WEC set to introduce minimum two-car manufacturer Hypercar rule
The new rule being evaluated is part of the planned expansion of the WEC grid to a minimum of 40 cars for 2025, aiming to increase the field size from the current 37 cars. This rule change would prevent factory teams from running a single car, aligning Hypercar regulations more closely with LMGT3 guidelines. The prohibition on Hypercar manufacturers running more than two factory cars would hold, except for special events like the Le Mans 24 Hours. Discussions are ongoing regarding implementing a two-car rule for Hypercar teams, with signs pointing towards its adoption for the upcoming season. The potential shift in regulations could impact Hypercar manufacturers and independent teams, aiming to balance competition while accommodating various entrants within the WEC series.
