At the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the WEC, Hypercar is synonymous with Balance of Performance. The system is at the very core of the category that succeeded LMP1 and helped convince numerous manufacturers to commit, whether through the LMH or LMDh technical platforms. However, the topic of BoP has grown considerably in recent years, prompting regulators to try to reduce the amount of attention it receives.
As a result, regulations have already prohibited competitors for several seasons from "commenting on or attempting to influence" the BoP. In 2026, a further step was taken when the FIA and the ACO decided to stop publishing the Balance of Performance figures ahead of each event.
