I didn't see the incident itself but caught the interview with Wayne Taylor on Peacock where he was dissatisfied with the penalty. The NBC commentators didn't share his sentiment, let's just say that.Wayne Taylor is mad at race control because his car with the sticky throttle destroyed a 296 GTD and gets a penalty for that.![]()
Part of me is thinking that BMW is relying heavily on the overall speed of the cars. It's not...wrong, given their pace compared to the other GTPs, but it is questionable.BMW why u hire Ferrari F1 strategists?
Currently it's putting down similar lap times to the MSR Acuras, and it's best lap so far wedges it between the two WTR Cadillacs.Love seeing the Valkyrie. Hope they can get more pace out of it

If only we saw the Valkyrie more often than the dolphin fountain, lol...Love seeing the Valkyrie. Hope they can get more pace out of it
In fairness, it is still a brand-new chassis, and all of the Valkyries opponents have been present since Day 1 of the LMDh formula. I think we, and AMR, need to give the car at least a year of racing to see how it stacks before seriously considering changing the drivers around. Hell, it's only this year that BMW has been able to become a regular threat at the front.If only we saw the Valkyrie more often than the dolphin fountain, lol...
The pace isn't that bad, but they will need a better driver line up to get more from this car.
The Meatball was the right call, but I would be significantly less salty if Turner was in a position to fight for the win.Shouldn't have leant on the Bimmer...
I'm wondering with it being unable to get by the Aston Martin if that was exactly why. Perhaps Colin was fighting with a wheel he felt was getting loose and the wheel only finally came off on the cool down lap.The Meatball was the right call, but I would be significantly less salty if Turner was in a position to fight for the win.
Edit: Looks like the #6 Penske Porsche is very low on energy. Not sure if that car will have enough for the end.
Edit: Another Porsche 1-2 in GTP, with the #7 car taking the Win. Another win for Rexy as well. The #24 BMW finishes out the Top-3. Funnily enough, this is the 2nd race in a row where the Whelen Cadillac has taken 4th in GTP.
And the #60 MSR Acura...has lost its left-rear tire.![]()
The article also mentions Gnassi as a potential client but I figured they would have the inside line on Ford's LMDh program given their history the the GTLM car.3 straight poles and no wins will do that. Pratt & Miller running BMW GTP's and Corvette GTD's could be interesting, or would the Vette program go elsewhere?
Interesting thing is they also could be in the running for the Genesis IMSA program. For a team that's historically been glued to GT (And GM for that matter), to be eyed up for two major Prototype programs is quite a good look.3 straight poles and no wins will do that. Pratt & Miller running BMW GTP's and Corvette GTD's could be interesting, or would the Vette program go elsewhere?
As I understand it, P&M has a deal with Chevrolet in which they straight-up build all of the Z06 GT3.Rs that are run across the globe. If I had to guess, a deal like that is probably very lucrative for Pratt & Miller, while also lowering the financial/logistical burden for GM itself, so I don't think that'll change anytime soon. On the racing side of things, it ideally shouldn't be a conflict of interest since A) its a different class, and B), in its current state, Corvette Racing is no longer a GM factory team, and as such doesn't get any more support from GM than any of the other teams using the Corvette GT3 car.3 straight poles and no wins will do that.
