Probably. I think NASCAR teams all carry the camera pod even if they don't have a camera, but I may be off on that. I remember this being an issue there many years ago.

I also think the ACO Data Logger rule change is interesting. Does anyone want to try to make sense of it? I can take a guess, but I was wondering if anyone had anything concrete.

However, that setup is intermediate between a current LMP1 and the previous LMP2 setups, as they have stuck to the narrower LMP2 tires.
Dyson made some pretty significant modifications to their #16 chassis prior to Lime Rock. I don't know whether that changed their weight and tire size, but they have been pretty busy. I think the #20 car will get the changes soon.
