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 :-)

Ben the simple fact remains that the car was BoPed to make it competitve in a class that, it is now too competitive, at best they should be fighting for wins not dominating them, and that porsche never stood a chance, the porsche was riding the curbes so hard to catch the beemer while they were just cruising to finish, the porsche was pushing so hard that they blew a tire. as for the top speed, it means almost nothing about the engine addvantige the BMW had over the others, we dont know what setups everyone ran, BMWs could have ran a more drag/downforce setup while the porsche ran less and so on, not to mention top speed doesent reflect acceleration, witch is far more important. come on those bmw have around 50hp more then porsche.
lets see how RLL sets up the BMW with 450hp insted of 500.
