The Aston Martin Vantage GTE, which took pole on Thursday night thanks to Marco Sorensen's benchmark lap of 3m48.000s, has been given a small turbo boost reduction.
Meanwhile, all cars in the class except the Corvette C7.R, including the Aston Martin, have been handed a 5kg weight break. It comes after Antonio Garcia qualified the best of the C7.Rs third.
The Aston has also been hit by a two-litre reduction in fuel capacity as organisers aim to ensure all cars are only capable of 14-lap stints during green flag running.
BoP changes have been made in the GTE Am class as well, following a top-three lock-out by Porsche 911 RSRs in qualifying.
The German cars will run 10kg heavier, while the sole Ford GT in the class, the Keating Motorsports entry, has been handed a 10kg weight break.
Both the Ferrari 488 GTE and old-generation Aston Martin Vantage are unaffected by the latest changes.
