These are the changes from last year to this year:
LMP1H 8MJ
2017 878kg___124,9MJ/lap fuel___80,2kg/h fuel___44,1kg/stint fuel
2018 878kg___124,9MJ/lap fuel___80,2kg/h fuel___35,2kg/stint fuel
LMP1
2017 833kg___157,2MJ/lap fuel___100,9kg/h fuel___53,0kg/stint fuel
2018 833kg___210,9MJ/lap fuel___110,0kg/h fuel___52,9kg/stint fuel
Basically, the highlights are:
*Toyota stay as is with minimum weight, MJ per lap and per hour of fuel.
*Toyota will get approx. 20% smaller fuel tank for '18.
*LMP1 privateer will be allowed to weight 45kgs less than the Toyota hybrids, get over 9kg/h more fuel to burn per hour, and will get a huge jump in MJ per lap for fuel.
Basically, Toyota's performance numbers are the same as last year, but their stints will be almost 20% shorter (approx 2 laps around Le Mans), while LMP1 privateer get a lot more fuel to burn to try and make more engine power to try and offset Toyota's hybrid advantage.
