Yahoo Autos Every Lamborghini in Daytona 24 Penalized for Alleged Sandbagging
Though they may not have finished well in the 24 Hours of Daytona, the Lamborghini Huracans in the GTD class were way faster than anything else in the class by a wide margin. In fact, the fastest race lap set by a Huracan (1:45.873) was less than two seconds slower than the fastest lap in the GT LM class.
This didn't go unnoticed by other teams, and it definitely didn't go unnoticed by IMSA, which just penalized all five Huracans in the race by adding a pitstop and five more minutes to their overall time. This is after IMSA took the engines from the Huracans and dyno tested them after the race.
IMSA alleges that the Lamborghinis were sandbagging through practice and qualifying, and only showed their true speed in the race, hence the penalty under the rules establishing a balance of performance (BoP) from car-to-car in class.
