Combined with a move in the 8 MJ petrol class, this could lead to same really crazy lap times at Le Mans. Remember: this year pole times was a 3:21.7 and a 3:22 by Audi in the race, without using the hybrid there.
Engine peak power output is still restricted by way of the maximum instantaneous fuel flow limits provided in the Appendix B table for each ERS class. Improved efficiency will only allow competitors to run longer with the same amount of fuel.
