Once again, IMSA has found a pragmatic solution to a lingering problem. Following the BoP separation of the private Porsche 963 from JDC-Miller Motorsports from the factory entries, a GTP/Hypercar receives a weight specification outside its original homologation parameters for the first time ever—unless Aston Martin previously ran lower than 1,030 kg in WEC competition, where the BoP remains strictly confidential.
To aid the Aston Martin Valkyrie for the 6-hour race at Watkins Glen International, its minimum weight has been reduced to 1,020 kilograms, breaking the standard 1,030 kg GTP/Hypercar homologation floor.
