Abstract
New spectroscopic observations in the LMC/SMC combined with published data on Galactic WR stars lead to a correlation between mass ratio, MWR/MO, and WR subclass. As a consequence of this and their high mass loss rates, WR stars probably evolve from cool to hot ionization class in a way which depends on the metallicity.
