Porsche and Cadillac LMDh get weight breaks for Bahrain WEC finale
The minimum weights of the Porsche’s and Cadillac’s LMDh prototypes have been reduced by seven kilograms for the Bahrain 8 Hours race on November 4th, in an effort to create a level playing field between LMDh and Le Mans Hypercar manufacturers. This weight reduction is part of a change to the “platform BoP” and applies equally to both Porsche and Cadillac. New rules for 2023 allowed for a platform change after the Monza and Fuji rounds in July and September. These changes were made after the Le Mans 24 Hours in June, as the performance differences between LMH cars were greater than anticipated. The Porsche and Cadillac will also have a reduced per-stint energy allocation in line with their weight reductions.
