Competing in endurance races at tracks like Daytona and Le Man is considered one of the upper-echelons of motorsports, eclipsed only by Formula 1, and even then there is room for debate as an F1 race takes about 2 hours and a Le Man endurance race can take 12 times as long. Even the cars are not separated by much, Le Man prototype cars are in some ways even more impressive than F1 cars as they can go for a whole day and only stop for gas, tires, and driver changes.
Anyway, BMW is set to compete in the 2023 IMSA GTP class of the WeatherTech SportsCar season (part endurance racing, part sports car racing) with their new BMW M Hybrid V8 race car. And with any new race car, you need a new racing engine.
