Balance of performance discussions – often aimed at Ford – aren't always justfied, current WEC GTE Pro points leader Andy Priaulx explained to RACER.


I'm not surprised by our performance at the Test Day," said Priaulx, who races with the Ford Chip Ganassi Team UK in the No.67 GT along with Harry Tincknell and Pipo Derani. "We're slower than last year, but with different BoP. It seems to be that Ferrari on the same BoP as last year are slower than us last year, slower than the fastest Porsche. I don't think it's worth talking about until after the race, until Sunday night, then we can see how wrong everybody got it. "To be honest, everyone thinks: 'Ford this, Ford that,' but just take a good look around at everyone else. We're getting hung left, right and center for winning last year, but we're racers, everyone else has been tittering around while we went out and won races, and this year, we won Silverstone. We have pushed like crazy.
"I would say put the mirror on the wall, maybe Ferrari should look at where they're at, and see where they are come race day. Let's see. Let's see."
