Engine power

I think that the current generation of Sportscars have too little power.

For the top class in terms of power, the LM-GTP class, the max power outputs are somewhere in the region of 630bhp

next year, all classes will suffer a 10% reduction in power

this will mean that the GTPs will have just 570bhp, and the 900s will have just 550bhp or so.

Andy Wallace commented a while ago (about two years) that the cars didn't have enough power, and said that somewhere around 850bhp would be a good mark.

Realistically, a figure of abot 700-750bhp would be better, because any higher would make it financially unviable for the smaller manufacturers.

What do you think?
