The last FIA World Council provided some information regarding the WEC. The sporting and technical regulations for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship season have been approved.
Points to note:
- To improve the fan experience, position lights will be replaced with multi-color LED display panels installed on either side of the cars, offering wide viewing angles and capable of displaying a range of information.
- The homologation period for cars in the Hypercar category has been extended by two years and will therefore end at the end of the 2029 season.
- The lifespan of LMP2 cars has also been extended and their homologation will expire at the end of the 2027 season. Following the suspension of the LMP2 class from full-time FIA WEC competition at the start of 2024, these cars continue to feature in European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and IMSA.
- Any driver who has driven less than 45 minutes in total during a race will not score FIA WEC Championship points – this is a reduction from the previous limit of 60 minutes. Additionally, each hypercar manufacturer must nominate two cars to score points in the world championship.
