Win on Sunday, buy on Monday

Endurance racing’s top tier will soon introduce rules allowing prototype racers to be more closely related to road-going cars. From 2020, the World Endurance Championship will mandate ‘sleeker prototypes with more marque cachet’ – think hybrid-engined Aston Martin Valkyries, Mclaren BP23S and Mercedes-benz Project Ones all banging doors around famous circuits such as Fuji, Le Mans, the Nurburgring, Monza, Spa and Silverstone. It will also likely be the first time since the Mclaren F1 won Le Mans in 1995 that you can buy a showroom version of the race winner.
