WEC Gears Up for Spa 6 Hours with Driver Shuffles and Tech Upgrades

Rainy Spa-Francorchamps sets the stage for the TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa as WEC teams prep with driver debuts and schedule-driven shifts: van der Linde and Vanthoor return with BMW Team WRT, Aitken and Barrichello also join after IMSA duties, and Louis Deletraz makes his Hypercar debut in the No. 12 Cadillac. With Qatar’s race timing compressing Le Mans prep, teams emphasize cross-program data between BMW’s GTP and Hypercar efforts, while hydrogen-technology discussions and the FIAWEC+ app expand fan access at Spa.
