What is wrong with a competitive series where the GTP teams get a chance to show what they can do without middling adjustments in the form of BOP?
The races boil down to the sanctioning body having as much say about who wins and who loses on a race-by-race basis as competitors.
The BOP may be more of a problem for the old-school fans and is perhaps considered a necessary evil by the younger fans who have not known anything different in U.S. sports car endurance racing under the ownership and direction of the France family. The GTP cars are beautiful examples of technology that relate to the automotive marketplace. Due to their weight and full bodies, one could argue these prototypes and the Hypercars in the World Endurance Championship are the most complicated racing cars on any grid in the world—even with the shared common components used in the GTP hybrid drivetrains.
I would suggest a more open format—without BOP each race—would better align IMSA’s premier category with the formats of other major series and help generate more followers and fans. What can IMSA do to continue to build its fan base beyond adding an endurance race at Indianapolis next season and convergence?Even with a generally observed convention among competitors not to talk about it, the fans know it’s there. The races boil down to the sanctioning body having as much say about who wins and who loses on a race-by-race basis as competitors.
One argument is that the weight adjustment to the GTP cars, which has ranged within a span of 35 pounds among the four manufacturers—does not make a significant difference in lap times. Those changes are coordinated with the rate of energy harvested by the hybrid system and the maximum level of energy allowed per stint.
