2023 FIA World Endurance Championship season | |
Previous: 2022 | Next: 2024 |
The 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship will be the eleventh season of the FIA World Endurance Championship, an auto racing series organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). The series is open to prototype and grand tourer-style racing cars divided into three categories. World Championship titles will be awarded to the leading manufacturers and drivers in both the prototype and grand tourer divisions.
It is the first season in which LMDh (Le Mans Daytona h) entries will be allowed to compete in the Hypercar category for championship points alongside LMH (Le Mans Hypercar) entries, after being permitted on a race-by-race basis in 2022.[1] Upon the discontinuation of LMGTE Pro, LMGTE Am remains as the sole GT class in 2023, although it will be replaced after the 2023 season.[2] After being introduced for the 2021 season the LMP2 Pro-Am Cup was also dropped.
