No. 8 LMP2 Entry Penalized for Technical Infraction at Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A technical infraction has moved the No. 8 LMP2 entry to last in class in the Daytona 24-hour race.

During extended post-race technical inspection, the No. 8 entry was found to have exceeded the maximum allowable wear to the regulated area of the skid block on the underside of the car. According to FIA Technical Regulation 3.5.6 regarding skid blocks, the maximum allowable wear is 5 mm.

When informed of the penalty, the No. 8 team filed a protest which was denied by IMSA.

As a result of the penalty, the provisional results will reflect that the No. 8 is now scored 12th and last in the LMP2 class. The No. 22 entry moves into first place in the LMP2 race results with all other cars moving forward accordingly.
