[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16490553, member: 159453"] That Daytona prototype, as I understand it, was a test bed for the GT program, at least for the power train. At the time, the rules were in favor of sub 4L turbo engines, so they had an advantage. From what I can tell, the entire thing had been planned, we didn't see the true pace of the GT until they hit Le Mans and they were crushing everyone (except Ferrari) by like 7s per lap. I remember reading that was the first time they ever imposed a BoP after qualifying because there was so much dominance by the two cars. Ultimately I think that pissed off the series though, because they were BoP'd so hard they had a really hard time competing. It's certainly speculation and "rules are rules" but Ben Keating (in a privateer FGT) got his win stripped away at Le Mans because they car held .1L more fuel than it did before the race. [/QUOTE]
