The FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) is an endurance auto racing series administered by the governing body of motorsport, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and co-organised and promoted by the automotive group, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO).[1] There were two types of car called Le Mans Prototype (LMP) and Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance (LMGTE) divided into four classes when the WEC began in 2012: Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance Pro (LMGTE Pro) and Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance Am (LMGTE Am).[2] The Le Mans Hypercar (Hypercar) category was introduced in the 2021 season to replace the LMP1 class and the Le Mans Daytona Hybrid (LMDh) cars were introduced in the 2022 championship.[3] The LMGTE Pro class was discontinued after the 2022 championship while the LMP2 and LMGTE Am categories were dropped following the 2023 season. The LMGT3 category based on GT3 machinery replaced LMGTE Am and joined the Hypercar class in a revised two full-season class structure from the 2024 season.[4][5]

The series awards international championships, cups, and trophies to the most successful drivers, teams, and manufacturers in each of the series' categories over the course of a season. Points are awarded based on individual race results as well as for earning pole position in qualifying, with the highest tally of points winning the respective championship, cup, or trophy. The highest awards in the series are the FIA World Endurance Drivers' Championship and the FIA World Endurance Manufacturers' Championship, both of which centre around participants in the Hypercar category.[6] The champions are not officially crowned until the FIA Prize Giving Ceremony held in December following the conclusion of the WEC season.[7][8]

As of the 2024 season, 87 drivers have won a WEC title. There have been 22 overall World Drivers' Champions and six LMP1 Private Drivers' Trophy winners.[9] Sébastien Buemi and Brendon Hartley, with four victories, have won the most overall World Drivers' Championships. Timo Bernhard, Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and José María López each have two titles. Toyota have won the most overall World Manufacturers' and Drivers' Championships with seven.[10] Of the 25 drivers to win an LMP2 title, Julien Canal and Nicolas Lapierre hold the record for the most Drivers' Championships in the category with two. From the nine LMP2 Endurance Trophy for Teams winners, Signatech Alpine have earned the most titles with two. 30 drivers have won a LMGTE title in either the Pro or Am categories. James Calado, Alessandro Pier Guidi, François Perrodo and Marco Sørensen have achieved the most LMGTE Drivers' titles in any category with three and Ferrari have won the most LMGTE World Manufacturers and Cup titles with seven.[9][11][12]

World Championships

World Endurance Drivers' Championship

Held since the inception of the series, the Drivers' Championship was initially open to all participants in the FIA World Endurance Championship.[13] This was altered for the 2013 season with the introduction of the FIA World Endurance Cup for GT Drivers as well as the FIA Endurance Trophies for LMP2 and LMGTE Am drivers.[14] The Drivers' Championship was then limited to participants in the LMP1 and LMP2 categories, although LMP2 drivers and privately entered LMP1 drivers are also eligible for their own FIA Trophies.[15] LMDh drivers were not eligible to accumulate points in the 2022 season since they could only participate on a race-by-race basis.[16]

World Endurance GT Drivers' Championship

The World Endurance Cup for GT Drivers was created in 2013 to give LMGTE drivers their own title separate from the World Drivers' Championship, before being promoted to World Championship status in 2017.[14][29] Drivers in both the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am categories were eligible for the overall championship, although LMGTE Am drivers are also eligible for their own FIA Trophy.[15]

World Manufacturers' Championship

The Manufacturers' Championship has been exclusive to LMP1 entries supported by major automotive manufacturers.[30] Points were awarded to the leading car from each manufacturer until the 2014 season when the top two finishers from each manufacturer were eligible for points. In 2014 the LMP1 class was also divided, with manufacturers limited solely to the LMP1-H category.[31] For the 2012 season, only the scores from six events counted towards the championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans plus the five best race results over the season.[30]

Following the 2017 season the Manufacturers' Championship was dropped due to a lack of manufacturer competition in LMP1. A new LMP1 World Championship was created to be awarded to teams instead.[32][33] For the 2022 season, the championship format was changed from teams to manufacturers. LMDh competitors were ineligible for championship points because they were only permitted to enter on a race-by-race basis.[16]

Hypercar World Endurance Championship

With a lack of manufacturers in the LMP1 championship for the 2018–19 season, a new World Championship was created to be awarded to LMP1 teams in place of the former manufacturers' championship. Unlike the manufacturers' championship, only the top scoring car from each team is eligible to score points.[32][33] With Hypercar replacing LMP1 as the top class in the WEC for the 2021 season, this was changed to the Hypercar competitor who scored the greatest amount of points after considering the results of their best placed car in the overall classification of each race in the 2021 season.[6]

As with the World Endurance GT Drivers' Championship, the World Endurance Cup for GT Manufacturers was elevated to World Championship status in 2017.[14][29] The championship is open to all manufacturers participating in the LMGTE categories, although only manufacturers who competed in the whole season are eligible for points. All teams from the manufacturers entered for the entire season are eligible for points. The top two finishers, regardless of category, were awarded points toward the championship.[15]

Trophies

LMP1 Private Teams Drivers' Trophy

The FIA Trophy for the drivers of private entries in the LMP1 category was created in 2014 to award non-manufacturer entries.[36] It was awarded to the highest-placed LMP1 privateer squad that entered a car that did not feature hybrid technology from 2015 onward.[37] Due to a lack of privateer LMP1 entries in 2017, the trophy was not awarded before eventually being dropped altogether.[38]

Endurance Trophy for Private LMP1 Teams

A teams title was not held for manufacturers in the LMP1 category, instead a Trophy was awarded to privately entered LMP1 teams. Note that points in this Trophy were awarded solely on the finishing position of private LMP1 entries, with manufacturer entries not included. Although teams may have earned points for a win in the Trophy, they did not score a win in the overall LMP1 standings.[43] Due to a lack of privateer LMP1 entries in 2017, the trophy was not awarded before being dropped altogether.[38]
