Motorsport Week reflects on the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship season, featuring more Hypercar competition, the final year for LMP2
The 2023 season marked the return of Ferrari and Porsche to the FIA WEC, alongside Peugeot, Cadillac, and Glickenhaus. It was also the first year for the ‘LMDh’ rules cars. The ACO used simulations to balance the performance of LMH and LMDh cars based on their ultimate potential. Toyota won 6 out of 7 races, with a late BoP change preventing them from winning in France. The season included one of the best Le Mans races in years, with multiple manufacturers leading at different points. Toyota had a two-year headstart on the competition, making them the dominant force throughout the year. Ferrari and Porsche had their moments of competitiveness, while Peugeot struggled with the performance of their car on bumpy tracks.
