WEC set to introduce minimum two car manufacturer Hypercar rule
Autosport has learned that the new rule being evaluated is part of the planned expansion of the WEC grid to a minimum of 40 cars for 2025 from the current 37. This rule change would prevent factory teams like Cadillac Racing from running single cars, in favor of multi-car teams. Hypercar manufacturers would still be limited to running a maximum of two factory cars, except at Le Mans. The WEC is considering implementing a two-car rule, following news of Chip Ganassi Racing’s one-car factory program with Cadillac ending after 2024. Iron Lynx and Aston Martin are among the teams intending to increase their Hypercar presence in the series. The new rule could potentially impact independent teams in the FIA Endurance World Cup for Teams.
