WEC’s new LMGT3 class will see "much closer" racing – Sorensen
The WEC introduced LMGT3 in place of GTE Am for 2024, featuring ABS for easier handling by amateur drivers and rules requiring bronze and silver-graded drivers with a pro. Aston Martin is one of nine committed manufacturers with two cars each, transitioning from the GTE era. The WEC will now have two classes, combining Hypercar and LMGT3 after LMP2’s exclusion except for Le Mans. Sorensen, a successful WEC driver, states that the changes will enhance racing spectacle and competitiveness, particularly with the introduction of ABS in LMGT3 cars. He anticipates exciting and closely contested races in the newly restructured WEC championship, with teams adapting to upgraded Aston Martin Vantage GT3 models equipped with enhanced aerodynamics and suspension.
