The Ferrari is 2 litres down on last year, and the Ferrari is also the benchmark car, so always gets the least changes, whilst everything else is BoP'd around it. You need a baseline, and you don't move it about, otherwise you don't have any way of measuring anything. The Ferrari routinely gets the least changes because of this.

The three Fords (excluding the crippled 67) were faster than every other car last year, and the only GTE cars to break into the 3:51s. That's why it's been slowed down. The Corvette and Aston were a full 2 seconds slower than the Ford, so they've been given a BoP break. This is perfectly inline with what the BoP process is (whether we like it or not, and I think we all agree we don't), and is consistent with using the 488 as a base. This is also a Le Mans specific BoP, so doesn't take into account any other track.
