WEC analysis: The data putting Porsche on the front foot for Qatar opener
The WEC held its annual pre-season test at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar on Monday and Tuesday, giving teams a chance to assess the competition ahead of the Qatar 1812Km race. The Prologue was delayed by two days due to logistical issues, leading to a revised schedule with teams having three sessions to run across two days. Despite some teams opting out of the final session, all WEC teams utilized the opportunity to gather valuable data on track conditions. Cadillac showed promising pace with Earl Bamber setting competitive lap times, indicating a potential challenge against Porsche in the upcoming race. However, Toyota’s performance lagged in both one-lap pace and race simulation, raising concerns among competitors about their competitiveness in the upcoming event.
