Prototype Racing

Prototype Racing is a premier form of motorsport featuring purpose-built race cars designed specifically for competition, rather than modified production vehicles available to consumers.

These cutting-edge machines serve as technological test beds where manufacturers develop and showcase innovations that may eventually reach street cars. Prototype race cars are characterized by their advanced aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and exceptional performance capabilities.

Prototype Racing is most prominently featured in endurance events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and championships such as the FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA SportsCar Championship. Major classes include Le Mans Hypercar (LMH), Le Mans Prototype (LMP), and Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), each with specific regulations governing their design and performance.
