To me endurance is 4 hours or more. It's not named World Endurance Championship for nothing. Otherwise they would've gone with World Sportscar Championship...

AF Corse will field FIVE cars in the FIA WEC, + 2 for LM24 + 2 SMP LMP2s. Wow... reflecting what was said above, I'd rather see a monopoly than a dying grid. |

I would be surprised if the FIA/ACO is to honor all those GTE-Am entry requests, I can see them denying at least 1 request (the ELMS entry) and possibly a second one if they decide to limit AF Corse´s WEC´s entries to two (again in GTE-Am).
When are the entry lists for Le Mans and WEC to be released again please? Thx. |

I assume there will live coverage (stream) for the releases again.

I doubt the old name was the 1st choice though because ACO likes the E word, and also Ratel's World Championship still existed in 2011 when WEC was announced, so "GT" and "Sportscar" might have caused some conflict. I can see the E word being dumped again though, for exactly same reasons it was changed in 1986. |

Never seen that Lausitzring layout before. The DTM course is just a poor man's Daytona and not exactly inspiring - but the long layout looks brilliant. It's never gonna comply with FIA regs, but one can dream.

So...any Mako-status? If he'll drive for Porsche, then never mind.

Since they have marketed the event as an enduro already (well to 300km-races in 1 weekend on a short lap, so over 100 laps per race) a long race won't be a problem for them. I wonder though if the long track is still available. I've read some things about a lightrail track that was supposed to be build in the middle of one of the roads that made up a part of the track. |

I agree that FIA WEC should run a race in the AUS/NZ area, but the only track I can think of being suitable is Albert Park. That's a street circuit, contrary to popular belief. The idea with Albert Park is it's wide and long, perfect for both F1 and multiclass endurance racing. I can see a 6 Hours of Melbourne in the making. Of course, they'd have to run it on a different weekend than F1... |

A smart move could be to join in a street race of the new formula E calendar, possibly each year in a different city.
Saturday the WEC event, a 2 hours race with a mandatory pitstop and money prizes for lmp2 and gt-am class winners and best finishers. Sunday the race of the formula E. LMP1 and GT manufacturers could use the event as a parade-showroom to promote their mark, private lmp2 and gt teams could be interested to contest to win the grand prix like baku and macau races. |

Meanwhile, Aston Martin's Danish connection in GTE-Am is maintained, as David Heinemeier Hansson joins the team for the full WEC season.
