Question: Does this mean the Gibson based LMP2 class will probably lap Daytona in 2019 at the pace of the 2014-2016 LMP2 configuration cars now?
Not likely at Daytona, at least. 10kg is very little in the big picture, and they'd have to restrict the revs rather significantly to overcome the reduced drag of the narrower body.
