Reports emerged ahead of the FIA WEC weekend in Imola about a potential new rule requiring two cars per Hypercar manufacturer starting from the 2025 season. The vote on this rule change is imminent, prompting current and future single-car OEMs in the FIA WEC to consider expanding their programs to meet the new requirement and continue participating in the championship, including the iconic Le Mans 24 Hours race. If approved by the World Motor Sport Council, the new rule would impact Hypercar factories like Lamborghini, Isotta Fraschini, Cadillac, and Aston Martin. However, all concerned OEMs are believed to be capable of meeting the two-car mandate in time for the next season. Teams like Lamborghini’s Iron Lynx and Cadillac’s V-Series.R are already preparing for potential expansion in the WEC, with considerations for maintaining their IMSA GTP programs as well. Isotta Fraschini is navigating challenges with its current single-car effort but has aspirations to field two cars, while Aston Martin remains tight-lipped about their plans amid the upcoming rule change in the FIA WEC.
