Ranking the top 10 Hypercar drivers of the 2024 WEC
From a mesmerising pole lap at Le Mans to drivers taking cars that were not necessarily frontrunners to the brink of the podium, there were no shortage of impressive performances in the World Endurance Championship's Hypercar ranks this year. Here are the racers who stood out the most
With the World Endurance Championship's Hypercar class bulging to 19 cars for 2024, there were plenty of impressive performances during the course of the season.
And it was not only drivers in the Porsches, Ferraris and Toyotas at the front of the field who starred, as there were also stand-out results from those whose machinery was not quite so competitive.

Gary Watkins has, for reasons best known to himself, devoted all his working life to covering sportscar racing. This season is his 33rd as a motorsport journalist, during which time he has reported on major long-distance events on four continents and approaching 80 24-hour races. He reckons a degree in political philosophy makes him well qualified for covering the sometimes Machiavellian world of international sportscars.
Gary, who also writes for Motor Sport, Autocourse, RACER and others, lives in Surbiton close to the former workshops of the Cooper Formula 1 team but spends more time on the road than at home for most of the year.
