FIA WEC S12 - Qatar 1812km

The 12th season of the FIA World Endurance Championship is unlike the WEC the world knows because this season has been streamlined to two classes; the Hypercar class and the all-new LMGT3 class. With Lamborghini joining in the Hypercar fun, the all-new LMGT3 class adds more fire and fury to this season.

The 12th WEC season kicked off with the Qatar Airways Qatar 1812km endurance race, the ideal litmus test for the new and returning Hypercar machines as well as the all-new LMGT3 machines from the world's top carmakers.

Porsche made headlines in the season opener as not only the #6 Porsche Penske 963 nailed its first WEC Hypercar win but also the #92 Manthey PureRXCing 911 GT3 R in the new LMGT3 class. A double victory for the German marque in the season opener.

The next race is the 6 Hours of Imola this April 21st.
