Ferrari and Porsche will fight for the title in the WEC finale (with Cadillac needing a miracle). How will the BoP affect their battle?
The Bahrain 8 Hours’ Balance of Performance was eagerly anticipated across the World Endurance Championship paddock, as the WEC titles are set to be decided at Sakhir next Saturday, with Ferrari, Porsche, and Cadillac still in contention. The BoP is influenced by factors such as previous race data, circuit characteristics, and homologation parameters, making it complex to interpret. Changes in the BoP since the Fuji round include Cadillac losing power and gaining weight, while Porsche also suffers a drop in power-to-weight ratio. Among the title contenders, Ferrari seems least penalized by the adjustments, with Porsche appearing to face the greatest challenges. Although Ferrari was already a favorite, the current BoP adjustments may further solidify their position for the upcoming race in Bahrain. Overall, the upcoming race at Bahrain International Circuit promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the World Endurance Championship season.
