Joeb hit the nail on the head. BoP doesn't help you finish races, it only keep the competition close enough that nobody can easily run away with a race(in theory, anyway, we all know of IMSA's struggles with this).


You also still have to have a car with a sufficiently quick baseline speed. As Mazda learned in 2017, no amount of BoP will help you if you car just isn't capable of producing speed. No series is going to slow everyone else down by a ridiculous amount of speed because of one car that can't hit the minimal performance that should be expected.
