It just seems like the car isn't as nimble in the corners, BOP might be able to take some weight out of the car to rectify this, we'll see. There's only so much you can do with a blocky, large car when racing against low, sleek mid-engine cars.
I'm happy they achieved this result, and I'm confident they'll improve as time goes on. I just don't see this thing being as competitive as the gt sadly.
Ford did it with the gt dude. They won at Laguna Secca and at Le mans in their first year. I'm not expecting the mustangs to get first constantly. But in most races, they've been near the back of the pack.
You expect a brand new team with a brand new car to get podiums right out of the gate? Thats not at all realistic. They’re still learning how to setup the car and how to drive it. Not to mention BOP rules.
The saddest part was the car that got hit, was in 2nd pushing for the lead, and almost getting it. He was the fastest of the mustangs in qualifying, so there was a change he would have placed even better.
I do hope the mustangs are competitive some day. Third and fourth isn't bad, but this is the only podium the mustangs have had all season on WEC or IMSA.
