At their annual press conference prior to the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 15-16 June, the ACO and the WEC confirmed two key changes for the upcoming years. The two-car mandate mostly doesn’t affect Hypercar teams, as most are already using two cars. Lamborghini Iron Lynx will transition to a two-car SC63 lineup next year. For their Le Mans debut, they brought both their WEC and IMSA Endurance Cup cars and crews. Isotta Fraschini, a bespoke maker, has one Tipo 6-C and hasn’t responded to the mandate yet. Aston Martin’s Heart of Racing project will run two Valkyries next year, bringing back the V12 sound to Le Mans and the WEC. Imola will have 40 garages, increasing from 37, as the WEC field expands.
