WEC tyre warmer ban remains in place for 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours
It has been confirmed that the new-for-2023 WEC rule prohibiting pre-heating of tires before they are put on the car will remain in place for the Le Mans race. The supplementary regulations for Le Mans reflect the same rule mentioned in the WEC sporting regulations. The ban on modifying tire temperature compared to ambient temperature applies to any process, direct or indirect. The decision to keep the rule for Le Mans has received support from teams who wanted consistency throughout the WEC season. The revised safety car rules for Le Mans in 2023 have also been tweaked for the next season, eliminating the “drop-back” procedure and reducing the time of a safety car period.
