The No. 22 WeatherTech Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R entry, owned by WeatherTech founder and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship sponsor David MacNeil, is expected to announce the conclusion of its season in the GT Daytona class, effective immediately. The No. 22 program, run by Florida's Alex Job Racing, would likely shift to the Pirelli World Challenge series for the remainder of 2016.
It's believed the source of the withdrawal is rooted in an ongoing dispute with IMSA regarding the Balance of Performance (BoP) tables created for the 911 GT3 R. Contentious debates between Porsche GTD teams and the series regarding the car's BoP are said to have taken place since the most recent round at Road America.
The decision by MacNeil to withdraw from the series could be linked to today's release of IMSA's BoP tables for the Aug. 26-28 Michelin GT Challenge At VIRginia International Raceway event where no performance modifications were granted for the Porsche.
The No. 22 led by Cooper MacNeil, sits eighth in the championship with a pair of fifth-place finishes at its best results. The No. 23 entry, which is sponsored by a different company and entered under the Team Seattle/Alex Job Racing banner, would continue in GTD as scheduled.
The third and final full-time Porsche GTD entry from Park Place Motorsports for Jorg Bergmeister and team owner Patrick Lindsay is 10th in the standings. Their No. 73 911 GT3 R finished second at Road America and also took second at Belle Isle in Detroit.
Official confirmation of the No. 22's plans are expected to land within the next 24 hours.

Just read that. Wonder if Leh Keen's release was connected ? They no longer need the second driver...

Veloce Raptor

I was wondering the same thing. Single driver cars. Second driver not needed.

tcsracing1

makes sense

GuyIncognito

a series sponsor taking team sponsorship to a rival series makes sense?

Seemed strange to me, too, but 1) may be cheaper and 2) increases brand exposure to a new series/audience.

Just hoping Leh Keen comes out on top when all is said and done.

I'll just leave this here:

^^^^Those outfits were laser measure for each model's specific measurements^^^^^

Haha.

Still, I think they need more 'toe.'

Veloce Raptor

But clearly they nailed the aero package, and looks like stellar clear bra installations...

LexVan

Your wish, is my command:

Coochas

Nice.
Now a question for the set up gurus. Is that technically toe in or toe out? Or toe up?

Coochas

Hehehe.
