IMSA has released its final Balance of Performance—oh, sorry, Adjustment of Performance—figures for next weekend’s Tudor United SportsCar Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona. The new numbers, based on results from the 2015 Roar Before the 24, show no radical readjustments for the most part.
In the Prototype class, little was changed except fuel capacity, which was increased for five of the eight makes. The Ligier-Judd got a significant (40 kg) weight reduction to counter the fact that it has the smallest naturally-inducted engine (3.6 liters versus five and five-and-a-half for the Daytona Prototypes.)
As it stands, weights will be as follows: The Ligier-Judd and Lola-Mazda diesel will race at 900 kg, HPD-Hondas and Ligier-Hondas at 940 kg, and all Daytona Prototypes at 1039 kg. The DeltaWing weighs in at 515 kg.
