Hypercar manufacturers Toyota and Porsche argue that a direct transfer of Formula 1’s budget cap to the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) isn’t feasible. The teams cite structural differences between the series as the core obstacle.
The debate centers on replacing the Balance of Performance (BoP) system, which has drawn criticism for its unpredictability, with financial regulations. Proponents claim a cost cap could simplify competition, but manufacturers warn the Hypercar class’s unique constraints—including performance targets and homologation rules—make a simple F1-style cap impractical.
WEC’s governing body has not indicated an imminent shift away from BoP. The discussion remains unresolved, with teams emphasizing the need for tailored solutions rather than imported models.
