[WEC Race] 2016 FIA WEC Round 1: 6 Hours of Silverstone - Race Thread

[J Jay]

April rolls round again, and right on cue another season of the FIA World Endurance Championship is finally at our doorstep. The regular routine has been shaken up slightly but it should be to the viewer's benefit, with a shorter break post-Le Mans to accommodate an extra race at Mexico City. The prologue provided tantalising glimpses of what we might be in for, but with two new cars at the front and many more behind there will almost certainly be an extra element of unpredictability to add to the excitement of the opening race.

In LMP1-H Audi and Toyota bring brand new machinery to take the fight to Porsche, but the folks at Stuttgart definitely haven't rested on their laurels. LMP1-P sees an enthused ByKolles making progress through the off-season and hoping to take the fight to Rebellion on the track. A whole host of changes grace LMP2 - including two cars from Manor - that promise to keep the class entertaining throughout the year. Ford mark their return with two factory-backed cars in GTE-Pro to try and topple the established AF Corse and AMR entries, while the GTE-Am class sees the usual names ready to do battle for yet another season.
