ICYMI: The IMSA Watkins Glen race-winning Porsche has been stripped of victory due to a technical infraction, handing the win to BMW Full story ⬇️
That’s the way the cars finished as a full-course caution came out a lap later, due to
rolling his Turner Motorsports BMW M4 GTD Car on the approach to the final corner, and the race finished under yellow.But following post-race inspection, the #6 Porsche was found to have a skid block measuring less than the permitted minimum thickness and was moved to the rear of the GTP finishing order, elevating the #25 BMW to victory.
The Porsche is the second IMSA GTP winner to be found to have breached the rules in the five races so far this year in the new LMDh era.Acura that won the Daytona 24 Hours was allowed to keep its victory in the record books, however, as its tyre pressure data manipulation was only discovered following post-race tech inspection – after the results had been declared official – but did suffer a large points deduction.Photo by: Michael L.
It means all four marques participating in the new-for-2023 hybrid-electrified GTP class in its debut season have now won in the first five races.
