As suggested on these pages earlier this week, the ACO has this afternoon issued another Technical Bulletin outlining further GTE Pro (and Am) Balance of Performance Changes with every car being dealt. for the most part very minor, changes.
The exception to the general rule is the new Aston Martin Vantage which, for the second time this week, is dealt a break on turbo boost, believed by this writer to be worth c.5-7 bhp across the board. In addition, the Aston also receives a further 10-kilo weight break. Those two values together are certainly not enough to offset the substantial gap between the Aston Martins and the remainder of the field in on-track performance.
Beyond that, both the BMW M8 GTE (10kg) and Corvette C7.R (5kg) are given minor weight reductions. In contrast, the Ford GT (8kg) and Porsche 911 RSR(10kg) are given minor weight increases.
The only change to the Ferrari 488 GTE meanwhile is a 1-litre increase in permitted fuel load
Across the board minimum and maximum fuel fill times are re-iterated.
There are minor changes too in LM GTE Am with the older Aston Martin Vantage GTE getting a Weight break of 10 kilos, the Porsche 911 RSR getting an additional 10 kilos.
