Nothing really new on here about the upcoming GTE BoP tests, just that they balance every aspect of the GTEs (aero, restrictors, weight etc) and that will be determined by the data external FIA designated driver produces, as in GT3

However it does make for pretty hilarious reading (compare to my sig again)
Quote:
While GTE BoP adjustments were previously only allowed at incremental periods, and to specific requirements, the FIA Endurance Committee can now make changes at their discretion.
“Before we were saying that after two races, the [cars] had to be within 0.5 percent of performance and it was really something bad,” Beaumesnil told Sportscar365 at Spa.
“Now, we’re doing complete analysis and have many guys working after each race. When we consider it’s time to make some decisions, we make the decisions.

Why don't they just rename the category GT3 already? Because that's what it is, pure BoP class with zero room for anything else anymore, only BoP (and waivers). No technical competition allowed. Hindy doesn't have to say we cannot have GT3 for Le Mans anymore because we already have it with different name (have had for 3-4 years, but now it's rather official). The only thing missing are those 15 GT3 models...
It says final week of May so they'll BoP everything before Test Day and presumably after it again
As GTE-AM has different BoP, I guess they "only" get adjustments after the Test Day
