Park Place Pulls Porsche GTD Entry for VIR

Park Place Motorsports will also not take part in next weekend’s Michelin GT Challenge at VIR, with its Porsche 911 GT3 R parked for the upcoming IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship round, due to Balance of Performance concerns.

The news follows the withdrawal of the No. 22 WeatherTech Racing Porsche for the remainder of the WeatherTech Championship season, citing the same reason.

“The truth is, for a while, several races back, we’ve been in discussions with the series about what we have felt was an improper Balance of Performance on the Porsche," Park Place team owner/driver Patrick Lindsey told Sportscar365.

“Our view, which may or may not be expressed by other teams, is that what the series is doing is more driver BoP. It’s very elaborate.

“We feel that it’s too much energy looking at the minutia and they’re kind of missing the big picture.

“After Lime Rock, we were really surprised and disappointed by the BoP adjustment for Road America. We totally didn’t want to go to Road America but we went anyway."
