Ahead of the 2024 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, specific details of the Balance of Performance (BoP) measures have been released. The Roar Before the 24 test event will take place at the Daytona International Speedway Road Course from January 19-21. Comparisons between the Acura ARX-06 and Porsche 963 show an increase in weight for both cars compared to last year. The Acura now weighs 1072 kg, while the Porsche is at a minimum weight of 1051 kg. The maximum stint energy allocation has been reduced for Porsche, BMW, and Cadillac, with the Acura maintaining its figure from last year. Despite a majority of teams using the Oreca 07 Gibson package, the lone Ligier JS P217 Gibson LMP2, fielded by Sean Creech Motorsport, will have equal opportunities. In the GTD and GTD Pro classes, 11 GT3 models have been identified for BoP adjustments, including three new cars for 2024.
