Yep, Chris put down a 2:03 in the Viper without even pushing it to the limit on Thursday, BMW got worried about being embarrassed by a private team and got IMSA to put a 20% restrictor plate on the car before qualifying, which caused it problems with revving besides just the power loss, effectively screwing a small team who spent the entire off season working 110% to get their car where it needed to be to be competitive this year, they even switched to a premier tire brand at great expense. I was happy to see one BMW barely even run and the other blow its engine after five hours; go M power.
