Iron Dames’ Bronze-rated driver Sarah Bovy shared her excitement for the full-season implementation of the Hyperpole qualifying format, having claimed
The 2024 Hyperpole qualifying format, introduced at the main-event 24 Hours of Le Mans round, will involve two sessions for both the Hypercar and LMGT3 categories during the regular rounds of the season. The top 10 cars from each category after the initial 12-minute session will progress to the 10-minute Hyperpole session to compete for pole position. Bovy expressed excitement for the new qualifying format and anticipates strong competition, especially from skilled bronze-rated drivers in the championship this year, highlighting that pole position only awards one championship point. Despite the challenges, Bovy is determined to continue performing well in qualifying, as she did last year when she claimed the most pole positions of any driver. The Iron Dames are prepared for the new LMGT3 era in the WEC, utilizing the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 package and expecting a tough competition with nine manufacturers and 18 entries on the grid. Bovy emphasized the importance of being prepared, having experience, and trusting in the team’s capabilities as they enter the unknown territory of the 2024 WEC season.
