WEC Hypercar manufacturers are set to be given priority when the new LMGT3 class entries are selected for 2024 Full story ⬇️
The WEC organisation has outlined its strategy for putting together the grid for LMGT3, w, while stressing that further discussions within the FIA Endurance Commission are required before any sign-off by the World Motor Sport Council.
Chevrolet would also be given priority because General Motors sister marque competes in Hypercar with its Cadillac LMDh prototype, while Toyota is also on the list because it is represented in GT3 by sister brand Lexus and has its own car, dubbed the GR GT3 Concept, under development for 2025. “But we like diversity also: the perfect situation would be to have enough places to also welcome some brands which are not in Hypercar.“The idea is that the OEMs will choose the teams.”Lequien added that any manufacturer already represented in the GT ranks but not involved in Hypercar would also be looked upon favourably, which effectively means Aston Martin.Lequien stressed that the plan is still with the Endurance Commission and has yet to go before the WMSC.
