Of course, how will the ACO slow a car that ran 3:15 in qualifying at LM just a few days ago to running 3:30?
Granted, I very much doubt that the LMP1 Hypercars will be doing 3:30s. Somewhere between 3:20 and 3:25 is more realistic, given that even though they'll be heavier, and have less hybrid power, they'll be making a guaranteed 700bhp or so engine power, which is nearly a 100 or there abouts more than what Toyota are making now. They will also be longer and wider, especially wider (about 2000mm vs 1900mm) and might run wider wheels and tires.
