The 2021 WEC thread.

Fuji cancelled. Two Bahrain races, and moved earlier. Presumably to facilitate another f1 race. https://www.fiawec.com/en/news/fia-wec-japanese-ro...

Saucy.



Intrigued about the rear wing.

Admittedly I've been skeptical of the Hypercar regs; a lame excuse to re-style the previous LMP1 cars but well done to Peugeot for seemingly out-of-the-box-thinking for its concept. I think it's a superb looking car, incorporating a corporate front-end a la DPi and producing most of its downforce via grounds effect.

Yep, good work Peugeot, that looks great.

Monza this weekend. A bit of a shame it clashes with the British GP, but I guess too much motorsport is better than not enough, especially with on-demand streaming available.

The Hypercars may not be the pinnacle of prototypes right now. But they're going to drag in more manufacturers and generate a whole new / renewed level of interest in the sport.
Getting Hypercars into IMSA too :-)

Lets face it, VAG group vs Toyota ( luck? what's that! ) doesn't really appeal and getting Peugeot back is warmly welcomed for starters.

This weekend is another streaming sport-fest: EWC, WEC and the TdF wrap-up.

Eurosport 2 are scheduled to show the whole race, will have to decide whether the cost of the app is worth it to be ad free, obviously Eurosport commentary is a no no, would have to go Radio Le Mans rather than inflict that on my ears
