IMSA Reigns In The DPs

Let the whines begin…

As expected, IMSA announced today that the DP category cars will receive power reductions via restrictor changes, in an attempt to allow the P2 type cars to compete for overall victories. Thus far, the P2 cars have been able to record comparable lap times under certain conditions when compared to the DP cars, but in race and race traffic conditions, it really hasn’t really been close – the DPs have been the cars to beat.

The Chevy Corvette DPs have a restrictor size decrease of 1mm (from 33.8mm to 32.8), while the Ford Eco Boost powered cars will have a 0.9mm smaller restrictor, as well as a boost reduction.

The P2 cars have been untouched for the 4th race of the season, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

The TUSCC cars take to the track next Saturday, May 3rd.
