I'm not against bop in prototypes, it's about how is used and how or if it can realistically balance car performances. In IMSA at example bop works really well for dpi cars, mazda dpi is usually lighter than cadillac and acura, letting the weight cut compensate the lack of torque.
But WEC bop aims to balance cars conceptually too different:
- a work hybrid hypercar with a clear AWD advantage
- an ICE only RWD hypercar that makes power its strong point
- a less powerful but lighter and more aero performant grandfathered lmp1 that can't even receive a larger fuel tank
to this, from 2023 add also a large number of lmdh cars that before being "bopped" with hypercars would need an internal sub-class bop first.
