This year’s Macau GT World Cup race will see FIA-mandated torque sensors to help enforce balance of performance (BoP) rules. The decision to deploy torque sensors followed consultations with the manufacturers involved in the GT3 Technical Working Group, the FIA said.
The introduction of mandatory torque sensors is the second major FIA GT World Cup regulatory change for 2025, following the approval of the new Super Pole qualifying format by the FIA World Motor Sport Council this February.
The eighth edition of the FIA GT World Cup will take place on November 13–16 as part of the 72nd Macau Grand Prix.
Lutz Leif Linden, FIA GT commission chairman, said, “I’m delighted that we will be using torque sensors in the FIA GT World Cup in Macau this year. The FIA made this decision in consultation with the manufacturers.
“For us, this means even greater fairness and improved control of BoP values which is particularly important in such a prestigious and high-profile event and on a circuit as demanding as the one in Macau, where high-speed straights contrast with tight, narrowing corners.
“Following last year’s extremely competitive entry, this, along with the recently approved qualifying format, marks another key step in the FIA GT World Cup’s ongoing growth.”
