Already bought me and my family tickets to the 6 hours of São Paulo, so stoked for WEC to come back to my country. It'll the first racing event that'll attend, so excited. Hopefully I can get my lego 963 signed by all the Porsche boys

[@mileskosik472]

Oh my gosh that's such a good idea for something to get signed! I'm planning on going to the Road America one with my Dad, I was thinking what I should bring to get signed, that would be so cool!

[@cabrelbeuk72]

This is absolutly madness that WEC is still one of the less followed competition. It really has been giving the most epic racing in ages and the 24h le mans 2023 has been the most watched motorsport event of all time. Also it is now very likely that Mercedes won't make the cut next year. However MacLaren will probably be in thanks to United Motorsport. It has been said that Imola is a one year deal and WEC should be back to Monza after. Sebring is much less likely, especially in a Super Sebring formula, as WEC simply doesn't want to have one of its race as a support event (ego stuff). It is not granted that it stays at COTA, but there is other options on the table such as Daytona.

[@guybeingaguy]

The reason Mercedes won’t make the cut……… They are not building a car. “It has been said…..” Means……. I have no proof, I’m too lazy to provide proof or facts so I just put crap out there.

[@cabrelbeuk72]

@@cabrelbeuk72 You even admit the source of your info is unreliable, early and often doesn’t materialize. You’re confusing your own false, inaccurate statements as hateful. Make statements that are true and factual is all society asks. Do better.

[@cabrelbeuk72]

@@guybeingaguy It's not the request that is hateful, it's how you formulate it. If you can't even realize that then maybe just stay away from communicating with people too much And you said it yourself, i did formulate thing in a way it couldn't be mistaken as a 100% reliable info, just said too i didn't pull it out of my ass but from people that have actual access to insiders. Stop being so butthurted, don't know why you so sensitive about this.

Maybe more races could change that. I saw them the last time they were at Road Atlanta for the Petit LeMans race years ago. What a great time that was. I feel the higher car count is going to help immensely.

Really been getting into the WEC and this helped alot so thanks! Very underrated

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

I haven't been this excited about racing since attending my first race in 1970. WEC Hypercar racing is fantastic! The cars are super high tech, look cool and are very fast. The drivers are talented and the competition is outstanding. GTE is more fun as well. I get goosebumps and my eyes water watching this great racing. Thank you WEC for bringing racing back to life for me!

[@_JimS]

There is nothing better to watch in racing than auto manufacturers beating the hell out of each other on the track. In America Trans-Am and IMSA Camel GT and GTP series was the greatest era of racing I've ever witnessed, while Group C in Europe was kicking butt too. I'm really excited for this season.

[@petarivanov9301]

Full with my favorite circuits and manufacturers.... sooo excited to watch it

[@chlievcinema]

It looks like Mercedes have no space anymore in GT3 category and i have mixed feelings about pushing money packet middle east tracks and loosing historic tracks like sebring or monza or even portimao. That is even bigger problem in F1. Good recap man, also nice AC shoots.

[@milesr4609]

I wast expecting someone to say this. Yes, Merc wont take part, but that spot will be filled by McLaren.

[@mintgoldheart6126]

Monza was dropped because it had renovations to do right when WEC could race there. And from what have heard, Sebring was rather inconvenient because of calendar interfering with the opening of IMSA.

[@KittyPurrfect100]

Would WEC FIA consider racing at Daytona 3.56 mile road course for let’s say 6 hours or 8 hours? There is only one Rolex 24

[@load714]

COTA is the worst track for fans to see endurance racing. Was there at the last WEC race and limited places for the fan to see the race. They should have gone to Watkins Glen, or returned to Sebring. So I guess I'll just go and see the IMSA races instead. At least I'll be at some tracks that are better for endurance fans to see more of the race, than limited to the front straight and a corner or two.

[@tommymonday5665]

Wonder how they'll fare at Qatar. The f1 drivers were overheating and almost loosing consciousness

[@crown_tickford]

I would love to see a race in Australia for WEC such as Bathurst or even a street race!

[@christheradar]

Bathurst is not suitable for WEC. The track is too tight and dangerous for multi-class racing. Faster cars will severly struggle to overtake the slower cars.

[@crown_tickford]

@@christheradar Makes sense, but Australia also has plenty of other circuits to offer to the WEC, maybe we could even build a new circuit to suit WEC and other regulations

[@Arvid_Goatblad]

I would love to see it at somewhere like Sydney motorsports park

[@crown_tickford]

@@Arvid_Goatblad same, the track has brought some entertaining races for the Supercars. They just need to sort out the whole pit lane to have enough garages, plus the track would be a little small for a field that big, I reckon if Motorsport Australia and the FIA put a little work into it, it would be a very entertaining endurance race at a great circuit!

Not trying to be an asshole here, just wanting to be genuinely helpful. Imola is actually pronounced "E-moh-lah". And I that sounds just like you're just saying the letter E in english. Then Mo, with a hard O that doesn't transition into an U sound at the end. And then a final La with a hard A that sounds like you're saying Ah but with an L at the start. Hope it helps and great video, definitely earned a new subscriber.
