Actually that Ferrari pic is from Dubai 24h (?), at least in DPs it's going to be in the window:

I remember them during the Spa 24 last year.

Having been trackside, those didn't really help a lot imho

The DP's have them in the window. Most of the GT cars have them just forward of the rear wheel on the bottom.

Couldn't find a pic in the imsa.com galleries, but looks like it is possible to put them in lots of places since the board is made of some elastic material (!?):

If the placement for P2 and LMPC cars is like in the ESM pic, it looks like it's going to drop from the slightest contact.

It's pasted on like a decal rather than 'screwed' on or something like that, using very light flexible LED-material, so I assume it's quite resistant. Good point though, it's a rather odd place on that proto.

Pretty impressed that the little Dutch company has made it overseas. Clever ideas do still sell these days! :p

Really looking forward to this race. Disappointed they slowed the DPs down.

His car is only too fast because the DPs have been allowed to make them artificially fast. If you go by the old rules then his car isn't even remotely close. So if he doesn't want to spend money to adjust the speed of his car, then that should work both ways and we should go back to DPs being too slow to compete then.

This was always going to happen and it was always going to be the DP owners who created the biggest fuss because they're the ones with cars which are the wrong speed. So frankly he'll have to live with it.

You have to read Magnus Racing's twitter war with driver Ryan Eversley. The payoff is amazing.

They "argued" back and forth for a while. (you can just read these top to bottom)

And then it ended like this.

My God Mazda is awful. Their P2s are slower than the entire GT field.
