So the month of lemans just finished and ferrari winned for 3th time so... What are your thoughts on lemans next year?

Probably the same as the last three years: "Please make good BoP."

Maybe one day they'll get to it.

BoP is decent, but I desperately want to see the rigid methodology behind it to be public, otherwise there will always be someone feeling at disadvantage.

Sure, Ferrari won for the third time, but it was far from a one-horse race, if anything I'd say Porsche n.6 had the strongest performance. They ultimately lost it by starting from the back of the grid. And let's not forget that Ferrari was the second heaviest car with worst power cut above 250 kph and one of the worst energy allocations per stint. Ferrari was far from being ACO's favorite. They just seem to do well in all possible conditions.

Also keep in mind that we had top 4 cars within 30 seconds this year. Pre-BoP we used to have top 2 cars 5 laps apart (2020 Le Mans for example). So the BoP is absolutely needed to keep the event competitive. We just need more transparency in it's enforcement.

I think BoP is terrible, but agree on the transparency.

The Porsche 6 had indeed an amazing race, but it was just one car (drivers making the difference?). The other Porsches performed poorly, which we already knew was going to happen before the race.

You are right about the Ferrari BoP numbers, but you left out that these numbers are better than both the 2023 and 2024 races, when they also dominated. So if they're dominating, why are they getting green numbers? What does BoP do?

And yet they keep getting top speeds 10+ kph above the others. Again, what does BoP do?
Why Peugeot, the weakest car, was hit the hardest in BoP?

If there was no BoP, I would be here praising Ferrari's engineering, driving and race execution. But insted they screwed the race with multiple penalties (as usual, while others executed perfectly) and somehow just had to cruise for 24 hours...


But hey, we should be talking about 2026. What are expecting from Hyundai?

Ferrari is one of the worst in terms of BoP but is dominating Le Mans and leading the first places on WEC Drivers Championship.

BoPshouldn't even have been released
