That Maximum Stint Energy level may be a big disadvantage for Ferrari. The energy conservation and its effect on race pace during stints taken over 30 odd stints during the race could be critical as the race goes on.
@@0xym0re82 It is energy used in “mega joules” from a virtual tank, a combination of fuel used by the internal combustion engine and torque used by the hybrid system. Maybe others who are advanced in understanding race technology can go into more details. From what I understand the WEC for Balance of Performance will adjust the numbers for each car at each track to theoretically make the cars equal in lap times.
it took porsche half a season of success to get the same level of hatred that Toyota spent years of success did. porsche really is the goat of endurance racing, even winning in the "getting hated" class😂. even though it should be more of a fia issue if you ever argue with bop, them people man smh🤦♂️
Reliability and drivability to name a couple. In theory, BoP is supposed to balance the car’s maximum theoretical performance. So if you’re behind the other manufacturers, it’s ideally up to you to extract more performance out of the car. Whether or not they’re actually achieving that properly is up for debate.
IMSA showed why. Acuras had incredible suspension on bumpy street circuits, Mazdas were great on smooth, top-end heavy tracks, the Caddys were dominant on acceleration heavy tracks like Long Beach and the Nissans were incredible when temps went down in the night. Unfortunately the FIA seem massively worse than IMSA when it comes to BOP.
There is A LOT more to a car being fast than maximum power/minimum weight. Where is the weight distributed? How good is the power curve? How is the aero? How does this all affect the tires? That’s all before things like reliability/drivability. The Peugeot and Porsche have very fast race pace, but suffer from being difficult to do on a consistent basis. The Yota and Ferrari are far more drivable, even if not being quite as quick round the track under ideal conditions
@@GTRainthis exactly, I love WEC but the madness & stupid conspiracies centred around BoP is tiring. Always the same types of comments made by people who literally have made no real attempt at understanding the thing they're criticising..

In one car you have Romain Grosjean, and Andrea Caldarelli Platinum but his last podium finish was in 2014. Then you have Matteo Cairoli who I think is on his way up even more and very promising. All very experienced and obviously in at Le Mans. The #63 you have Mirko Bortolotti very good, Daniil Kvyat BIG ????? here, probably paid for his ride? Was not very good in my opinion in F1.

@@thepitkid Not sure about that. WEC doesn't work like F1. Once a manufacturer figures out the formula others can't catch up anymore since they can't increase their spendings. It's hostile towards new manufacturers as well since they would start of with a development disadvantage that they most likely couldn't overcome. It would also kill every privateer team since they can't effort to spends millions every season to upadte their cars. Some manufacturers are already threatening to leave the series, imagine how much worse that would be with a development race.
Honestly, the Peugeot will be muuuuch lighter than it's ever been since the wing placement. They will be MORE competitive than they were @Imola and @Spa IMO. Then again that's not saying much. Wouldn't be surprised to see Alpine and Peugeot all of a sudden be a bit quicker and competitive. Isotta should be much quicker too, even with the less experienced drivers.

BOP is just the worst that ever happened to racing.. Bring back the rules of the 90s and let the engineers do their best. Just put a monetary cap on the cars and let the best engineers figure out the best solution instead of rewarding lazy engineering with power bonuses, because their system doesn’t work as well.
How would a monetary cap change anything? Once a team has figured out the formula others can't catch up because they are limited by spending. New manufacturers don't even need to think about joining because once they are late they can't close the gap by investing more money, smaller manufacturers probably couldn't keep up with the bigger manufacturers bringing updates every season. This system might work in F1, WEC isn't F1 though. The revenue these teams make isn't enough to balance the amount of money they would have to spend.
Don't respond to that guy. I've seen him on a few endurance videos and he's always complaining about how racing was "better back in the days". Let grandpa seethe in his ignorance and let's focus on enjoying the WEC no that it's the best it's ever been.
