WEC’s tyre warmer ban may be lifted at Le Mans again in 2024
WEC boss Frederic Lequien has revealed that the ban on pre-heating tires in the pits is being reviewed for the double-points round in June due to safety concerns. The decision is not yet taken for Le Mans, as discussions are ongoing. Lequien mentioned that Le Mans is unique because of temperature differentials, various categories, and differing driver skills. The ban on pre-heating tires will remain in place for the rest of the season, and the 2024 WEC regulations already forbid the use of any thermal or heat retention device. Supplementary regulations for the 24 Hours of Le Mans have yet to be published.
