The full-season entry for the World Endurance Championship could expand to as many as 40 cars in 2024.

ACO president Pierre Fillon described the attempts to accommodate more than the 36 cars accepted this year as “a work in progress”“So we are working to see what we can do, but we could have 40 cars.” Asked if the ACO and FIA were considering asking LMGT3 teams to run their two cars from a single pit, Fillon replied: “We are looking at all solutions - the devil will be in the detail.”
Fillon revealed that the plans could be firmed up this week at a meeting of the FIA’s Endurance Commission.squad will run Chevrolet’s new Corvette Z06 GT3.R in the WEC next year.“We would obviously prefer not to do it, but we understand why it is being discussed and would have to accept something being done for the good of the championship.”
