Kimi7 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

I do like to see the lap summaries that dhh puts together, they can be quite informative. Same thing with the GT-Eins lap graphics.
agreed

Sometimes I think there is a perception that the prototype drivers in IMSA arent quite as good as top end ones racing in WEC. I have felt this way at times but then you look at the data and its not often that the ones who come over for Rolex or Sebring really outshine the full-time guys.

Look at the sebring data. Cameron faster than conway, barbossa and fittipaldi faster than albequerque, both taylors faster than Lynn, Van Der Zande faster than Rast

Also can look at when JDC brought in Beche who is clearly very fast, but Simpson was actually the one who was quicker by DHHs stat.

there is some value in having run that car a bit more but clearly none of the lead IMSA guys are scrubs
