Several WEC drivers are optimistic the LMDh and LMH cars will herald the start of a new era that will outlast the peak years of LMP1 🙌 Can Hypercars succeed where LMP1 failed? ⬇️

The British driver believes the way the LMDh and LMH regulations have been framed provide for a level-playing field, and it’s now financially feasible for new manufacturers to enter the class and go up against the incumbents. #14 Porsche Team Porsche 919 Hybrid, #1 Audi Sport Team Joest Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro, #7 Toyota Racing Toyota TS 040 - Hybrid“And it's how manufacturers that probably looked at it in the past but financially they knew they couldn't compete with an Audi or Porsche back in the 2014-15 era.
“And once you do the car it's going to be fixed for five years. So I think that is addressing the biggest problem for manufacturers to not keep spending this amount of money they are spending now on building [the car] because it's just going to be steady [later]. “I think endurance racing always had different waves, like manufacturers came and went,” Bernhard told Autosport. “I'm happy that now it looks like a golden era again of endurance racing with more manufacturers coming in.
