So as discussed elsewhere we have more adjustments for Long Beach:


Porsche 911 GT3 RSR -> Weight -20kg
= 1200kg (now -45kg from GTE base weight)

Corvette C6.R -> Fuel flow restrictor +6mm
= 38mm (now +6 from GTE base fuel restrictor (E85))

P2 Lola B11 -> Weight -20kg
= 900kg (now same as everyone else)


The Lola adjustment is justified IMHO but the other two are mind boggling once again. I'm a Corvette fan of course but they've been getting so many unnecessary breaks as of late that it's getting a bit ridiculous. They already got a bigger fuel flow restrictor last fall, and on top of that during the winter break they gained another 0,4mm to their already generous air restirctor.

As for Porsche... it's disappointing, they're now easily the lightest car of the top contenders (apart from Aston but that car is sort of a joke alltogether in terms of BoP). They got break last year too and were running at 1220kg (or was it 1225kg) at Long Beach and were somewhat easily on top of the time sheets
