WEC tyre warmer ban remains in place for 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours
The ban on pre-heating tires before they are put on the car will remain in place for the Le Mans race in June 2023, as confirmed by the published supplementary regulations. This decision was under discussion but has now been finalized. The regulations state that any attempt to modify the tire temperature is forbidden. The rule has been controversial since its introduction and was highlighted during the pre-Le Mans WEC round in April. The Automobile Club de l’Ouest, which organizes Le Mans, has not commented on the decision. Additionally, revised safety car rules for Le Mans in 2023 have been adjusted for the upcoming season to reduce the time of safety car periods before the race restarts.
