What is the minimum duration of an Endurance race?
The minimum duration of an Endurance race is four hours for all events in the Asian Le Mans Series and the European Le Mans Series. For races at a higher level, that is to say in WEC (world endurance championship) and IMSA, they range from six to 24 hours for the most demanding, such as Daytona (United States), the NĂĽrburgring (Germany), and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the jewel of the WEC.
What is the difference between Hypercar and LM P2?
The two prototypes are distinguished by different regulations. Moreover, between the two, only the Hypercar category is considered a world endurance championship in its own right, with the LM P2 champion winning the Endurance Trophy in WEC. Each team entered in Hypercar must develop and build its own Hypercar, whether LMH or LMDh, while the LMP2 teams obtain their supplies from a service provider: Oreca, Ligier, Duqueine or Ginetta depending on the championships (WEC, ELMS, IMSA, etc.). The Hypercar is the more powerful and robust of the two.
What are the characteristics of the Endurance race?
Endurance is characterized by races lasting several hours. In this context, the drivers take turns at the wheel. Everyone has a minimum amount of time behind the wheel depending on their status. Due to its specificity, endurance races are not counted in laps but by the clock. Once it has finished, the driver behind the wheel of the car currently leading the general classification must complete a final loop to validate and conclude the race. Unlike F1, there is no fixed starting grid, but a launched start behind the Safety Car. The maximum racing time is 24 hours, like the 24 hours of Le Mans, the flagship event of the WEC (world endurance championship).
What is a Silver driver?
A Silver driver, or Silver, is an amateur endurance driver meeting certain FIA criteria. He must be under 30 years old and not meet the criteria for Platinum and Gold categorizations. This status rewards drivers who have had a good result in the championship during regional or national events or during series for non-professional drivers. A pace deemed high enough for a bronze driver can also be rewarded with promotion to Silver.
