- The Valkyrie’s Roar in Qatar: All eyes are on the season opener in Qatar next month. The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH has completed its final winter testing.

- Genesis LMDh Development: Following the official announcement late last year, Hyundai’s luxury brand Genesis has begun wind-tunnel testing for their 2027 entry. January reports suggest they are scouting top-tier talent from the current WEC paddock to lead their driver lineup for their debut next season.
- The 24 Hours of Daytona (IMSA) Kickoff: Happening later this month (Jan 24-25), the Rolex 24 at Daytona serves as the unofficial “prologue” for the WEC season. Watch for the performance of the updated Lamborghini SC63, which is looking for a reliability breakthrough before the global WEC tour begins.
