Meyer Shank Racing's Daytona 24-winning Acura was manipulating tire pressure data.
This year's Rolex 24 at Daytona, the first outing for the new GTP class and its hybrid LMDh race cars, was a classic, with the No. 60 Acura ARX-06 from Meyer Shank Racing, driven by Helio Castroneves, Colin Braun, Simon Pagenaud, and Tom Blomqvist was the class of the field and took the overall win.However, IMSA announced a major penalty against the team on Wednesday due to an infringement that saw them manipulating tire pressure data.
Revocation of IMSA annual credential and indefinite suspension of IMSA membership for team engineer Ryan McCarthy. The sweeping penalty does not strip the drivers or team of the win, the trophy, or the watches. That also means the results of the race have not changed, but you can be sure there'll be a lot of grumbling behind the scenes from other teams that could see this as the Shank team gaining the advantage that let them win the race. In a statement, Meyer Shank said it accepts the verdict and penalties from IMSA, and it apologized to Acura, HPD, and all of its partners.
