The manufacturer stars of the 2017 WEC

A depleted LMP1 field actually makes it tougher to narrow down to the elite few performers, while the raging GTE Pro battle allowed several drivers to shine.

Though the spotlight was on the depleted LMP1 field in 2017, the well-stocked GTE ranks meant the World Endurance Championship enjoyed competition from six manufacturers across two classes this season.

Toyota took plenty of race-by-race headlines in the 2017 World Endurance Championship season but it was Porsche that collected all the big prizes on offer in LMP1. Amazing consistency allowed Ferrari to come back from Le Mans 24 Hours despair to take both GT crowns, while there were star turns within its Aston Martin, Porsche and Ford rivals.
