The fire suffered by Larbre Competition at the Shanghai round of the 2013 FIA WEC, widely believed to have been the result of the team failing to secure the filler cap on top of the rig, has led to a revision of the FIA/ ACO regulations governing LMP1, LMP2 and GTE machines, and is likely then to cover not only the WEC but also the ELMS and Asian Le Mans Series too.
The revisions cover the couplings and pipework for the rigs – certainly there will be more than a few teams on the phone to their suppliers to ensure their kit is ready for the fast approaching 2014 season.
