The GTE cars are based on production models and are fundamentally different from each other. To create a more level playing field for competition, regulators have the ability to apply fine adjustments in the performance of individual cars to allow each model to be competitive.
Adjustments to the balance of performance for cars entered in the LMGTE Pro category during the season are made automatically after certain rounds, according to evaluation criteria defined and agreed by all parties before the start of the season.
A calculation tool allows the targets for balancing the different car models to be met, without human interpretation or decision-making, using mathematical formulas based on the quantified, public, specific, measured data obtained during each race.
The following modifications may be applied:
- Minimum weight of the car
- Engine air restrictor and boost pressure ratio
- Fuel tank capacity
- Height of the rear wing
- Any other technical modification that the FIA Endurance Committee may deem necessary
