^^^ My thought exactly Adrian. It seems to me that low tire pressure was a far greater advantage than a 1mm skid plate wear issue. But I don't know enough about either. Is it maybe that the skid plate wear sets a defacto limitation on spring rates (and/or ride height) in the car and that's why it is critical. i.e. - run whatever springs and ride height you want, but if your skid plate wears down, beware. I'm thinking maybe Penske ran soft springs with the rain forecast in mind (the rain never came).
I think IMSA was gun shy at Daytona, being the first race of the new GTP era.
Oh well, Penske is appealing the decision. Good to see BMW win though because all manufacturers have now won a race.
