WEC manufacturers set to reject Hypercar BoP revamp
A meeting was held in Paris last month by the FIA and the Automobile Club, where changes to the current WEC system for 2024 were discussed. The majority of manufacturers expressed their desire to maintain the current system introduced for this season. The exact details of the discussions have not been disclosed, as manufacturers are not allowed to discuss the Balance of Performance (BoP) according to the series’ sporting regulations. However, it seems that the proposal includes keeping the foundation of the current BoP while abandoning the attempt to precisely match the performance of different cars. Dissatisfaction with the current BoP system has been expressed by Toyota and Ferrari, with both manufacturers calling for changes. Porsche, on the other hand, appears to be against changes and prefers a more reactive BoP system. Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe boss Pascal Vasselon criticized the current system as unsustainable and stated that it removes performance responsibility from manufacturers.
