Porsche took control of the new World Endurance Championship campaign by dominating the Qatar opener, but there are multiple factors that point towards a repeat being very unlikely at Imola
Porsche pretty much dominated at the World Endurance Championship season-opener in Qatar back in March. The German manufacturer’s 963 LMDh led all bar 52 of the 355 laps on the way to blocking out the podium positions. But there’s every reason to expect that it is going to have more of a fight on its hands second time out for the Hypercar field in 2024 this weekend in Imola. Porsche certainly thinks so. It is not expecting its domination to continue in Sunday’s Imola 6 Hours.
Toyota pointed out that a heavier car will have a tendency to slide more, particularly when the tyres are cold. Which brings us back to the graining. There have been across-the-board reductions in minimum weight and maximum power in Hypercar for Imola, at least for the existing machinery. Only Peugeot will go to the grid with a heavier car than in Qatar.
