According to the CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship, the full-season entry list is set to expand to 40 cars for the 2025 season. This expansion has become an obsession for the organization, as they have had to turn away teams due to space limitations in the past. To reach the goal of 40 cars, changes to the calendar and possibly sharing garage space for LMGT3 teams are being considered. The maximum number of cars allowed in the championship is likely to stay at 40 in the future, as there is a need to reserve spots for guest teams and teams from other series. Teams that missed out on entries this year may have the opportunity to compete on a race-by-race basis, but they must meet certain criteria and have their cars homologated by the ACO and FIA. The CEO did not provide specific details on why certain teams were omitted from the 2024 entry list but mentioned that decisions were made based on sporting regulations.
