Plans to introduce a hydrogen category at the 24hoursoflemans will be delayed by another year to 2026. LeMans24Hours WEC ⬇️
Le Mans organiser the Automobile Club de l'Ouest set up a working group in 2017 to establish a zero emissions class at the famous endurance race, and had targeted a launch in 2024 after revealing plans for Red Bull Advanced Technologies and ORECA to design a concept chassis.
“You have two reasons for this delay. The first reason obviously the COVID situation that has delayed everything, especially for hydrogen cars.“We have seen with the GreenGT [MissionH24] programme that some components were very long to get in normal times, but with COVID it was even more difficult, so it’s difficult for manufacturers or whoever to manage or put a development programme in these conditions.
“For the moment we have a paperwork with a nice study but then you have to demonstrate on the track and we all know from engineering to the track there are some differences. However, Niclot doesn’t think the development is a concerning one as it will mean hydrogen cars aren’t competing for attention with the influx of manufacturers entering the Hypercar division.Next year Alpine, BMW and Lamborghini will join 2023 newcomers Ferrari, Porsche and Cadillac.
