It wasnāt a great season for F1. The majority of the races were dull, largely uneventful and predictable. The FIA WEC, on the other hand, enjoyed a brilliant, action-packed year, full of memorable moments and great racing. Hereās what was awesome about the series in 2015:

Hybrid makes WEC better, but really has no place in Formula 1. And the racing is just simply better in WEC. Although there is hope for a Ferrari/Mercedes battle next season! The only thing I would wish for is better sound and more exciting engines from the LKMP1 cars. V4 engines or V6 diesel? Sorry, but thatās the only part that doesnāt excite me about WEC.
Yes Wec was so much betterā¦ oh cāmon, when you have 6 hours per race, a million cars per race, itās only normal you have more action, but the fact that it is 6 hours just makes it a big turn off
17( No wining on the radio about other drivers
Well I think the best championship is the blancpain gt series, this year was soo exiting!
#9 A Ferrari catching fire is surprising?
This is so making me miss the WEC. Too many special moments, my only complain is that thereās just one 24hrsā¦
Very nice post. It was great to watch those epic battles again. Letās hope for more great battles in 2016

#17 because Mark Webber
