One of the WEC’s most prestigious marques makes a thinly-veiled attack on the BoP process.
Porsche’s motorsport boss Thomas Laudenbach expressed disappointment with the Balance of Performance adjustments following another underwhelming performance by the factory Penske squad at the Spa round of the World Endurance Championship.
Despite their efforts, Porsche faced unfavorable BoP changes for the Spa race, resulting in increased weight and decreased power for the Porsche 963 LMDh model, positioning it as one of the heaviest and least powerful cars on the grid.
Laudenbach acknowledged the challenging conditions that hindered Porsche’s performance at Spa, emphasizing the need for improvement both within and outside the organization before the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In the race, the #6 Porsche finished in ninth place while the other factory Porsche came in 12th after an incident in the opening laps, contributing to Porsche’s current position at sixth in the manufacturers’ standings with Ferrari leading on 136 points.
To address these challenges, Porsche aims to analyze and take corrective actions to enhance their competitiveness and performance moving forward in the World Endurance Championship.
