Gibson wins FIA tender for LMP2 engine supply for new rules cycle from 2026
Gibson has been awarded the contract to provide engines for a five-year period starting in 2026, according to the FIA tender. The chosen powerplant will be a 4.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8, similar to the one used in the current P2 formula. The selection process took into account factors such as performance, weight, reliability, running and maintenance costs, spare parts cost, company infrastructure, sustainability, and environmental impact. Gibson’s engines will be used in chassis supplied by ORECA, Dallara, Ligier, and Multimatic in the P2 prototype category. P2 will no longer be part of the WEC next year, but will continue in IMSA and the European and Asian Le Mans Series.
