Review World Endurance Championship 2028

Seventeen seasons at the heart of the World Endurance Championship

Created in 2012 by the FIA and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the FIA World Endurance Championship reshaped the international endurance racing landscape. As the successor to the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, the championship brought major manufacturers, private teams and leading endurance specialists together from its first season, around an international calendar centred on the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The inaugural season saw Audi take the championship with the R18 e-tron quattro, while Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer and Benoît Tréluyer became the first World Endurance Champions. Since 2012, the FIA WEC has gone through several generations of prototypes, major regulatory changes and the arrival of new manufacturers that have progressively strengthened competition.

Review World Endurance Championship 2028 documents the 2028 season session by session while bringing together the results from the seventeen seasons covered by the book, from 2012 to 2028. This dual approach makes it possible to follow the latest season in detail while preserving a historical archive that traces the development of the championship across more than a decade and a half.

Audi, Toyota, Porsche, Ferrari, Peugeot, Alpine, Cadillac, BMW, Aston Martin, Ford and other manufacturers have all played important roles during different periods of the FIA WEC. The drivers and crews who have won championships and major endurance classics are equally important to this history, as are the different categories that have evolved through successive regulations.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans occupies a central place in this archive. Around the French endurance classic, the championship has developed an international calendar featuring circuits including Spa-Francorchamps, Sebring, Fuji, Bahrain, São Paulo, Imola and the Circuit of The Americas. These venues provide different challenges for endurance teams and offer a way to compare the performance of successive generations of racing cars.

The recent period has been particularly significant for the FIA WEC with the development of the Hypercar category and the arrival of numerous manufacturers. The introduction of the LMGT3 class has also expanded the field and strengthened the connection between prototype racing and Grand Touring cars. This diversity has become one of the defining characteristics of the modern championship.

Review World Endurance Championship 2028 brings these different dimensions together in a single archive: practice sessions, qualifying, Hyperpole, races, results, drivers, crews, teams, manufacturers, categories, circuits and statistics. The book allows readers to find a race or season, compare a manufacturer’s performances, follow a crew or place a result within the wider historical development of the championship.

Like the other Reviews in the Red Books collection, this book is not simply a journalistic account of the season. It is designed as a physical, structured and lasting archive, preserving the essential data from the history of the FIA WEC.

With Review World Endurance Championship 2028, the collection now covers seventeen FIA World Endurance Championship seasons, from 2012 to 2028, while adding another detailed season to an archive designed to continue growing.

Seventeen seasons. Hundreds of races. Leading manufacturers, drivers and crews. Prototypes and GT cars. An archive of the World Endurance Championship, with the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the heart of its history.
