Ferrari already looks like the 2025 WEC champion even before Le Mans. A change to BoP for this year seems to have massively backfired
The World Endurance Championship delivered a spectacular show during the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, the last race before the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours, but Toyota and Porsche couldn’t challenge for the win.
The surprising lack of podium finishes for two manufacturers that battled for titles last year raised questions about their performance in the WEC compared to IMSA.
The ongoing debate about the Balance of Performance and recent changes to the BoP system have motorsport purists concerned about fairness and competitiveness in the Hypercar class.
Changes in the BoP, especially towards 100% convergence this year, aim to ensure equal performance among all cars, creating a more level playing field.
Differences in technology, like MGU placement, contribute to performance variations and challenges for manufacturers in achieving balance and competitiveness across different racing series and regulations.
