Don't agree with the power reduction either. With restrictors there is a theorectical limit simply because only so much air can get into the engine. '04's aero rules will induce more drag and less downforce. But it will only be a matter of time before most of that is gotten back. So the ACO is intent on keeping speeds down. But what should be the upper limit? Last year the top speeds we topping 210 at Le Mans. This year's top speed were about the same though lap times were down (more downforce for same drag as last year). But is 210 too fast? Should that be the upper limit?
