Decision of the Endurance Committee
SPA 2018 - LE MANS 2018
During the two first race events, the performances will be analysed and checked in comparison with the homologated
data sheet during each session.
If the analysis will not be possible due to lack of confidence of the onboard data or lack of proper dry running conditions,
FIA/ACO will keep the possibility to take some precaution on the fuel allocation of LMP1NH for the race.
If some adjustments are necessary, before Le Mans 2018, it could be done for any engine type (NA or TC) of LMP1NH by:
Addition of a maximum of +20kg ballast associated with minimum weight increase of +20kg;
Reduction of the maximum fuel flow (with associated fuel/lap and fuel/stint) without changing engine hardware
homologation;
Any other adjustments required if necessary.
In terms of stint length, in any case, the maximum number of ‘green’ laps (without safety car, slow zone(s) and not
depending on track conditions) should not exceed 11 laps for LMP1H and 10 laps for LMP1NH in Le Mans 2018 race and
19 laps for LMP1H and 17 laps for LMP1NH in Spa 2018 race.
