What is the fastest LMDh car?
On raw lap time in our archive, the fastest LMDh car is the Cadillac V-Series.R: its 1:24.498 at Interlagos in 2025 is the quickest race lap any LMDh has set in the WEC, six hundredths ahead of the best from the Porsche 963. But the honest answer is that Balance of Performance keeps the LMDh field inside a window where "fastest" changes hands by circuit and by season, and the gap from best to fourth-best is under a second.

What is the difference between WEC and IMSA?
The FIA WEC is the world championship of endurance racing, run by the FIA and the ACO with the 24 Hours of Le Mans as its centerpiece. IMSA's WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is North America's top series, with the Daytona 24 and Sebring 12 as its crown jewels. They share car platforms, several manufacturers and a friendly rivalry, but they differ in classes, calendar, tyres and sporting rules. Since 2023 the same LMDh car can race in both, which is exactly what Porsche, Cadillac and BMW do.
