The technical regulations of WEC 2016 shows several modifications, particularly for the premier LM P1 category. The prototypes will see their minimum weight increased by 5 kg, from 870 to 875 kg for hybrids and from 850 to 855 kg for non-hybrids.
The hybrid power developed will be limited to 300 kW on FIA Grade 2 tracks, with the only Le Mans circuit concerned. The tank capacity has also been reduced both for the hybrid petrol engines, now at 62,5 l, and for the hybrid diesels (49,9 l). Tanks for non-hybrid LM P1s will be limited to 67,4 liters of gasoline.
The purchase price of an LM P2 engine cannot exceed €86, with an hourly cost set at €778. A wheel retention system ensuring automatic safety retention of the nut, approved by the FIA, must also be installed on the LM P1402 and LM P1.
