REGISTER HERE WELCOME TO THE SRO WEC 2024 CHAMPIONSHIP This championship is based on the FIA WEC 2024 championship. All the tracks used are from the official WEC 2024 season. The FIA WEC has a new class structure for 2024. After cutting down from four classes in 2022 to three in 2023, the LMP2 category has now been removed for 2024. In its place is a straight two-class format, Hypercar and LMGT3. HYPERCAR What makes the Hypercar class so successful? The ruleset, accommodating cars built to LMH and LMDh technical regulations, represents a major shift in philosophy compared with the LMP1 class it replaced. It allows for far greater variety both in terms of technical approaches as well as the aesthetics of the cars, at the same time ensuring sporting equality and preventing cost escalation through the concept of performance windows. Technical Regulations are focused on controlling performance outcome instead of setting design or geometrical restrictions, allowing manufacturers to choose cost-effective solutions as significant expenditures do not translate to performance gains. This autonomy allows the automakers not only to replicate brand identity, maintaining the spirit of the brand and remaining relevant to their road car philosophy, but also to express true potential in terms of creativity and innovation. Less rigid aerodynamic constraints established for the cars give them the option to incorporate styling elements to the design. Dimensions Minimum weight: 1030 KG Balance of Performance: Guaranteed level playing field Maximum output: 500 kW Number panels: Pantone red 653 Single tyre manufacturer: Michelin Controlled costs: Budget reduced Le Mans lap time: Estimated race average at 3:30.00 LMGT3 The new-for-2024 GT class will be based around FIA's existing GT3 technical platform and will focus on gentlemen drivers and private teams. LMGT3 will replace cars built to LMGTE technical regulations that have been on the WEC grid since the series' inaugural season in 2012. The cars will feature several WEC-specific adaptations such as luminescent number panels and leader lights.

Just found this on the forum, I still lurk around seeing whats going on... you guys do like long races here! I need something to try out and learn more in rF2, this will give me something to practise around.
I know the hypercars should have regen and deployment settings especially as rF2 has alot of these inbuilt from supporting Formula E officially but it feels like these cars are just petrol powered in game as theres no obvious energy levels. MAybe i'm just spoiled by LMU...
Mark we also typically run 45 min races for rF2 usually on a Tuesday and a 60 min race on Sundays, normally on a bi-weekly basis, but for this summer we have spread them out a bit more to account for SRO Admin availability, holidays etc.
Unfortuneatly your start times dont work for me during the week and my motivation for a race every 3- 4 weeks isnt high. You do run some eclectic combos at times which havent really appealed tbh. Plus rF2 still feels a bit strange to me. Still trying to get the FFB to my liking. The GT4 and the Le mans sereris are the first that have really appealed.
