The FIA World Endurance Championship has announced that a new two-part qualifying system will be implemented starting in 2024. This decision was approved at the third FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in Geneva in 2023. The new system, which will be used for both the Hypercar class and the new LMGT3 category, will consist of a 12-minute session followed by a 10-minute Hyperpole session for the top 10 cars. Previously, the Hyperpole session was only held at the Le Mans 24 Hours. Additionally, the technical regulations for the new LMGT3 class, which will replace the outgoing GTE AM class, were also approved at the meeting. The cars in this new GT class will be based on the FIA’s existing GT3 technical platform and will feature specific adaptations for the WEC, such as luminescent number panels and leader lights.
