The Balance of Performance graph essentially tells the entire story: the BMW M Hybrid V8 stagnated during the 2025 World Endurance Championship. A very strong start to the season was followed by a bitter Le Mans and a disappointing second half of the year.
In its second season in the Hypercar class, WRT’s goal was to score at least one win. That target was not achieved, leaving BMW (and Acura, which is not entered in the WEC) as the only LMDh manufacturer yet to achieve a Hypercar victory.
