    They won together and by way too much. It means the cars had way too much power and probably way too much fuel (not enough pit stops). Expect a big BOP adjustment for the next race.

    Yeah, they should have sandbagged it some ...silly handicap rules suck.

    Unfortunately, IMSA/FIA/WEC penalize the winning team instead of rewarding the losers (ie, slow down the winners instead of giving more power to the losers). That is because the losers are already at their max given that they are running early 2000s technology. I'm surprised the corvettes got another waiver this year. They kicked out the Vipers with their V10 (way out of compliance) two years ago.

    By the time they get to Lime Rock this summer they will be heavily handicapped. I missed the race last July (was way too hot -lol) when they won from a last place start (qualifying issue) and that's a very short track which is not even their strength. Then they dominated at Watkins Glen with a 1-2 finish ...nice long track where they can really turn it loose. So this year the handicaps will make it very tough on them :(
