Questions about this season
Classes · 4 min read
Why does every LMP2 team race an Oreca 07?
Four constructors are licensed to build LMP2 cars: Oreca, Ligier, Dallara and Multimatic. In practice the grid chose one. The Oreca 07 proved faster and easier to run than its rivals when the ruleset launched in 2017, customer demand snowballed, and the other chassis disappeared from the WEC within five seasons. Since 2022, every LMP2 entry in the championship has been an Oreca 07 with the spec Gibson V8 behind the cockpit.

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).
