The #25 M Hybrid V8 of Yelloly and Connor De Phillippi lost the lead in the final six minutes of the six-hour race at the iconic Watkins Glen track in upstate New York to the #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963.
But the Nick Tandy/Mathieu Jaminet-crewed Porsche was stripped of victory when its underfloor skid block measured less than the permitted minimum thickness. The PPM team has since stated that it will “collect all of the data and follow the protest procedure” after claiming the front skid wear was “less than 1mm outside of the legal tolerance”.
