Can we just not talk about Long Beach?

BMW cannot catch a break. Tomczyk threw some shade in the M6 GTLM's direction on twitter post-race. Had to power cycle the car while P1. You gotta be kidding me ?

The M6 whales are just unreliable.

drjoe66 · 04-09-2017, 08:53 AM

...and slow....

So painful to watch. If it's not brakes, it's gearboxes. If it's not gearboxes, it's electrical.

Sigh.

Tomczyk was crushing it though, eh? They need to pair him up with Sims... and a reliable car.

The M6 had decent pace at Long Beach. Does anyone know if they got a BoP bump?

Yes, they got a boost increase in the mid RPM range and a bit more fuel, although I don't recall the specifics. They were very optimistic prior to the race.

That's great. The cars did seem to be more on the level with the rest of the GTLM field. Too bad it took until LB for IMSA to throw them a bone.
