.PorscheRaces believes hypercar and LMDh rules should be unified for the long-term benefit of sportscar racing. Full story ⬇️
The upcoming season will be the first where IMSA’s new-for-2023 LMDh regulations for its premier GTP class will race in the Hypercar category of the FIA World Endurance Championship, allowing Porsche’s 963 to race on both sides of the Atlantic.
“Nevertheless, in WEC at least it means they have to balance the two categories. That makes it much more difficult than if you’d have the same set of rules for everybody. It’s how it is. “If you take LMDh as a starting point, I think you can always climb up the ladder of increasing the electrical part of the powertrain,” he said.
“One day, and it’s not tomorrow, we might come to a situation where we have to decide if we go to battery electric vehicles or not.
