To me your second paragraph made any complaining about Daytona bop moot. Its a lack of development that is the reason these cars aren't lasting. Its the same lack of development in relation to the caddys that is why they were so off at Daytona.

I mean, I get it, we have to bop I guess. But what we had at Sebring is just about right. It just so happens the fastest car is the most reliable this time, rather than intersport or Dyson scooting off at the start just to blow up. Its what makes Mazda so comical. They detune it and run a slower pace to last till the halfway point lol. If you're gonna blow, at least tune it up and lead early and go out in a blaze of glory lol.
