What was the Porsche 919 Hybrid era?

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).

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.
