Interesting, you can still see the old arrangement of spring/dampers (transversal). BTW I can't see the difference on the aero (the sidepods have changed?)

Did you not watch the end of Petit? The entire end was disrupted by GTs starting ahead of prototypes, thus changing that rule changes an entire race. But maybe that's not much to some?

Please actually read my comment. I never said it didn't happen, I said those matters RARELY caused issues last year. Some issues at the end of a single race does not suddenly mean it was happening all the time.

Of course Mazda couldn’t run because of engine issues.

77 was out there:
***The opening day of the IMSA-sanctioned Daytona test saw 17 of the 18 entered (see below) cars take to the track, with only the No. 55 Mazda RT24-P not turning laps as it underwent a precautionary engine change following issues from a recent test at Sebring.

Without full factory support 3GT is struggling to find money/Sponsorship to run a second Lexus according to SC365.

Also, they have introduced fuel flow meters as part of the double check on burn rates in imsa so they can adjust tank sizes |

The more data they get, the better. They said that there won't be fuel flow changes, it's only to have another measurement.
There are several new things on the cars, spliter, engines, suspension, aero. BTW, how good the Acura sounds on the banking. |

But you have!
You are right it shouldn’t be dragged out any further. This has been reviewed by the staff and consider it closed. Thank you. Let’s get back to the interesting things happening on track. I’m seeing the racing cars and how they get on as we move towards Daytona... |

WTR had their engine confiscated by Imsa so they had to go home early. Couldn't they wait until after the dang test???

On ther other side, Onroak's aero update for the Ligier arrived later, making Derani's 30 hours flight from Japan a nonsense trip. We know, this is an IMSA test, and not a team's test, but come on!. |

why GM engine has been confiscated by IMSA?
maybe IMSA wants to find out how the beast can be as powerfull as other engines and have a better fuel milliage with >10L less in fuel tank |

To take the engine before the test is over and force a team to go home, it suggests foul play. If it was just to see what it can do, it'd be at the end of the test.

Also makes me wonder if they already knew this last year but let it slide as wtr won the first five races and the championship.
