Welcome to DIVEBOMB's LIVE coverage of the World Endurance Championship finale, the 8 Hours of Bahrain. Both Hypercar and LMGT3 championships will be decided today, with the race getting underway at 10:00 GMT.

The final race of the year is set to be a thriller, with Toyota looking back on form with a 1-2 in qualifying, and championship contenders scattered up and down the grid.

Tyre wear will be the phrase of the day, the start of the race will be under the beaming sunshine, so overheating will be a problem, paired alongside the very abrasive surface on the Bahrain International Circuit.

Stayed tuned to this page for LIVE updates on everything that will go on today around the 5.4 km circuit.
