What to look out for in WEC 2025
Aside from Aston Martin’s arrival, the 2025 World Endurance Championship campaign has plenty of focus points to keep an eye out for
Cadillac has been the big underachiever in the World Endurance Championship over the past two seasons. It has just one podium, notched up at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2023, to show for its efforts. That’s a pretty paltry haul given how quick its V-Series.R LMDh has been. Don’t forget that the car won the inaugural GTP title in the 2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship.
The Caddy was the fourth quickest contender in Hypercar last season, and probably higher up the pecking order in qualifying - witness Alex Lynn’s run of top fours between Spa and his pole in Fuji. Yet Ganassi’s solo full-season entry ended up with only a couple of fourths, one of which at Qatar was lost to a homologation infringement.

Gary Watkins has, for reasons best known to himself, devoted all his working life to covering sportscar racing. This season is his 33rd as a motorsport journalist, during which time he has reported on major long-distance events on four continents and approaching 80 24-hour races. He reckons a degree in political philosophy makes him well qualified for covering the sometimes Machiavellian world of international sportscars.
Gary, who also writes for Motor Sport, Autocourse, RACER and others, lives in Surbiton close to the former workshops of the Cooper Formula 1 team but spends more time on the road than at home for most of the year.
