I did a couple of fun articles about what we learnt during the Roar. It's just testing, but it's worth speculating about.

I think some "BoP" is still off in GTD. The Mercedes AMG is the slowest car on the banking in the class on the trap speeds. That is car is generally not known for being slow in straight light speed. I'm tired of IMSA hampering this car's performance!

Wow Af Corse..umm. I mean Risi now has added Davide Rigon to join Vilander, Pier Guidi, and Colado. Wow!

Doesn't it have the biggest engine though, at 6.2L? Maybe the car is hit with bop so hard because of that? I think the Audi is the next closest with the 5.2L

Mercedes folks haven't written a big enough number on the napkin they casually slide across the cluttered bar-room table while they sit in some shadowy corner discussing how fair the BoP is. "So ... you made us wait a season because you didn't want to pay the 'Partner' fee .... well ..."
