Questions about this car
Regulations · 4 min read
Why are Hypercars slower than LMP1 cars?
Hypercars are roughly four to seven seconds per lap slower than the fastest LMP1 cars, and they are slower on purpose. The Hypercar rules cap power at about 520 kW, raise minimum weight to 1,030 kg, and use Balance of Performance to hold every car inside a target performance window. LMP1 had double the power-to-weight ambition and no BoP, and it nearly killed the championship: the class was down to one factory by 2018. The WEC traded outright speed for a grid.
