries from each of the the European and Asian Le Mans Series, one from the Michelin Le Mans Cup ELMS support series and two from the IMSA SportsCar Championship. The overall winner of Le Mans also receives a guaranteed ...

Ford's Le Mans-winning GT will turn laps of the Mount Panorama circuit during this year's Bathurst 1000 weekend. Ahead of Ford's return as a Supercars manufacturer next year with the all-new Mustang, the Ford GT will make its first appearance on Australian soil with a demo run at Mount Panorama. The #67 car will be driven by top Aussie export Ryan Briscoe, who is currently a permanent part of the Ford Chip Ganassi Racing line-up for its Le Mans and IMSA programmes. “The Ford GT is an ultra-high-performance car, so I’m really excited and honoured to turn the Ford GT’s first laps at Bathurst” said Briscoe, who made the last of three Bathurst 1000 starts back in 2013. “For me, Bathurst is one of the best, if not the best, racing circuit in the world. “Bathurst as a circuit demands the highest respect at all times. It has the intensity of a circuit like Indy, where its very high-speed and you just always need to be 100 per cent focused." Supercars CEO Sean ...

G-Drive loses Le Mans appeal, Alpine confirmed LMP2 winner

Image
The G-Drive Racing squad has lost its appeal against disqualification from LMP2 victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours in June. The exclusions of the class-winning G-Drive Oreca-Gibson 07 run by TDS Racing and the French team's entry under its own banner, which finished fourth in P2, have been confirmed by the FIA International Court of Appeal. The verdict, which follows a hearing in Paris on September 18, means the Signatech Alpine Oreca is confirmed as the class winner in the second round of the 2018/19 World Endurance Championship superseason. The Graff-SO24 Oreca is classified second in class and the #32 United Autosports Ligier-Gibson JSP217 third. The court upheld the decision of the stewards deeming the TDS-run entries to have illegally modified fuel rigs, enabling the two cars to refuel "significantly faster" than their class rivals.  The G-Drive Oreca shared by Jean-Eric Vergne, Roman Rusinov and Andrea Pizzitola dominated LMP2 at Le Mans on the way to a two-...
