Why does the WEC race at Bahrain?
The WEC has raced at the [Bahrain International Circuit](/circuits/bahrain-international-circuit) every year since 2012, with the round serving as the championship's season finale since 2017. Bahrain offers three things no other WEC venue offers consistently: a desert-climate calendar slot in October or November when European tracks are weather-marginal, a high-spec circuit with built-in night-running infrastructure, and a Middle East commercial market the championship's sponsors value. The Bahrain round has produced more Hypercar manufacturer titles than any other single venue.

What replaced LMP1 in the WEC?
The Hypercar class replaced LMP1 as the WEC's top class for the 2021 season. The change ran in two stages: the LMP1-Hybrid era closed at the end of the 2019-2020 super-season, the 2020 Le Mans was the last LMP1 race of the WEC, and the Hypercar regulations went live at the start of the [2021 WEC season](/seasons/2021). Hypercar is a hybrid-mandatory class with two platform types under one performance window: LMH (manufacturer-built end to end) and LMDh (manufacturer engine and bodywork on a spec LMP2 chassis).
