Abt Lamborghini Faces Hearing After Post‑Race Power Test Flags Discrepancy

Sport commissioners will review dyno and telemetry evidence that suggests the car’s measured engine output may exceed Balance of Performance limits.

Overview

  • The Abt Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 that finished second at the 24 Hours Nürburgring on May 16–17 is under formal scrutiny after post‑race checks found atypical engine performance.
  • Technicians sealed six top SP9 cars and tested them at the McChip dynamometer; only the Abt #84 showed anomalies and its measurement was delayed by a reported clutch defect and resealing.
  • The Technical Commissioners sent a written report to the Sport Commissioners and a hearing is scheduled; the race result remains provisional and the team would have 96 hours to appeal any disqualification to the DMSB sport court.
  • Unconfirmed reports describe about a 20 PS deviation from pre‑race reference values, which would sit well outside the roughly 2% BoP tolerance (about ±10 PS at a 500 PS baseline), but sporting authorities have not publicly confirmed that figure.
  • Investigators used both dynamometer data and race telemetry — including median top speeds at Döttinger Höhe to control for slipstream — and a disqualification could reorder the final standings and trigger a possible multi‑week appeal process.
