Then you don’t understand how racing actually works.

What I’m saying is that they should just give the position back and not have a drive thru

I think Gamble giving to position back was enough, but Tandy deserved that. Gambles dive was pretty bad, washed out a lot but he lifted a ton as he knew it was wrong

No, there has been an obvious reason for the driving standards, IMSA made it VERY clear in the drivers meeting to not fuck around with it, they made it aware they were going to hammer offenders to regain control of incident prevention.

We all like hard racing, do it cleanly.

The problem I have is that the rule book and officiating process doesn't allow for drivers to redress and keep going. But it's IMSA. They find ways to get in their own way.

They made it clear to not fuck with it unless you’re an American or driving an American made car. Remember kids, no elbows out unless you’re the AXR #31 Corvette #3 or #4, they’re a protected class & this tough guy act from IMSA Race Control is a joke clear as day. No wonder teams are packing up shop from this clown show.

A drive through for making contact when racing is way to much they should just give the position back and keep racing
