Updates can turn BMW's LMDh contender into a regular frontrunner in the WEC, according to Dries Vanthoor
BMW driver Dries Vanthoor believes the German manufacturer needs to upgrade its LMDh car in order to be a consistent frontrunner in the World Endurance Championship in 2025. The BMW M Hybrid V8 LMDh has achieved limited success since it made its debut in the IMSA SportsCar Championship in 2023, while an expansion to the Hypercar class of the WEC this year has also been only modestly fruitful.
” As with other LMDh and LMH manufacturers, BMW is allowed a total of five evo jokers over the initial five-year lifespan of the M Hybrid V8. Not every change made to the car counts towards an evo joker, and manufacturers aren’t required to disclose the use of their allocation publicly. In the WEC, evo jokers have to be applied for to the rulemakers, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and the FIA, and are allowed at their discretion.
