“To be frank about it, part of the reason we aren’t continuing, is because there’s a performance gap too, between DPi and P2s. From the BoP point of view, IMSA is making progress, going back from when it was P2s and DPs, progress has come on quicker this time.

“But from the nature of the two cars, even with the same chassis, it’s more than just the same cars with new aero and a new engine. “The reality with it is that it’s not just the engine, it’s the suspension package you can develop, so when you look at, for us, our ORECA 07 compared to the Acura Penske cars, speaking to the drivers they were saying that at Sebring the bumpiness was far less than for the P2s.

“At Daytona, the DPis can come out of corners better, they’re more complient. Even though we could make the same lap times, with good drivers, for them to make the time it they had to be on the edge. But the DPis can consistently get that lap time running at 95%. It puts us at more risk.

“It’s always hard to see unless you see really in depth. The only way to make it truly better I think, is allowing us open development on the global P2 package.”

I reckon Jackie should buy a Ginetta if he wants that, DPi is clearly not the formula for him.
