The Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) has announced the mandate of the FIA World Endurance Championship grid increasing from 37 to 40 cars from 2025, in addition to a minimum two-car lineup for each Hypercar manufacturer.

At their annual press conference prior to the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 15-16 June, the ACO and the WEC has confirmed two key changes for the upcoming years.

For the most part, the two-car mandate does not concern many Hypercar teams with most already utilising two cars for their programmes.

Lamborghini Iron Lynx will, as a result, make the step for a two-car SC63 lineup next year.

For their Le Mans debut in the top category, they have brought both their WEC and IMSA Endurance Cup cars and crews for the iconic French classic.

It must be reminded, however, that they will continue the rest of the season as expected with just the #63 entrant and drivers Mirko Bortolotti, Daniil Kvyat, and Edoardo Mortara.

Another mention will be for Isotta Fraschini, who only have one Tipo 6-C given their status as a bespoke make, though they have yet to confirm or respond to the recently announced mandate.

Whilst Cadillac have three Hypercars for Le Mans, they will need to step up to two cars for the full WEC season, rather than solely the #2 blue LMDh.

Next year, the Aston Martin Hypercar project run by Heart of Racing will – as a result – run two Valkyries as the British make returns the V12 soundtrack to Le Mans, and for the first time in the WEC.

Imola, which will be on the WEC calendar until 2028, will have increased their garage count from 37 to 40, as the WEC field is set to account for any further expansions to the new number.
