However, small changes to the sporting regulations have been
made since the WEC was first presented.
FIA have recently decided to slightly modify the initial rules to
add suspense and make the new world championship even more exciting
for the 2012 season.
In the manufacturers' classification of the top LMP1 category
only the best-placed vehicle of one automobile manufacturer will
score championship points. In addition, only the results of six of
the eight races - including the Le Mans 24 Hours for which the
points awarded are doubled - will be counted.
In the 2012 WEC Audi's main rival for the World Champion's title
will be Toyota.
