The M6 had a good strategy call and some good yellow flags that allowed it to get to the top, but I always feel like they are the underdog and the other GTLM cars can more than match its speed.
Yeah, the fact that this was a sprint race makes it a much tougher call. Daytona and Sebring are very different races, so my call could absolutely be off. I felt like the M6 GTLM was able to fight off attacks though. At both Daytona and Sebring, the competition were driving around the M6 GTLM like it was traffic. I hope the BoP package actually helped, but I agree it remains to be seen.
