A meeting was called by WEC rule makers the FIA and the Automobile Club in Paris late last month at which changes to the current system for 2024 were discussed.
It is understood that the majority of manufacturers favoured maintaining the status quo and want to retain the current system introduced for this season, although it is far from clear if any final decisions were made.
Exact details of what was discussed have not been revealed: manufacturers are forbidden in the series' sporting regulations from discussing the BoP and the FIA has declined to comment.
What was proposed appears to be to leave the building blocks of the current BoP, such as mitigation of the advantages of the four-wheel-drive Le Mans Hypercar hybrids, while abandoning what is regarded in some circles as an impossible attempt to exactly match the performance of the different cars.
It follows dissatisfaction with the system of BoP as it stands.
Toyota president Akio Toyoda said after its GR010 HYBRID LMH was beaten into second place by the Ferrari 499P LMH at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours that the Japanese manufacturer had “lost to politics.”
His comments referred to changes made to the BoP outside of the system introduced for 2023 in the run-up to the race.
