I was just coming here to post that F-C, incredible! Too bad MSR gets to keep the trophy/watches and win. https://sportscar365.com/imsa/iwsc/m...hFdr-2f_L-uZzg

I feel really bad for Wayne Taylor Racing. If I was Rolex, I'd at least make right somewhat by giving watches to the WTR team, with "True Champion" engraved on the back.

I don't understand how IMSA can DQ everything about MSR except for the actual results, If you take away the race points and the prize money from a car, that means the car is DQ'ed!

What is IMSA afraid of?????

I agree 1 million percent. How do you place first after you've been penalized out of first? What is this, the Tour de France or something?

At my brother's yesterday and he gave me this bottle of wine from a friend of his that produces in CA. It's to commemorate the Rolex 24 of course. https://shop.adoberoadwines.com/prod...ies&position=3



Total set, I got "The 24."

Meyer Shank Racing’s run at next week’s Petit Le Mans, the IMSA season season finale, will mark the team’s 351st and last sports car outing until a new program can be established.

Despite its ongoing efforts to find a new factory initiative to lead for 2024, MSR team owners Mike Shank and Jim Meyer ran out of time to conclude a deal to continue in IMSA next season. Talks will continue in the weeks and months ahead, and with a championship-winning crew to look after, MSR will continue to employ the members of its GTP program to have a turnkey operation that’s ready to act once its next IMSA relationship is forged.

I guess cheating was not appreciated by Acura.

Yeah that was a big moment...

MSR is focusing on Indy. They'll be greatly missed in the IMSA championship. Awesome tea6

Why did the 2024 Rolex 24 end a lap early??

While the premature finish likely didn’t impact the result, many are questioning why race officials at IMSA’s watchmaker-backed endurance classic seemingly couldn’t tell the time.

Because IMSA is incompetent? Giving MSR a pass last year, and now finishing one lap early.

"a pass?" MSR got fined, lost points, and tech head got perma-banned.

I didn't watch the race but it was cool to read about Penske in the winners circle, last time for Daytona was 55 years ago.
