Can't help but think that they forgot something....
The convergence agreement is also great news. Will see LMH and LMdH racing together in IMSA and WEC

Re: WEC Related News
They (Kessel Racing) did quite well on test day being less that 1sec off the pace in GTE-AM.
I think GTE-Am is going to be the exciting race at this years edition with over 20 entries and less that 2 seconds across them all.

WEC sure need the manufacturers to hurry up & get their HC's in the series.

Eurosport, not sure what that's on. It's not on Kayo.
I subscribe to the WEC app and get it that way.

The replay will come up a week or so later on YouTube. I’m pretty good at avoiding results but it will take me another week to watch it all lol

Re: WEC Related News
You can blame the Aussie bogan Supercars fans for this, they are just not interested in any other quality racing except maybe F1.

Re: WEC Related News
Kessel Racing qualified 8th, just outside Hyperpole. That's a great effort considering there are 23 cars in the class

Re: WEC Related News
Unfortunately sports car racing has been a bit dead for a couple of years. It's popularity comes in waves and it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be at the moment. It had a resurgence when Toyota, Audi and Porsche were battling it out but even they lose interest after a while and it screws the category up. Then the rule makers change the regulations in the hope that it'll attract them back again, which it does and the cycle continues. The other problem is it's not a category for big name drivers, they're mostly F1 rejects. Alonso gave it a boost then he was there but it's mostly guys that have come into it from other categories. There's only 1 big name manufacturer and no big name drivers, so it's no wonder the tv networks don't want to touch it because there's no return on investment. The real action is in GTE, but that usually takes a back seat.
