GT3 Needs Rethink for 2030 WEC Refresh

SRO Motorsports Group CEO Stephane Ratel has called for a rethink of the GT3 platform in preparation for the WEC's 2030 Hypercar refresh, despite currently healthy participation levels.

SRO Motorsports Group founder and CEO Stephane Ratel has stirred debate within GT3 racing by suggesting the platform needs reconsideration in line with the WEC's upcoming 2030 Hypercar refresh. While current GT3 grids remain healthy across all championships, Ratel and his working group have been grappling with underlying issues facing the GT3 machinery.

The comments, made during the recent Spa 24 Hours, indicate that even with no immediate threat of declining participation, forward-thinking preparation is necessary for the sport's evolution. Ratel's stance suggests that proactive changes may be needed to ensure GT3 racing remains relevant and competitive alongside the next generation of Hypercars. raccoongame.org
