Porsche stripped of win at Glen!
This is really lame AF but any day a P car is stripped of a win and hands BMW a win, is a WIN! It was a great race, all 3 hours of it.

Porsche Penske to protest Watkins Glen penalty
“Following post-race inspection at Watkins Glen International, IMSA has penalized the No. 6 entry in the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen citing that the front skid wear of the No. 6 Porsche 963 was less than one millimeter outside the legal tolerance,” Porsche Penske Motorsport said in a statement. “The rear skid wear was noted to be well within the legal tolerance. Porsche Penske Motorsport plans to collect all of the data and follow the protest procedures.” Sources at BMW, however, indicate that they believe PPM will come well armed with data to the protest, and aren’t quite ready to celebrate the marque’s first GTP win until the protest has been settled. The IMSA sporting regulations do not give a specific time period for when such a protest must be decided. https://racer.com/2023/06/26/porsche...-glen-penalty/ |

If the stewards' regulation measure rule can't get into the wing slot then you-are-out. Cheats never prosper.

Who Massi? He got scapegoated by the FIA for directing a race instead of a parade. They then appointed new people too afraid to penalize hammy. Hasn't worked tho, scHAM still gets his a$$ handed to him every race weekend. So, all is well

There is also the issue of rained out qualifying and limited testing to determine block wear.
Also it is the first time these cars have run at the Glen so it's hard to extrapolate the wear in a 6 hour even. My two cents is there should be a penalty but forfeiture of the win seem way too severe to me. I expect Porsche Penske to get the win back but take a hit in points? |

That 0.1mm could easily translate to 1.1s over 6 hours, not accounting for tire wear, fuel consumption, etc It's fair... Coz bmw won Last edited by G30M; 07-04-2023 at 04:56 PM.. |
