Two brief pieces of news have come in with just a few hours left until the Indianapolis 8 Hour Race.
The #33 Team WRT BMW M4 GT3 has undergone an engine change and will start from the rear of the 23-car field.
The change was made due to a technical problem discovered after the Pole Shootout, where Dan Harper originally qualified eighth.
It’s the latest twist in a strange saga for the #33 car, which only arrived Thursday afternoon after freight delays caused by the recently-resolved dockworkers’ strike.
The other story is a race day Balance of Performance adjustment: Two models, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R and Ferrari 296 GT3, each received 10-kilogramme weight reductions.
Neither of the two DXDT Racing Corvettes or AF Corse Ferraris made it into the Super Pole session yesterday.
