The production-based cells of the new hybrid storage system are serially connected. At the same time, the speed of the LMP1 race cars continually increases. To control it, the officials of the FIA, the WEC and the Le Mans organizer ACO allocate less fuel energy to the hybrid race cars to control the lap times.
