“It was great watching Jenson climb out of the car for the first time,” Johnson said. “He was speechless for a while and his eyes were so big. He’s like, ‘How can it have so much power and so little grip?’

Not sure there was much of that worth watching with no cautions until 8 and a half hours in (still somehow didn't set the GT3 lap record for this event) and the BMWs completely dominant.  Only 10 cars on track after the cup 911s got done with their sprint in the first hour. 

Next race in IGTC is 24 Hours of Spa, which is usually fantastic.  GT World Challenge America kicks off at Sonoma March 30-April 2.

MSR Has “Taken Responsibility” for Rolex 24 Tire Manipulation

Meyer Shank Racing has “taken responsibility” for the penalties imposed on the team by IMSA after it was found the No. 60 Acura ARX-06 crew manipulated tire pressure data in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The Ohio-based squad won the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season opener but was penalized on Wednesday by the sanctioning body after Honda Performance Development discovered the infraction following the posting of the official race results.

Both the team and drivers lost 200 of its 350 WeatherTech Championship points earned in the race, all team and driver points from the Michelin Endurance Cup, loss of race prize money as well as a $50,000 fine.
