In a dramatic turn of events, rising motorsport star Jack Hawksworth is set to make his LMGT3 debut at the iconic Le Mans 24 Hours, replacing the injured Mike Conway in the Toyota lineup and joining the Akkodis ASP team. The reigning IMSA GTD Pro champion’s valuable experience in Lexus machinery will be crucial as the WEC embraces the GT3 formula for 2023.

In an exclusive interview, D’Station Racing driver Erwan Bastard expressed his concerns about the relationship between Hypercar and LMGT3 cars in the 2023 FIA WEC season, citing incidents caused by contact from Hypercar machinery. Bastard believes Hypercar drivers often expect LMGT3 cars to yield, which is not always possible, leading to dangerous situations on track.
