IMSA screwed up - there's a minimum time for a restrictor change being issues and the next event to allow the team adequate time to remap the engine.
IMSA got the update in too late and have also chosen not to enforce the Porsche weight addition, which they would have been entitled to do because it can be implemented with less notice. I guess penalising Porsche and not the BMW would have caused uproar.
Having said that, the whole thing stinks. The Porsche had faster straightline speeds than the BMW at Lime Rock as Bergmeister pressed hard at the end of the race. Plus the Corvettes, Porsches and BMWs had similar straightline speeds at Le Mans.
People don't seem to want to see that the BMW is being brilliantly setup by RLL and they haven't made a mistake all year. Tyres don't suck either to be fair :-)
