And that's one of the problems. These teams are screwing themselves out of opportunities. That was the same way with the R8. Audi almost never had problems, and when they did, something as bad or worse will happen to the opposition, or would still simply be out ran.
And I don't understand people using the fact that the R10 was diesel powered as an excuse for their problems. The R8 had a whole back end that could be changed in 4 minutes-no one complained( or atleast loudly). Then the R8 used FSI direct fuel injection, and made more power, and ran 1-2 more laps at LM than anything else. Again, no one complained. To me, the saddest thing about IMSA's competition adjustments(and the ACO's new rules) is that it gives too many people too many reasons to whine. Just like NASCAR of a few years ago. The only way to stop this is used spec cars-which is not what Le Mans type sportscar racing is about.
