2024 FIA World Endurance Championship


The 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship was the twelfth season of the FIA World Endurance Championship, a sports car racing series organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest. The series was open to Hypercars or Le Mans Daytona h and, for the first time, LMGT3 racing cars.
This was the first season of the World Endurance Championship without the LMP2 class, after it was dropped due to the increasing demand in the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes. The LMP2 class will still take part at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The LMGT3 class was introduced to replace the GTE class that was dropped at the end of the 2023 season. A maximum amount of 37 cars was set for the full-season grid.
Manufacturers entering in the LMGT3 category will only be allowed to enter a maximum of two cars, to allow for a greater diversity in the LMGT3 category. Priority is given to manufacturers who have also entered a car in the Hypercar category.

Calendar

On 9 June 2023, during the 2023 Le Mans weekend, the calendar for the 2024 season was announced. It contains eight races, including two completely new races and two returning races. The 1000 Miles of Sebring, 6 Hours of Portimão, and 6 Hours of Monza races will not return in 2024, with Monza not being held due to the track being redeveloped. The Imola event would later replace Monza as the Italian round on the schedule, while the series will make its first visit to Qatar to start the season, allowing hotter weather than Sebring. The 6 Hours of São Paulo, which was last visited by the WEC in 2014 alongside the Lone Star Le Mans round that was previously hosted in 2020 would also make their return to the calendar.
The prologue was originally scheduled for 24 and 25 February but was delayed due to shipping issues.

Entries

The number of entries was capped at 37 cars due to garage limitations at Imola and the Circuit of the Americas. Frédéric Lequien, CEO of Le Mans Endurance Management, outlined a goal to increase the grid size in future seasons.
