Contenders Toyota, Cadillac, Ferrari, Porsche all hit with weight additions by ACO to level the playing field.
. They each also received some power changes in what is known as a “platform” adjustment, i.e. across all cars.
In a sport so often dependent upon aerodynamics, the BOP adjustment is often a reminder of an old saw. “Is this any way to run an airline?” The rules call for one adjustable aerodynamic device, invariably the rear wing. From the outset, Ferrari’s rear wing with its support from the endplates and central fin as well as a “kick up” fixed wing has looked more promising when it comes to adjusting the downforce and drag. Others have their tricks available, although Peugeot is on the outside looking in with its wingless 9X8 that received no BOP change.
Upon the return to the track on Wednesday, Toyotas set the pace in the first free practice before Ferrari claimed the top spot in the first qualifying session and Porsche was quickest during the night practice. Yet to come is Thursday evening’s final eight-car shootout for the pole, designed to produce more promotional excitement on the TV airwaves and in the media—and to blunt the sandbagging that was seen on the Test Day.
