A combination of lower costs, particularly when compared to the LMP1 era of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and the chance to race the same car in two major series have proven key factors in luring manufacturers back to the top class of the WEC (simply known now as 'Hypercar') and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (where the equivalent class is called 'GTP').

主流制造商正在紛紛回歸兩大耐力賽事-WEC以及IMSA。這都要感謝新規(guī)則下，相比于過去LMP1時(shí)代大幅下降的參賽成本，同時(shí)各廠商用一輛車就可在兩大賽事同時(shí)角逐榮譽(yù)，吸引力不言而喻。

Before we proceed to the list of marques, it's worth reiterating the differences between LMDh and LMH regulations.

在我們列出參賽清單時(shí)，有必要重新回顧下LMDh和LMH在規(guī)則上的不同。

LMDh is essentially a successor to the successful DPi platform IMSA introduced in 2017. As was the case previously, manufacturers must base their new designs upon a next-generation LMP2 chassis, of which there are four licensed constructors: Oreca, Dallara, Ligier and Multimatic.

LMDh是IMSA在2017年引入的DPi賽車的正統(tǒng)繼承者。和大獲成功的前任一樣，LMDh的賽車設(shè)計(jì)必須基于新一代LMP2賽車底盤，目前一共有四家符合標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的制造商：Oreca，Dallara，Ligier和Multimatic。

Engine choice remains free within the scope of regulations, but all cars must now be fitted with a spec hybrid system built jointly by Bosch (inverter), Williams Advanced Engineering (motor) and Xtrac (gearbox).

引擎方面，只要符合規(guī)則，各家可以自由選擇自己的內(nèi)燃機(jī)型號(hào)，但每輛車都需要配備一套由博世，威廉姆斯，和Xtrac聯(lián)合開發(fā)的混動(dòng)系統(tǒng)。

LMH, on the other hand, offers a lot more freedom to manufacturers, allowing them to build a car from scratch - albeit within a certain performance window - that matches the design language of their brand. A hybrid system, which can be designed and built by the manufacturer itself, is optional.

另一邊，LMH給了各大廠商更多的自由度。在規(guī)則框架下，賽車可以從頭到尾自行研發(fā)，來凸顯不同的設(shè)計(jì)語言。就連混動(dòng)系統(tǒng)，廠商都可以選擇自行開發(fā)。

Cars built to either of the two sets of regulations can compete in both WEC and IMSA from 2023, including their respective flagship races, the Le Mans 24 Hours and Rolex 24 at Daytona. LMH cars made their debut back in 2021 while the first LMDh cars are expected to race on both sides of the Atlantic from next year, beginning with the Daytona enduro.

不管是各種規(guī)則下誕生的賽車，都可以在2023賽季參加WEC和IMSA的比賽，包括兩者各自的旗艦賽事：勒芒24小時(shí)和戴通納24小時(shí)。LMH賽車早在2021年就完成了首秀，而LMDh賽車則要等到下賽季的戴通納才能揭開面紗，飛馳在大西洋兩岸。
