FIA WEC S12 - BAPCO Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain

The 12th season of the FIA World Endurance Championship is unlike the WEC we know because this season has been streamlined to two classes; the Hypercar class and the all-new LMGT3 class. With Lamborghini joining the fun, the all-new LMGT3 class adds more fire and fury to this season.

The 12th season of the FIA World Endurance Championship is coming to a close with the BAPCO Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain. The title will be fought for by the motoring “axis powers” of Toyota, Ferrari, and Porsche. All the clashing action of this season finale is making it a season to remember.

FIA WEC S12 - 24 Hours of Le Mans

The 2024 edition of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans comes to life at the Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe, and the Hypercar grid is fully booked.

This year, the grid includes Lamborghini, BMW, and Alpine joining alongside Toyota, Ferrari, Cadillac, and Porsche. This is exciting news, as this will be the first time for both Lamborghini and Alpine to participate. For BMW, it is their first time since 1999, and their first time in the Hypercar class.

In addition to the much-lauded addition of BMW, Alpine, and Lamborghini to the Le Mans Hypercar grid, the LMGT3-class machines have proudly made their Le Mans debut. The GT3-class machines, from the Ford Mustang to the Lexus RCF, the Corvette Z06 to the Porsche 911, and even the Ferrari 296, are all ready to flex their racing muscles in this legendary endurance arena. This is one of the most prestigious races in the world and a true classic in endurance racing. With all these new additions, this year’s race is sure to be one for the ages.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans delivered many key moments, such as a GR010 crashing an RCF GT3 during a warm-up lap. Alpine also made their debut at Le Mans this year, but sadly it ended in shambles due to an engine failure. There was also a case of deja vu from last year's Le Mans, where Toyota and Ferrari clashed for victory. It's disappointing to see Alpine's debut end the way it did, but it's also inspiring to see so many legendary manufacturers competing at such a prestigious event. The 24 Hours of Le Mans is a true classic in endurance racing, and it was great to see some new faces this year.

The clash of the hypercars became the talk of the town in the season opener. Just as they thought this will be Ferrari's time to shine in the season opener but when trouble hits the Prancing Horse, it looks like the folks from Toyota Gazoo Racing still got the magic touch in Sebring, although Cadillac and Porsche still pose a greater threat for the Japanese carmaker in the ring.
