36 entries: 10 LMP1, 10 LMGTE Pro, 7 LMP2 and 9 LMGTE Am, 8 races, 90 hours of racing = 1 Super Season!

Who's who and what's what...in LMP1 Take a look in more detail at the 10 LMP1 entrants for the WEC Super Season, the top category led by Toyota Gazoo Racing’s two TS050 HYBRIDS. There is huge variety on offer, with none of the six teams choosing to run with the same chassis/engine combination. The LMP1 cars will all be Michelin-shod for the Super Season, but powered by five different engine suppliers including Toyota. Gibson, Nismo, Mecachrome and AER.

Who's who and what's what in LMGTE Pro  Boosted by the FIA World Endurance Championship titles for GTE Drivers and Manufacturers, the competition in the LMGTE Pro class will be hotter and tighter than ever with the addition of BMW to the ranks.

Who's who and what's what in LMP2 The LMP2 grid will consist of seven entries but, in contrast to last year, there are three different chassis constructors represented through the ORECA 07, Dallara P217 and Ligier JSP217.

Who's who and what's what in LMGTE Am  The LMGTE Am class features three different brands among the nine entries, the number being a significant boost compared to previous seasons. The split is between Aston Martin (2), Ferrari (3) and Porsche (4) and more about the 8 different teams can be found.
