IMSA Makes “Manual” BoP Adjustments for Detroit – Sportscar365

IMSA 'manually' adjusts Balance of Performance for Detroit amid Laguna Seca results...

sportscar365.com

The Cadillac will lose 29 Kilos in Detroit, while also gaining an increase of 11 kW (15 HP) in Stage 1 (under 200kph). The Acura gets a much larger buff in power at 21 kW (28 HP) in Stage 1, while shedding 22 Kilos from Laguna Seca.

Now, I very much believe that both the Cadillac and the Acura GTPs were in desperate need of a break when it came to BoP, but this seems a tad extreme imo. The Acura will have the strongest BoP on the grid, similar to where BMW was in Daytona and Sebring, while the Porsche (if my head math is correct) will now be both the heaviest and least powerful GTP car on the grid (in fact, I believe that it'll be slightly heavier in Detroit compared to its BoP in WEC).

If it were up to me, I would've just given the Acura and Cadillac reduced weight, and maybe a slight bump in power to boot. As it stands, this just feels like IMSA going out of their way to stop Porsche Penske from winning again.

That was a painful broadcast to watch, a lot of lag, no sound, poor microphones etc...

R.Taylor can consider himself lucky with his move on Nasr.
A stunning overtake from Van Der Zande for the lead! Oh my...

Thats weird they had streaming issues because Peacock was fine and only had a few breaks so I didnt need the Hindy feed. Acura makes the most of the BOP change and beats GM in their driveway and Ford gets a win from pole over Corvette.
