FGT carrying a pretty heavy penalty. Reduced boost at all RPM and extra weight We'll see what happens...
Despite lap times at The Prologue being slower than last year, as well as at least one manufacturer voicing concerns, no performance-related changes have been made to the Balance of Performance in the GTE classes ahead of this weekend’s FIA World Endurance championship season-opener in Silverstone.
All four GTE-Pro manufacturers will take part in the Six Hours of Silverstone in the same specification it ran at Paul Ricard last month, following the release of a BoP update by the FIA Endurance Committee last week.

Ford Chip Ganassi Racing’s George Howard-Chappell was among the outspoken team principals at Paul Ricard, which saw the pair of Ford GTs end the two-day test some 1.3 seconds slower than the AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTEs.
The Ford, like the other WEC GTE-Pro entries, are running to a different BoP table than what IMSA has utilized for its GT Le Mans class in the early season WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races.
“It doesn’t stack up that a racing car running in Europe would need a different BoP than a racing car running in America on fundamentally the same tires,” Howard-Chappell told Sportscar365.
