Multi-class racing is what makes the FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans so competitive, and so compelling for millions of motorsport fans around the world. The top flight Hypercars, stars of tomorrow in LMP2 and the closely fought battles in the road going derived GTE class – all fighting for class victory, against the same clock, against the same elements.

Which class do you choose?

Hypercars

First introduced in 2021, these top category sportscars have got the motorsport world onto their feet in recent years. Innovative, sleek designs – all powered by different engine configurations – creates an exciting spectacle on track. Famous brands such as Ferrari, Porsche and Toyota fight at the very front for victories at race circuits around the world. Producing over 650 horsepower from the internal combustion engine and a potential 270 horsepower equivalent from the hybrid system, this produces prototype rocket ships that need the best drivers to extract the most from the cars – while sticking to the strategy for success.

Have you got what it take to be at the top? Which team will you lead to Le Mans victory?

LMGT3

The latest class to join the World Endurance Championship field, LMGT3 made it’s debut in the 2024 season. This new GT category replaces the outgoing GTE AM class and concentrates on amateur racers and privately operated teams. The cars are very familiar to ordinary GT3 machinery but have undergone modifications by FIA WEC including fitment of torque sensors & position lights. LMGT3 competitiveness is maintained by Balance of Performance, the process of balancing each car inside a performance window by restricting maximum power, energy and weight. With brands from Aston Martin, BMW, McLaren, Porsche and Ferrari, there are lots of incredible machinery to choose from!

LMP2

The second tier sports prototype class, LMP2 sits directly under the Hypercar category – proving the perfect place to cut your endurance racing teeth. Many drivers and even teams have used the category platform to shine and propel themselves into the top-flight with the Hypercar manufacturers and team owners all keeping a close eye on LMP2 for the next crop of talent.

If you can win in this class – you can be confident in other categories – with the LMP2 field all using almost identical, Gibson-powered ORECAs – tenths of a second can make the difference between win or lose, with driver input, set-up and strategy the key ingredients needed to shine in a busy grid.

Are you ready to make a name for yourself in the FIA WEC?

GTE

The GTE field is supercar heaven, with luxury marques such as Aston Martin, Corvette, Ferrari, Porsche taking to the grid. The GTE cars, although a lot slower and heavier than the Hypercar counterparts – still command a high level of respect when stepping behind the wheel. When fighting for the class victory – you will have one eye in front of you, as you fight for the win – getting your elbows out, while you will have one eye in your mirror as you try to keep out the way of the faster cars on the circuit – a difficult balancing act. Not one for the faint hearted.

Which brand will you represent on race weekend?
