Poor bastards, they are just are never happy. Perhaps they'll find solace in future FIA rules making. :lol

Highly recommend Porsche taking the Aston-Martin course in 'Successfully Influencing Your Sanctioning Body' a.k.a. 'Best Red Wines of Bordeaux' that is now being offered on-line.

I believe that the Ganassi Team understands that the current situation for BoP is a direct byproduct of their performance at the LeMans race last year. Doesn't mean they aren't frustrated by the process, just that they appreciate the context of having to carry an extra passenger with (in aggregate) 50 less hp.

Fake news Rex! :lol

That article wasn't about BoP. It was about the points system used to determine the season-end championship. I don't buy the logic of eliminating Le Mans, the most important race in the season, from the points calculation.

Ah, caught me....it was a 'related' story, same crazy people administering the programs. Just took the opportunity to help cast light on the depth of the Porsche push to control all 4 classs. Agree, reducing the points/importance of the LeMans race would be detrimental to the endurance racing crown.
