"Rules change KOs Glickenhaus' Alfa V6 twin turbo plans"
In June the target figure was still 750 hp, and before that the previous figure was 700 + 271 (ice+hybrid, and when hybrid was still mandatory). Has there been another recent change which nobody seems to have reported or what part of this I'm not getting? Is that extra power for BoP insurance & durability?

Yeah seems like no one picked up on it, as far as I can tell the first mention of this comes from this article linked in the previous page:

I am disgusted by their whining that got the ACO to graciously change the rules to accommodate Astons engine blowing up our Alfa engines and causing Toyota to have to spend more money changing theirs and then saying Bye Bye. Now they are blaming convergence. Pathetic.”
The comment regarding the engines is likely in reference to a regulation change that derailed Glickenhaus’ plans to have the 007 powered by an Alfa Romeo engine.
