Adjustments are in. Will be interesting to see how much the aero penalty will affect things.

In GTLM, BMW's new M8 GTE is the only model to lose weight between the Roar and Rolex 24 (-10kg, 1240kg total). Boost increased throughout almost the entire 7000rpm rev range for the BMW's twin-turbo V8 have has also been applied, and the M8 will have an increase in fuel capacity (+6L, 93L total), and will flow fuel faster during pit stops (+3.0mm).

Corvette's C7.R (+1L, 91L total), Ford's GT (+2L, 91L total, and +1.0mm), and Porsche's 911 RSR (-3L, 92L total, -1.0mm) also have capacity or flow changes in store for their cars. Only Ferrari's 488 GTE was left out of fuel-related adjustments.

On the aero front, Corvette will lose top speed with a taller minimum rear wing angle (up from 0deg to 2deg) and Ford has also been hit with the same change (up from 2deg to 5deg).

Joey qualified the 66 at .019 behind the #3 Vette. Vette needed a tow to get that time but that's racing. Westbrook slotted the 67 into 5th. Go Boys, go Blue!!

Lets take a deep breath and brace for the impact.

Actually better would be to speed everyone else up. There should be more of a speed delta to the GTD cars.

I’m okay with it. We just showed the world the capabilities of this car...again. We know it’s coming. Now it’s up to Ganassi to figure out the next chess move.

Very true,if it were not for BOP today's finish would most likely be repeated on a regular basis. I guess we will be back to the "everyone gets a trophy", except Ford for Sebring?
