The Balance of Performance in the World Endurance Championship’s Hypercar class should not be “a pillow of laziness” according to the FIA as it works to overhaul the system for 2024.
The term was invoked by FIA Endurance Commission president Richard Mille when the governing body and WEC co-organiser the Automobile Club de l’Ouest outlined their vision for the BoP last weekend at the WEC season finale in Bahrain. The two organisations explained that they want a simpler BoP and one that puts more onus on the manufacturers. “If a competitor is expecting the BoP, because they made a bad choice or they don’t perform, will bring everyone back, it is not possible,” said Mille.
