GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LILOU WADOUX secures her second chance behind the wheel of Ferrari’s 499P LMH car for the WEC rookie test following the 8 Hours of Bahrain. This isn’t her first rodeo with top-tier machinery – she previously tested the same Ferrari at Bahrain in 2023 and got a taste of Toyota’s GR010 Hybrid the year before that.
  • The 26-car entry list reveals a competitive Hypercar field with 12 entries, though notably missing Porsche Penske Motorsport’s factory effort. Instead, we get Proton Competition’s privateer 963 with Dorian Boccolacci at the helm, while the usual suspects from Cadillac, BMW, Peugeot, and Toyota fill out the premium slots.
  • LMGT3 brings 14 cars to the test with some intriguing storylines brewing. Alexander West gets seat time in Garage 59’s McLaren ahead of their takeover of the LMGT3 program from United Autosports, while several drivers position themselves for upcoming seasons including Anthony McIntosh’s move to Team WRT for the Asian Le Mans Series.

UPCOMING:

  • WEC Rookie Test – Bahrain International Circuit
  • Asian Le Mans Series Season Opener – Malaysia
