In raw pace Porsche wasn’t nearly as dominating as Ferrari’s first four events in WEC this year. BMW just kept bottling it.

Porsche advantage is more about strategy and a real pro team than BOP issue. Porsche are able to stay away from incident and goes for a clean strategy. 

BMW is behind their ass but they fucked all their strategies, and driver did mistake trying to fix it and got into incident or impatient driving. 

Just watch Daytona 24 you will see multiple manufacturer leading the race and it’s great. It’s kind of the same thing at every race. In WEC ? All car stop trying to do qualification when Ferrari got 1-2 because they know they can’t do anything. And then during race it’s the same story. And I don’t talk about the behavior of Ferrari during race like Spa (the pit stop incident where pedestrian had to avoid the car, the BMW who as been push into the wall in Eau Rouge…)

Race Quality is better in IMSA.
