Why did Audi leave the WEC?
[Audi](/manufacturers/audi) ended its LMP1-Hybrid programme at the end of the 2016 WEC season, citing budget reallocation following the Volkswagen Group's 2015 diesel-emissions investigation. The decision closed a 17-year top-class endurance racing programme that had produced 13 24 Hours of Le Mans wins, 17 WEC overall race wins and the most consistent LMP1 manufacturer effort in motorsport history. Audi has not returned to top-class endurance racing since, although the marque had announced a Formula 1 entry for 2026 with Sauber.

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.

What is the difference between LMH and LMDh?
LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) and LMDh (Le Mans Daytona h) are the two platform types that share the top class of the WEC, the Hypercar class. LMH cars are designed from scratch by their manufacturer, including the chassis, hybrid system and engine. LMDh cars are built around one of four spec LMP2 chassis (Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic, Oreca) with a manufacturer-developed engine bolted on top of a single mandated spec hybrid kit. Both platforms race each other through a system called Equivalence of Technology, designed to make them lap at the same pace.
