Hey there, racing enthusiasts! Have you heard the latest news about the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the year 2017? Well, buckle up because we have all the juicy details for you!
The FIA World Motor Sport Council recently confirmed the date of the 85th edition of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. Mark your calendars for June 17-18, 2017, as this is when the adrenaline-fueled race will take place.
But wait, there’s more! The council also approved some exciting changes to the technical regulations for LM P1 prototypes entered by private teams. These changes aim to level the playing field between hybrid LM P1s entered by manufacturers and their counterparts without energy recovery systems, which are reserved for private teams.
So, what are these changes, you might ask? Well, let us break it down for you. Private teams will now benefit from an increase in the width of the rear spoiler and the front part of the body. The minimum weight has been reduced to 830 kg, and they will be allowed to use only one fuel flowmeter. Additionally, there will be more torque meters, no limit on the number of engines utilized, and no restrictions on engine capacity.
The organizers, Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), emphasized the importance of private outfits during their press conference. With these modifications, they aim to bridge the performance gap between the manufacturers’ hybrid LM P1s and private teams’ cars without energy recovery systems. These new regulations will go into effect next year, promising an even more thrilling and competitive race.
So, racing fanatics, mark your calendars for June 17-18, 2017, and get ready for an epic showdown at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Don’t miss the chance to witness the world’s best drivers and teams battling it out on one of the most prestigious circuits in the world.
