This year I am more interested in the WEC than in F1, although it has the BOP, I find the WEC much more attractive today than F1, plus the fact that there are so few races compared to F1. It makes the expectation in each of them grow. Also for a motorsport fan, seeing different engines, twin turbo, single turbo, different displacements, all-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, different sounds, make today the Championship chosen by the Brands to participate in. Even in 2025 we will hear a V12 on the tracks in a TOP FIA category!!! This is unbeatable!

In part i agree. Mostly with the class gathering on yellows. At the start of the night Peugeot had almost a minute of advantage in the leading, with the chance of the faster Toyotas, Ferraris and Caddys to catch up if conditions on the track improved (it rained, that gave some advantage to the Peugeots), after the 7 Toyota crash, thanks to the class merge, all that advantage was lost, allowing the other teams to surpass the Peugeot and leaving them in fourth place very quickly, forcing them to try to keep up ending in the crash at the first chicane, plus ending their chances. What if those new merging rules wouldn't had happen?. The night in LM last year was amazing but it could had been better if the Peugeot mantained the advantage and the others worked hard to catch up. Instead of two brands it could had ended with four brands battling for the win in the morning hours.
