would be nice to see how max power will be kept under control for hybrid cars.
I mean, so far TS050 ICE was in the range of 550-600hp (according to ff rate) + >400hp from ERS with a combined power of about 1000hp during hybrid boost.
The lack of ICE top power compared to rebellion and ginetta was anyhow compensated by a rocketlike acceleration in corners exit.
With new LMH specs, it will be unlikely to see again huge 8MJ ERS since toyota won't be anymore allowed to release >400hp hybrid boost on front wheels.


Now, if toyota at example sets 500hp from ICE + a 170hp boost from ERS, GRSS would get the regs. 670hp during hybrid boost release, but it would suffer a huge power deficit for most of the lap lenght once hybrid boost fades aways compared to glickenhaus that will always get 670hp from its ICE engine no matter what.

Wonder if there will be some kind of "dynamic" power release with ICE limited to at example 500hp when hybrid boost is released and then back again to >600hp when boost ends. Hard to explain in few words.
