Latest auto-BoP is brutal, but it's the system everyone agreed on. GT gains another 20 kg, Aston drops another 20 kg and gains more power. The auto-BoP is independent of Le Mans. Le Mans had it's own specific BoP so this goes back to the Spa race, where the Astons were slow. But the GTs were slower than the 488s so that's not so hot.
GT is 85 kilograms heavier than the Aston and I'm told the estimate on horsepower is that it's at a roughly 30-40 hp deficit.
“We’re in a strong position in the championship but the next two races are going to be really tough for us,” Priaulx told Sportscar365.
“I think Aston will be very strong. They won the championship last year, they won Le Mans, and they’re going to be right up there in the next two races.
“We’ve just got to keep one eye on those guys and at the same time we’ve got to drive the best we can with what we’ve got.
“At the moment, we’re not competitive enough to go out there and win but we’ve got to make the best out of what we have. It’s as simple as that.”
Facing a challenging BoP and tough competition, Priaulx remains realistic about his chances this weekend, admitting that a second GTE-Pro class win of the season is likely too far out of reach...
