WEC tire compounds
What tire compounds are allowed in WEC races? Is the 24hr allowed different compounds than the other races?

In regular season rounds, two tire compounds are allocated. At Le Mans, all 3 can be used. For Spa it was S and M. |

WEC tire compounds
 I don’t know why I took this photo. Maybe for this moment. I don’t recall hard ever being used. The other categories had different tyres. |

Never got warm enough to use the hard tire. That would have been nice to see at the 24, but the weather had other plans! I hope they do the sensible thing and bring them to Sao Paulo.

I think listening the the obligatory Michelin PR blokes in comms the hard is for the insane heat of Bahrain potentially LM, Fuji etc, to make a tyre work at Spa and then 35 degrees in say Brazil is tough!!
Davidson gave a good prod by saying I think the hard yes would wear less but it would also not really get warm enough to work properly in the cold, so would offer a huge laptime reduction, and would potentially get cold tear etc and more wear as the driver would be trying more to get it to work? |
