The rules for 2011 are quite clear:
  • LMP1: 520 bhp, 900 kg
    • Diesel: 3.7 liter 8 cylinders with twin turbos
    • Petrol: 3.4 liter 8 cylinders normally aspirated
    • Petrol: 2 liter up to 6 cylinders single turbo
  • LMP2: 420 bhp, 900 kg
    • Diesel: Series production 4.0 liter 8 cylindres (with original supercharging system)
    • Petrol: Series production 4.0 liter based on 2010 GT2
    • Petrol: Strictly series production 4.5 liter (according to the results obtained in 2009)
Let me just say that A new Panoz P-1 will/would be great, if!

As to the 2011 rules being so clear. Sorry, they're not! We have already seen the ACO waffle on hybrids, while I would agree that the outlines that have been set out are probably pretty firm for the standard (per se) cars. But we (IMO) should also take into account what is not been put out, in context with the current clime. The ACO is in the process of re-defining the GTs and as such the top GT homologated engines that could be allowed into P-1 are still in flux. We also know that the rules are still under evaluation by the ACO per Jean-Claude Plassart, Here , paying attention to the last section.
