The controversial changes to the Hypercar BoP for the Le Mans 24 Hours were made by the FIA and the ACO without the consent of the manufacturers, it has emerged: WEC LeMans24

to revise the BoP for the double-points round of the World Endurance Championship to the manufacturers on Wednesday, Motorsport.com has learned, just four days before the cars are due on track for the official Le Mans test day on Sunday.and there was no attempt to gain the unanimous agreement that in theory was necessary to make revisions outside the prescriptions of a new Hypercar system introduced for 2023.

It explained that it was necessary because the differences in the performance of cars built to the Le Mans Hypercar rules were “greater than initially anticipated”. There was confusion over when this could take place under the agreement, which remains outside the public domain, but it was made clear that changes to the BoP for individual cars built to the two different Hypercar rulesets was only possible after Le Mans.

An unchanged BoP is in force for the Peugeot 9X8 LMH, the Glickenhaus 007 and Vanwall Vandervell 680 non-hybrid LMHs.
