It will not be in the next season that the World Endurance Championship (WEC) will reach the forty permanent entries – it will stay at 37 cars, before an expansion targeted for 2025.
According to the website Sportscar365.com, Frédéric Lequien, the championship’s CEO, confirmed that this is ‘the right number’, but also set the goal of ‘increasing the grid in 2025’.
With limited garages at some circuits, the idea from the FIA and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest was for the LMGT3 teams to share boxes. However, according to Lequien, this would create problems:
– It’s too complicated with refueling the cars. If you have two cars in the same garage, you need to have two refueling systems. It’s unfair if [you only have one car].’
