Following the opening two races of the 2015 European Le Mans Series season at Silverstone and Imola the Balance of Performance (BoP) for the GTC class has been updated, with the weights of two of the five cars entered for the race in Austria on the 11/12 July being adjusted.

The race winning BMW E89 Z4 receives a performance break for Round 3 of the ELMS.  The minimum weight of the car will be 1280kg, a reduction of 20kg on the 1300kg it ran in Italy.  Likewise the Aston Martin Vantage also receives a performance break with a reduction of 20kg on the weight it ran Italy (1305kg).  The Vantage will run with a 20kg adjustment and weight 1285kg.

The weight of the Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 remains unchanged with a 40kg adjustment on the base weight of 1265kg.

An ACO Bulletin released on the 1st July regarding amendments to the technical and sporting regulations for the LMP3 class announced that the base weight of the LMP3 cars is to be raised from 900kg to 930kg and this new regulation will be applied at the next round of the ELMS at the Red Bull Ring.

The bulletin also announced that four of the five manufacturer slots for the LMP3 class have been filled with Ginetta, Onroak, Adess and Riley Tech the four named so far.  The LMP3 cars built by Onroak, Adess and Riley Tech are currently undergoing homologation with Onroak’s Ligier JS P3 due to make its race debut later this year in the ELMS.
