WEC goes for hypercars; Aston Martin and Toyota confirmed

It’s real, dawgs. Hypercars will become the top class in endurance racing.

This new setup will be based on either new hypercar models or existing road cars, will be hellaciously slower than current/outgoing LMP1 rules, and are still governed by balance patches. Hybrid power, however, still remains.

Which is, admittedly, quite boring as a sport, but with Toyota and Señor Glickenhaus pretty much guaranteed to be part of these new rules and Aston Martin potentially showing up come 2020/2021, I am happy that we finally have this kind of solution.
