After seven races, the WEC championship season comes to its conclusion this weekend with the Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain, where the manufacturers’ and drivers’ champions will be decided.
Following a dominant run at the beginning of the season, Ferrari tops the manufacturer’s championship with 204 points, with Porsche and Cadillac behind and still within contention of the crown heading into Bahrain.
Ferrari were only able to secure a single point last time out in Fuji, won by Alpine, whereas Porsche tightened the gap on the championship leaders, taking home 27 points in the Japanese race ahead of their final race in the championship.
Similarly, Ferrari occupies the top two positions in the drivers’ championship, headed by the #51 works car, driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi and James Calado, on 115 points. Ferrari’s privateer #83, driven by Philip Hanson, Robert Kubica and Yifei Ye, find themselves 13 points behind on 102 points.
Porsche’s Kevin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor round out the top three on 94 points, 21 points behind the current points leaders.
So, with both championships still on the line for the season finale, what is the weather expected to be like in Bahrain for the season finale? According to the Met Office, it is unsurprisingly expected to be a dry and sunny event.
Thursday
The opening day of the weekend is expected to be sunny with highs of 31° and lows of 17°. There is a slight chance of rain with 10% early on but it will reduce as the day progresses.
Friday
Again, it is expected to be a sunny and dry day for the second day of action in Bahrain, with highs of 31° and low temperatures of 16°. Unlike Thursday, the chance of rain remains low with less than a 5% chance of rain.
Saturday
Race day is forecast to be sunny with highs of 30° and lows of 18°, and with a very low chance of rain, standing at less than 5%.
