Hypercar has significantly lower hybrid performance than LMP1H and we don't even know what LMDh engine power levels
are. Literally the only point of comparison we actually have is that LMH has a 200kW max optional hybrid (down from 300kW in the current Toyota) while the LMDh spec hybrid will probably be ~40kW. There's no energy release limit in Hypercar because max combined power is capped. It's entirely possible depending on the direction of the next-gen LMP2 regulations and the weight of the hybrid system that LMDh ends up close in weight and by necessity overall power to LMH. You could build a Hypercar with that 40kW hybrid system if you wanted even, it would just require an engine nearly as powerful as a non-hybrid car.
Success ballast is a completely separate thing from BoP and already being used in BoP categories.
