More about the FIA World Endurance Championship!
It has been four years since the WEC last raced at COTA with the last event taking place in February 2020. Now the WEC is back with 13 global manufacturers including three American marques (Cadillac, Corvette and Ford). Attendees will see a total of 18 Hypercars and 18 LMGT3 cars battle it out on the Texan circuit.
The entry list includes double WEC category winner Ben Keating. Hailing from Texas, Keating operates his hugely-successful auto dealership field out of the state. He has yet to drive the black and gold Ford Mustang but has a strong track record at the circuit having won three of the last four races held there in IMSA’s GTD class.
Alongside Keating, there will be two other American drivers for the home fans to support: Ian James and Ryan Hardwick.
