I'd say you should cut both of those numbers in half.
BoP, Is just laughable and continues to be. How anyone can defend this garbage system? I applaud your optimism and encouragements, but it will always be "artificial" racing no matter what

Is there anywhere online where I can see all the BoP changes that were made this and last season?
It's annoying that it's not easily visible on the FIA WEC website to track the car's "development" during the season.
Maybe it should be added to the wikipedia page.

Scroll back in the thread, I’ve shared at least 2-3 for this year, usually compared to previous iteration or last year race in the Lemans case.

You can see the anomaly at the start of the year (a mysterious 40kg weight reduction of the Ferrari). The season never recovered from it.
Straight into your top 10 most incredible takes in history.

Might be worth considering what participants may like about BoP. It does always provide a convenient excuse for not placing higher. Turns the sport into more of an exhibition; a publicity engine. Makes it a little lower stakes, lower intensity, perhaps good for long format events. It is endurance racing after all. No one is glued to the trackside or a screen for 6-24 hours waiting impatiently for a heckin' epic overtake.
no51 hit 364 kph .. does corrent f1 car hit those speed bar mexico?
Hmmm, I guess they would in Le Mans if set up for Le Mans?
Has anybody calculated how current F1 cars would go in the Le Mans Grand Prix?
From 2021, but still interesting:
Sub 3 minutes (theoretical), apparently, with 92% full throttle. Jump to 10:45 in the video for the TLDW version.

Does the ACO hire out their clowns for birthday parties? I've got one coming up.

I’ve given up on this now. In WEC there is just a total lack of competence to handle this right, so why even watch the final race.
And in IMSA they used the BOP for blatant race fixing mid way through the season to hand Acura and Cadillac some wins to manufacture a championship battle. As Porsche finally won anyway, expect them to have a parachute attached to the rear and run a 911 boxer engine from 1963 all through next season to see if Acura could potentially manage to win the championship. Then in 2027 perhaps Cadi wants a championship?
Ridiculous is what it is.

Well deserved sweep fo Ferrari who has been consistently competitive since the very first race in WEC.
Good bye Porsche, they will definitely be missed.
Curious what they will do with BoP and single class in the future.
