Ferrari and Toyota are the biggest winners in the Balance of Performance table issued for this weekend’s Imola round of the World Endurance Championship.
The Ferrari 499P Le Mans Hypercar will race at a minimum weight of 1041kg, 34kg below the figure at which it competed in the WEC curtain-raiser in Qatar last month, and has had maximum power raised by 7kW . Toyota’s GR010 HYBRID LMH has lost 29kg and gained 6kW in the table issued by the FIA WEC Committee.
This follows the French manufacturer's switch to 29cm-wide front tyres and 34cm rears from the 31cm all-round of the original version of the 9X8. No explanation, as is normal on the publication of the BoP table before each WEC race, has been given for the changes. The across-the-board weight reductions and power increases are likely the result of the differing track characteristics of the Autodromo Internationale Enzo e Dino Ferrari at Imola and Qatar’s Losail International Circuit.
