Such a disqualification sounds already like unfair, but the judge's decision is the judge's decision. Its fuel tank could carry just 0.1 litres more fuel than allowed. Then, it was decided that the GTE Am winning Ford GT will also be disqualified. Sounds like a bit too harsh judgement, but that's how the quality of BoP is ensured.

The GTE Pro 4th place Ford GT was disqualified after the race when it was found out that its fuel tank could carry 0.83 litres more fuel. Considering they did 342 laps and were on the same lap, their performance was within 0.3%. The work of the BoP specialists can be appreciated when top 5 cars finish the 24 hour race on the same lap. Thanks to the Balance of Performance (BoP) system all the cars are made really equal. Actually there will be 8 races in the 2018/2019 season, while there were 9 races in the 2017 season, but the actual racing time is longer as the super season includes 2 Le Mans 24 hour races!įor the second year in a row, after Porsche had terminated its LMP1-Hybrid program, the most interesting and rivalling category at the Le Mans 24 hour race has been the GTE Pro. Instead of the usual 7 month season, the 2018/2019 "super season" will be 11 months long, but will not have more races. To transform from the previous arrangement to the new, there has to be either a very short season or a longer-than-usual season. In the GT Manufacturer's Championship Porsche scored third after Ferrari, Ford and in front of Aston Martin.įIA is in the process of moving its World Endurance Championship schedule for the seasons to start in the end of the year and to end next summer (the same has been practiced with Formula E from the beginning).

Depending on the colour of the arrows, the driver knows whether the trailing car is coming closer or falling back. On a cockpit monitor arrows indicate when vehicles are behind. The 991.2 RSR features a radar-supported Collision Avoid System which means now the faster LMP prototypes are detected behind early enough and misunderstandings can be avoided. The normally aspirated 4-litre flat-6 was taken from the 991 GT3 R (used also in the 991 GT3 Cup 4.0).

While the 911 GT1 cars were the ultimate mid-engined 911s with their turbocharged engines, the FIA rules restrict the engine power and there was no reason to equip the 991.2 RSR with a turbo engine. The extended rear diffuser, a top-suspended rear wing and the new side mirrors help to increase downforce with reduced drag. So, the rear wheels were moved back 1.3-2.6"/32-66 mm depending on how you look. In comparison Cayman GT mm, 991.2 GT3 Cup has 2456 mm and 991.2 Carrera/Turbo have 2450 mm. The wheelbase of the 991.2 RSR was extended to 2516 mm. Now you probably remember when the Cayman came out in 2005, it was said to handle better than the 911.
