Fuji's BoP unveiled, with no weight changes

Proof that the current regulations now give pride of place to improving small details, none of the Hypercars entered in the 6 Hours of Fuji this weekend will see any change in their mass, an extremely rare occurrence since the appearance of the BoP in the World Championship.Endurance. It is therefore on the side of the available power, as well as the energy available during an entire relay, that the differences are made compared to Lone Star. Le Mans, earlier this month.

THEAlpine A424 is best served when it comes to power below 250 km/h, since the French LMDh receives an additional 6KW, increasing to 512 (696 hp). This is less than theAston Martin Valkyrie and the Peugeot 9X8, which are at the maximum available namely 520 KW (707 hp) but it is a significant advantage on a track with a straight line of more than a kilometer.

The Cadillac and the Toyota are the only ones to lose power below 250 km/h compared to Fuji, but they compensate by getting a little more power above 250 km/h, the Toyota for example having a 7,7% increase in power when it passes the 250 km/h mark. Apart from the Peugeot 9X8, all Hypercars also have a little more energy available per relay.

In LMGT3, the Ford Mustang has been given an extra 15 kilos of weight, even before taking into account Success Ballast, a ballast added to the best cars in the final rounds of the championship. This will be the case, for example, for the No. 87 Lexus of the French team Akkodis ASP, victorious in São Paulo and which now weighs 1372 kg.
