2020: Hypercars at Le Mans
It started out as a rumor early this year but some time before Le Mans both ACO and FIA confirmed. We’re really going to have hypercars at La Sarthe and other WEC races! So from 2020 onward, we won’t have LMP1 as the top WEC class. The video above succinctly explains what this new class is about.
I’m really excited about this because this new category kind of reminds me of the glorious Group 5 (“silhouette racing”) era and all the g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s cars that we had.

Spark × Brumm: the 917K case
This was a new record for me: just three months between me buying a model and getting the upgrade. Well, in my defense, I had no idea the upgrade was coming out at the time. And for the money I have to say model-wise this was not a fantastic upgrade.

Porsche at Le Mans – 1971
Unfortunately only in German, but if you’re a 917 nut like me, and manage 13 minutes of spare time, watch it. It’s totally worth it! I was blown away by the amount of fabrication that they did in the pits. At one moment you can see the JWA team fitting a nose to the car by adding fiberglass – so it was not just a bolt-on job.
After watching the 2019 race, it’s really bizarre to see how things were done back then.
