The next era of endurance car racing kicks off later this month with the Rolex 24h Daytona. We run down Le Mans Hypercar and LMDh contenders -
contender that will be revealed later in 2024. This will see a vast increase in the number of marques represented at the lower end of the grid, given the multitude of GT3 cars already competing around the world.
However, it’s the top class that is taking centre stage for now, and the key thing to know is that there are now two main types of car: Le Mans Hypercar and Le Mans Daytona Hybrid . No, they’re not the most catchy of category descriptions, but the idea is that cars from both classes should be vying for outright wins at events such as the Le Mans 24 Hours, and both can compete in both the FIA WEC series and IMSA in the USA.
Think of LMDh as a cut-price route into challenging outright for race wins. While LMH budgets should be considerably lower than those under the old LMP1 rules, LMDh uses an LMP2 chassis from one of Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic or Oreca, and a standardised hybrid rear axle and gearbox combination developed by Bosch, Williams Advanced Engineering and Xtrac, to offer a value proposition to manufacturers who want to get on the grid without instigating an enormous motorsport programme.
