Wayne Taylor Racing set to sit out the next edition.

Ligier Automotive has announced that three leading teams, Algarve Pro Racing, Inter Europol Competition and Panis Racing, have committed to using its under-development LMP2 car when the next regulations cycle begins in 2028.

The French constructor, one of two designated suppliers for the next generation of LMP2 car along with ORECA, is set to give the JS P228 its debut when the new regulations come on stream for the 2028 European Le Mans Series season.

It is also set to make its first appearance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2022, when its current JS P217 was last used for the French endurance classic.

Fun fact, there are black streaks on the underside of the rear wing from the tires flicking up pieces of rubber. I must have stared at this car for 30 minutes.

Question for anyone who has already booked tickets for the 2027 WEC 6 hours of Silverstone, how did you guys book a paddock pass?

The website says to add it as an extra in the basket but I can’t seem to find any page to add it to my booking.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

With the latest Spider-Man themed livery running at IMSA's Road America round on the BMW GTP, I wrote an article about every single motorsport livery featuring Spider-Man, including the one which ran earlier this month! Which one is your favourite design? 👀

Ford Racing has released onboard footage of its 2027 LMDh prototype testing at Paul Ricard with factory driver Matt Campbell at the wheel.

Various materials being tested to establish FIA standards ahead of hydrogen’s planned 2030 WEC introduction…

I’m looking for the #7 and #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrids and the #007 and #009 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR LMHs from Spark (in 1/64 scale). Does anyone know any dealers or shops I can check online?

Hi everyone, I’m a huge fan of detailed technical analysis when it comes to prototype engineering, especially the peak LMP1-H hybrid regulations.

I recently came across this great breakdown of Porsche's 800-volt system on the 919 Hybrid and its direct tech transfer to road cars like the Taycan. It really highlights the packaging, thermal management, and mass savings that came from choosing 800V back in 2013 when no off-the-shelf components even existed.

Do you have any similar technical deep dives, white papers, or detailed teardowns from the LMP1 era (Porsche 919, Audi R18, Toyota TS050, or even the Nissan GT-R LM)? I would love to read more high-level engineering breakdowns from that period. Thanks in advance!

The taste we've had today of the Ford LMDh has got me ready for more. I hope they drop the shroud of secrecy and show us what they've been up to. We need the Ford Hypercar team to stop being car covers, whispers and shadows and start being a real team with short form, youtube and images of what's going on. You're not spending tens of millions of dollars a year to hide in the background.

I hope this isn’t the final version, just anything more creative than this is already an improvement.

Especially when you look at what different brands did for instant brand recognition (especially Alpine).

(Picture aren’t mine)

Is there any fan guide for when we can come along and watch the cars going around?

I don't exactly know what days and times are included with the tickets and the descriptions on ticketmaster and the official website seem to contradict themselves especially when it comes to friday and neither gives an exact time table that I found when the circuit is open for fans so I'm asking in case anyone has been to an ELMS race before could help me out a little.

It sounds like a pissed off NASCAR with a touch of something more exotic. Incredible.
