Briscoe convinced privateers like Vanwall can still succeed in WEC
The WEC is experiencing a high level of involvement from manufacturers in the Hypercar class, with five major manufacturers competing in the 2023 season and three more expected to join next year. Independent teams like Glickenhaus and Vanwall have struggled to keep up with better-funded competitors, but driver Ryan Briscoe believes that the Balance of Performance system can level the playing field. Briscoe feels that, even with limited resources, privateer teams can be competitive and have a chance to win. However, the limited number of grid slots has posed a threat to the future of independent teams. Gabriel Aubry, another driver in the championship, believes that the WEC should reserve some entries for privateer teams to maintain a balance between manufacturers and independent teams.
