An interesting (to me) insight into how P&M deal with running LM as well as the regular IMSA season: at Laguna Seca both cars ran WEC-spec Michelins, not the IWSC-spec tyres used until then. In previous years the WEC tyres were also run at Sebring, but recently the decision was taken to use the softer, less stiff IMSA-spec (i.e. Daytona) tyre. Post Le Mans the development is merged so there is only one spec for the rest of the season.

Not that it'll do the Vettes much good with the smaller restrictor being slapped on them and various breaks handed out to every other car...
