British engine builder Gibson Technology will remain as the sole supplier in the LMP2 division of sportscar racing when the next-generation of chassis comes on stream.
Gibson has won the FIA tender to provide the engines for a five-year period from the beginning of the new rules cycle in 2026. The powerplant will be a 4.2-litre normally-aspirated V8, the same configuration as the spec GK428 unit it has supplied for the current P2 formula that began in 2017.
P2 will disappear from the WEC next year, but will continue in IMSA in North America and the European and Asian Le Mans Series run by WEC joint-organiser and promoter the Automobile Club de l’Ouest. A minimum of 15 entries from these series will be invited to contest the Le Mans 24 Hours double-points round in June. The ACO has reiterated its commitment to P2 despite its disappearance from the WEC for next year.
