After 14 hours of Prologue testing, there is a lot to analyze before the FIA WEC cars return for the first Free Practice session of the 2025 season on Wednesday. Testing in a Balance of Performance-governed formula offers clues on the upcoming season. The domination of Toyota, Ferrari, and Porsche in Hypercar may be fading, with BMW, Alpine, Peugeot, and Cadillac showing progress. The top times in testing were closely contested, with various manufacturers setting benchmark laps. BMW topped the timesheets, with multiple cars breaking last year’s pole time, hinting at a competitive season ahead. Toyota completed the most laps in testing but does not expect to be the fastest, showing that they remain a formidable contender. Driver Robert Kubica logged the most track time, indicating strong preparation for the upcoming races.
