- LMP: Merged classes LMP1 and LMP2 into a single class called “LMP“.
Exception: 12h Sebring, Petit Le Mans: these races run with original A.C.O. rules (24h Le Mans) - Summary of LMP Class: Former LMP1 get 5% increased air restrictors, LMP2 can load 90 instead of 80 liters and are allowed to continue to drive with the 2 meter spoilers.
