Acura has been hit with the biggest weight handicap of all GTP manufacturers for the second round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, the 12 Hours of Sebring, on 18 March ⬇️
Acura, Cadillac, Porsche and BMW all had to adhere to the same minimum weight limit of 1030kg for the first race for IMSA's new breed of hybrid-powered LMDh cars, the Daytona 24 Hours in January.
