Ok, latest update, but now I should stop:
1. LMP1
1.1 Diesel
1.1.1 For homologated engines or existing race engines:
950kg, 2008 -8% air restrictor (about 651hp, 1,46kg/hp)
1.1.2 Everything else:
900kg, 2008 -13% air restrictor (about 616hp, 1,46kg/hp)
1.2 Petrol
1.2.1 For homologated/GT1 based engines:
900kg, 2008 -4% air restrictor (about 652hp, 1,38kg/hp)
1.2.2 Everything else:
860kg, 2008 -5% air restrictor (about 614hp, 1,4kg/hp)
2. LMP2
2.1 Diesel
2.1.1 For homologated engines:
900kg, 2008 air restrictor (about 559hp, 1,61kg/hp)
2.1.2 Everything else:
860kg, ? air restrictor (about 528hp, 1,63kg/hp)
1.2 Petrol
2.2.1 For homologated/GT2 based engines:
860kg, 2008 air restrictor (about 555hp, 1,55kg/hp)
2.2.2 Everything else:
825kg, 2008 -3% air restrictor (about 525hp, 1,57kg/hp)
Goals for the rule adaptions:
1 Make LMP1 petrol more competitive compared to LMP1 diesels and LMP2
2 Get LMP1 cars back above or near the Le Mans 3.30min lap.
3 Differentiate rules for different engine concepts LMP1 vs. LMP2, Petrol vs. diesel and race vs. production in order to stimulate chassis compatibility with different engine concepts which will reduce costs and facilitate more production engines/manufacturers to enter.
4 1.1.1. Keeps Audi and Peugeot on board by allowing them to stay competitive with their powerful but heavy V12's.
5 Production/GT based LMP get a slight power to weight advantage to compensate for mileage and possible weight balance handicaps.
I know it doesn't look sexy, but I think it is quite well balanced.
Perhaps I should send it to the A.C.O.
