The WEC has replaced its GTE Am division for 2024 with LMGT3, marking a significant change in philosophy as the new breed of cars are equipped with ABS that makes them easier for amateur drivers to handle than their GTE predecessors.
As before, all line-ups in LMGT3 must feature bronze and silver-graded drivers alongside a platinum or gold-rated professional.
Aston Martin is among the nine manufacturers that have committed to the class, with each brand fielding two cars, having previously been part of the GTE era.
In another change for 2024, the WEC will become a two-class formula with LMGT3 joining Hypercar after the LMP2 category dropped for all rounds aside from the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Sorensen, a three-time WEC champion with two GTE Pro titles and one in GTE Am to his name with Aston, believes the changes will be conducive to an entertaining on-track spectacle as he returns to the WEC with D'Station after a year away.
Speaking to media including Autosport, the Dane said: "The cars are going to be easier for the Ams to actually drive because you have the ABS now in the GT3, so probably the Ams are going to be at a higher level already from the start.
"I think the whole racing part of it is going to be a lot closer.
"When you then hand over to the silver or the gold or platinum, I think the whole field is going to be much closer together.
