Ferrari: BoP Abolition Target for 2030 WEC Rules

Ferrari's 2030 BoP Goal

Ferrari says Balance of Performance should be dropped by 2030 in WEC Hypercar rules.

“We have a very good opportunity for 2030. We started with two different platforms, two different ideas.”

BoP's Current Role

The FIA and ACO use Balance of Performance to balance car performance across LMDh and LMH divisions.

Coletta on Meritocracy

Ferrari's global head of endurance, Antonello Coletta, says removing BoP would boost meritocracy in WEC.

“With a unique platform, we can write the rules very clearly and the final goal should be for us to delete the BoP.”

BoP's Impact on Cars

Coletta states Balance of Performance significantly affects car performance and behavior in racing.

“BoP can have a significant influence on a car's performance and behaviour.”

Ferrari's 2030 Commitment

Ferrari will stay in WEC beyond 2030 regardless of whether Balance of Performance is included in 2030 rules.

“This is not mandatory. For us, it's mandatory to have a chance to make the car.”

Four-Wheel Drive Debate

Ferrari prefers four-wheel drive cars but acknowledges it's not feasible for all manufacturers in 2030.

“For Ferrari to have four-wheel drive would probably be the best. But apart from Ferrari and two other manufacturers, this is not of interest for the rest.”
