The sad part is the P-cars don't have the speed this time around. I think their only hope of winning is for the other teams to make mistakes and outlast them. All three cars qualified last in GTLm. From what I've noticed from last years Sebring test Porsche teams came out on top in testing. No more than a day after testing IMSA was already looking at making the field more equal which they did. Qualifying for Sebring last year shows that Porsche teams were way behind all the other teams. They managed a win only because of their pit strategy.

Looks like they made rule changes and affected Porsche teams again.

I like to think (you know, in that dream world that I live in) that Porsche is sand-bagging (purposefully holding back what they really have until the race to avoid further "equalization"). At least it makes me feel better.

Looks like they were.

Nick Tandy just made a bonehead move. Hope he didn't damage anything.
