Is BOP bias towards Cadillac this event or something?

I don’t know, I don’t follow all of that stuff between events, all I see is that Cadillac are so much faster than anything else

Wait until evening time and cooler temps, that might change the balance quite a bit.

That power advantage clearly helps but I wouldn't call that an OP BOP. Also as already mentioned, Caddy was always strong here starting in the DPi days and the new car also loves this track.

That's true, especially here, Belle Isle and others. It is made tough, and can withstand the punishment, but when the sun sets the Porsche comes alive and gets speedy.

Very small changes compared to Sebring. Now let's wait for WEC BOP |

I find it interesting that in WEC we always hear complaints about BOP and about cars being dominant
Meanwhile in IMSA the Caddys have had pole position at all races so far this year and were the fastest cars in all races but failed to win due to errors, crashes , great 30 mins drive by Nasr in Daytona until Long Beach, yet no one is complaining about it(not saying people should) I guess the nature of IMSA races with a load of FCYs and restarts helps to mask a cars advantage Finally again interesting how the Caddys are dominant in IMSA but struggling in WEC for performance |

Maybe it's because we don't whine as much.

Man, we had to make a whole thread for that instead of in race. It's there but there isn't the bs argument about "purity" of the sport. Possibly the single dumbest thing I hear about sport is the purity of the idea, like it was plucked off a tree in the wilderness

For the record IMSA BoP for Laguna Seca.
Weight (Kg)
And some P/W comparisons including one with WEC BoP. |

Interesting on the line graph that all the cars stayed with very similar P/W ratios through last season, then diverged this year and are finally getting back to similar.

BOP for Detroit:

Weight (Kg)
Max Power (kW)
Energy Allocation (MJ)
Stint Energy Replenishment Rate (MJ/s)
WEC comparison is Detroit and Spa. Except for Lambo, which remains Sebring. |
