Briscoe convinced privateers like Vanwall can still have success in WEC
The World Endurance Championship (WEC) is currently experiencing a high level of involvement from manufacturers in the top Hypercar class. Five volume auto makers are set to compete in the 2023 season, with three more expected to join next year. This increased competition has made it challenging for independent teams like Glickenhaus and Vanwall to remain competitive. However, former IndyCar racer Briscoe believes that the gap between the top and bottom half of the grid can be closed. He believes that the Balance of Performance system, which aims to equalize performance among teams, can give privateers a genuine chance to compete against the bigger teams. Despite the influx of manufacturers, Gabriel Aubry, who is expected to race for Isotta next year, believes that there will always be a place for privateer or independent teams in the championship. He believes that it is natural for these teams to be a part of the WEC and that they will continue to play a vital role in the championship.
