Why you should go to WEC

Interview with Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, President of the FIA Endurance Commission
Are you pleased they are looking at sportscar racing – not as a poor man’s relation to F1, but as a credible alternative?
"I’m not pleased, I’m thrilled and delighted. It’s fantastic they should see it that way and they absolutely should. The way endurance racing is evolving, it’s becoming the ‘thinking man’s motorsport. I say that without any false modesty but I really believe this. I think that everything that’s done to try and jazz up some of the other formulas really just takes them further and further into the spectacle game and we are firmly in hard racing; we do nothing to artificially jazz it up."
