[@cybersecurity_for_newbies]

It's because f1 is a sprint layout where it's about positions and who will be ahead of everyone on the lap and le mans is an endurance layout where the team with the most laps win the race and not the fastest to do the lap wins

[@gruphius]

The driver doing the most laps is the driver who drives said laps the fastest. No, the reason is because WEC has a mandatory pit time.

​​@@gruphius except there is no mandatory pit stop time. This is for GT and smaller endurance series to help the smaller and newer teams get accustomed to pit stops

@@mintgoldheart6126 no, you're wrong there. There is a mandatory pit stop time and while I wasn't able to find a rule about that in the official FIA rules I was able to find an article talking about it online. And I can even tell you why exactly there's a mandatory pit time: Because cars did tend to blow up across multiple racing series due to the teams trying too much to be as efficient as possible with refueling. For the same reason refueling was banned in F1.

[@azaria_phd]

That's a pointless clarification. While it is true that in WEC, you win by completing the most laps - doing so requires you to be the fastest car on the race. Also, in F1, if you are missing laps when the winner crosses the finish line, you are not allowed to complete any more laps than your current one. In practice this means that both definitions are practically the same (only difference being when you decide the first place has won). The real difference comes from... Everywhere else.

[@mr.cheatkiller9679]

F1 race: about 2 hours, fuel tank is smaller, and tyres are soft 24h Le Mans: 24 hours, fuel tank is bigger, tyres are more reliable => pit stops are less frequent but longer.

[@yommish]

Yeah but I’m guessing F1 fuel tank is larger since it lasts the whole race and sportscars need to refuel roughly every hour.

[@kimf.wendel9113]

F1 cars holds 100 kg of fuel, which they need to complete the race in. WEC cars have limitations on volumes at around 60 liters, which weighs around 40 kg. F1 tires have thinner rubbing surface to force pitstops during races. Whereas WEC uses standard racing slicks with thicker surfaces, as they will wear down.

[@mcwrekx1998]

Alot of people don't understand that in endurance races there's something called a "minimum mandatory pit time" which basically states that once a car comes in to pit, no matter what they're coming in to pit for whether it be of just fuel and or tire or a full driver change. The car has to stay in the pitbox for a minimum amount of time before it's allowed to go back out again. The car is on a timer counting down, and the team will be penalized if they leave before that time reaches zero.

[@Maenfy]

WEC and IMSA actually don't have minimum pit stop times, teams can do the stops as fast as possible.

[@jaiganticpooey3012]

They also refuel first and you can't change tyres while refuelling so it's just as competitive in the pits as F1 is

[@MadelnOahu]

Imagine how intense f1 would be if they had 2 drivers, 1 car combo. If f1 actually was a team sport for the drivers

[@OGShively]

[@4_14_fan]

Competitive pit stops in wec would be really cool to see, the reason they take so long is because there's a required amount of time you have to stay in the pit stall so nobody gains an advantage while in the pits like f1 and NASCAR

[@fruitygranulizer540]

WEC has a mandatory minimum pit stop time, so they don't have to rush. they only need to do it relatively quickly so they have time to spare if something goes wrong, but its not a race to see who can finish their pitstop the fastest. in fact, its safer if they take their time since they are less likely to make a mistake and run over the minimum required pit stop time this is unlike F1 where, in addition to having nothing to check, no driver swap, no refueling, they only have to change the tires, and there is no minimum time so they have to get it done as fast as possible.

Also 24 hours of Lemans has 3 to 4 cars with 3 or 4 pilots each for the duration, plus the tank must be filled for more duration of the race. That means, that tank has to at least had 5 hours of duration through the course, and on top the driver must had fuel efficiency. On top tire efficiency must be something since they determinate how much pit stop they had to do for change them. On other hand F1 cars has a small tank of fuel + tires get worn out even faster than a lemans car.
