How did you get into this?
Hi everybody, lately I've been trying to find some new motorsport outside of F1 to watch. As I have raced some karting endurance team races I thought that WEC was going to be kind of my thing. Since I found out that this week was going to be the season finale I was excited but it turned out to be quite difficult for me to understand and enjoy.
I guess I'll have to wait til next season to try again but I wanted to ask you how did you started to enjoy wec and if you could give me some advice

The WEC is truly the best motorsport championship !
Just before starting, just wanted to say that I'm late because I just finished to watch the race on replay so anyways !
The fact that we get (before the #51 penalty), 7 (SEVEN), at the seven first places at the finish line is quite amazing, we're just missing the Lamborghini... I'm not ready to get no races for 4 months, but let's hope we'll get a wonderful 2025 season ! We're really living in the golden era of sports cars racing and I hope you guys understand it ! Endurance racing as never finished to amaze us !

2024 Manufacturer's Championship with 2 cars scoring

Driver Pairings
With teams like Ferrari AF Corse, Porsche Penske and TGR, there's 6 drivers split into 2 cars. When choosing the lineups, are there specific reasons that'll lead to, for example, Vanthoor, Estre and Lotterer in one car rather than Vanthoor, Estre and Cameron, for example? Is it just similar setup preferences or is there more at play?

Rule breaches let down fans
Why cars keep getting penalised for rules breaches is beyond me. This weekend’s Ferrari penalty… how the hell did they not know they would breach tyre regs? After watching an exciting finish and willing on the 51, it a real deflator for fans to se this. Am I missing something here? Feels to me like very simple rules to understand. Is it an easy mistake to make? Feels like simple maths to me!

Does Porsche have the constructor's title?
With Ferrari's demotion, Porsche number 5 gains a place and 4 additional points, number 6 moves up to 10th and enters the points +2. So Porsche has as many points as Toyota but more victories and podiums?

Wait a minute... I just saw this from Peugeot's Instagram stories, anyone has more info on that? Did Peugeot in fact scored a P3?

The undefeated HyperCar World Champions
The undefeated HyperCar World Champions
It was a tough season. Ferrari is still King of Le Mans, Porsche got the best drivers, and Toyota is still the undefeated manufacturer champion.

When more or less can we expect the entries for next year to be confirmed?
long story i'm excited to see who if an Le Mans Potato class is getting any entries. Isotta and Vanwall is coming back. Am i also correct in saying that there might be some changes in the LMGT3 lineups (some rumour about dames going back to Porsche)
