New procedures have been agreed to prevent Hypercar crews losing time repairing WEC torque sensor failures, like the one Toyota suffered at Portimao. Full story:

They were agreed between rule makers the FIA and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and the manufacturers on Wednesday afternoon ahead of the start of practice on Thursday for this weekend’s Spa round of the championship.early in the second hour of the Portimao WEC round earlier this month when a rear driveshaft torque sensor mandated in the regulations stopped working.

That is why Peugeot was able to continue running the #94 9X8 that finished fifth at Portimao; it suffered a failure of a driveshaft torque sensor during the second half of the race. “We very quickly agreed with the FIA and ACO that we have do everything possible to make sure we avoid stopping a car when such a thing happens,” explained Vasselon.

Vasselon would not go into details, but he revealed that the back-up would involve the sensor that measures power on the input shaft of the gearbox. The Peugeot shared by Loic Duval, Gustavo Menezes and Nico Muller was slowed as the team strived to keep it within the prescribed torque curve and its per-stint energy allowance laid down by the BoP.
