WEC - The 2024 season Entry List unveiled

The 2023 season of the World Endurance Championship was epic, and the next is set to be even more so. This morning, the ACO unveiled the entry list for the 12th season of the FIA WEC. Thirty-seven cars are expected to take part: 19 in Hypercar and 18 in LMGT3.

And it has to be said that, with the exception of certain drivers, we had hit the nail on the head with our provisional list. In the top class, we note the presence of the third Ferrari 499P, which is indeed entered under the AF Corse banner, and the absence of the Vanwall Vandervell 680, to which we'll return later today.

In LMGT3, Audi and Mercedes were, unsurprisingly, not selected. But long story short, here is the long-awaited list of entrants for the 2024 WEC season.

Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, said: “As the year of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary, 2023 was a historic season. But 2024 is just around the corner. Next season will stand out in the history of endurance, and probably in motorsport as a whole. The world’s greatest carmakers will compete in the eight races that comprise the championship, which includes circuits on the calendar for the first time. The stakes are high in Hypercar and in LMGT3 alike. See you in February for the Prologue on the magnificent Lusail International Circuit.”

Richard Mille, FIA Endurance Commission President, said: “From one year to another the FIA World Endurance Championship keeps going from strength to strength. The championship never stops evolving. 2023 will be another pivotal year, with the Hypercar class reaching its full potential with 19 entries from nine different manufacturers. Also, for the first time in history, WEC will be comprised of two classes, each benefiting from incredibly strong entries. Next season also marks a new chapter for GT racing, with the cars based on the GT3 technical platform, which is by far the FIA’s most successful customer racing class and which offers WEC a great variety of makes and models.”

Frédéric Lequien, CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship, said: “The sheer number of entries across both Hypercar and LMGT3 underlines the continued growth of FIA WEC and I’d like to take this moment to thank all our manufacturers and teams for putting their trust in us. To have an entry list featuring 19 Hypercars plus 18 LMGT3 entries representing 14 different manufacturers truly reflects the golden era of endurance racing that we are experiencing right now. The battles on track next season are going to be extraordinary and what’s even more exciting is that we are expanding our calendar to eight races so that even more fans can enjoy the action.”
