  • Cybersecurity firm becomes eighth company to join WEC’s premium partnership tier
  • CrowdStrike already title sponsors the 24 Hours of Spa, part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge

The World Endurance Championship (WEC) has agreed a global partnership with cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike.

The strategic partnership, which also includes a specific deal with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, sees CrowdStrike join the endurance racing championship as a premium partner.

This deal will also see WEC leverage CrowdStrike’s expertise in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven cybersecurity.

WEC has now expanded the premium tier of its partnership portfolio to eight brands. CrowdStrike joins Rolex, TotalEnergies, Michelin, DHL, Goodyear, Motul and Bosch.

This also deepens CrowdStrike’s involvement in motorsport after the company’s founder George Kurtz acquired a minority stake in the Mercedes Formula One team in November 2025. CrowdStrike was already a global partner of the team.

CrowdStrike Racing also competes in the Asian Le Mans Series and has been invited to compete in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Elsewhere, the company is heavily involved with SRO Motorsports Group, which organises many sportscar championships. CrowdStrike has been a partner for the past eight seasons and holds the naming rights to the 24 Hours of Spa.
