Where are you seeing boost pressure? Is 2 bar 1 bar + atmospheric or 29 pounds of boost pressure?

Like the article said--going into the straight from the curve-BMW-GTLM had the best #'s (green highlights)--having boost of more than 1.9bar from 4000rpm-& over 2.0bar 5000rpm-

Watching the race, you can see them pull on top-end. They have the highest bar/boost and lightest car in GTLM--Is what it is......BMW$$$$$$TO IMSA.

Watched the #25 BMW in-car for just about the whole race and that car was setup nicely. If I was surprised about anything it would be how well it stuck in the turns. They said they had it on a seven-post rig and I'd say that was money well spent.
