Isotta Fraschini is working hard to address the upcoming “two-car rule” for Hypercar manufacturers in the FIA WEC starting next year. The Italian marque faces stiff competition with eight top manufacturers in the category, but remains ambitious as it progresses through its debut campaign. Significant advancements have been made, including improved operational capabilities and closing the performance gap with rivals like Duqueine- and Michelotto-supported team. The team’s impressive showing at Le Mans showcased the Tipo-6C’s reliability and potential, finishing 14th and demonstrating progress in every race without prior testing. Despite challenges with a young driver lineup, led by Jean-Karl Vernay, improvements are evident in performance and learning curve at each race weekend. Looking ahead, with new leadership in 2025, Isotta Fraschini aims to meet the requirement for a second car on the grid, signaling a potential expansion under CEO Miguel Valldecabres’s leadership.
