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?????

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.

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.
