Thankfully the powers that be who govern motorsport were sensible this year, no Grand Prix clashes with Le Mans, so while Formula 1 takes a much-needed weekend off, we can focus our attention on the world’s greatest Endurance Race this weekend being billed as the Race of the Century.
Round 4 of the 2023 World Endurance Championship (WEC) takes place this weekend with its flagship event taking center stage this week and the weekend ahead, the centenary of the Le Mans 24 Hours on 10 and 11 June, and in it to win are some of the sport’s most iconic names battling it out for top honours.
Although the playground of a dominant Toyota team for the past several years, the advent of Ferrari, Porsche, Cadillac and Peugeot have rejuvenated the WEC with plenty more to come.
For the week ahead, welcome to our coverage of the great racing event, the fourth round of the 2023 FIA WEC World Endurance Championship. Fans keen not to miss any of the action can watch it on television, follow it on social media or use the official App.
