The pre-race adjustments for the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour
17 Feb
A number of Balance of Performance (BoP) adjustments have been made ahead of the Repco Bathurst 12 Hour.
Sheldon van der Linde and Team WRT BMW ended Saturday on top of the time sheets after an enthralling Pirelli Shootout.
There was a BoP adjustment posted between Practice 6 and Qualifying, with the BMWs given a 10kg weight reduction, while the Porsche 992 was given 10kg more.
Further BoP adjustments were made before Sunday’s race, with he Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II, Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 and both generation Porsche 911 GT3 Rs getting weight breaks.
The Audi was given a 15kg weight reduction, while the Lamborghini and both the Type-992 and Type-991.2 Porsches lost 10kgs.
The latest adjustment effectively returns the Type-992 Porsche to the configuration it started the weekend.
SRO also enforced changes to fuel capacities, with “Total Fuel Capacity is for 32 laps max in normal race conditions based on collected fuel consumption data from FP4s and discussions with manufacturers.”
Sunday’s race will get underway at 5:45am local time.
