In the name of adequate separation with the new GTP machines that will make their debut in this weekend's IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship curtain-raiser, the Oreca 07-Gibson LMP2 has been slowed down substantially with a suite of technical changes announced last month.
These include a 10kg weight increase, a power reduction by way of a 35mm air restrictor, and a reduction in revs from 8,700rpm to 8,000 in gears one to five and 8,500 in sixth gear.
