Wayne Taylor Racing has been stripped of its podium achieved at the 12 Hours of Sebring, where it finished in third position with its #10 Cadillac V-Series.R. The decision was made after a post-race technical inspection revealed a violation of camber rules.
The drivers Ricky Taylor, Will Stevens, and Filipe Albuquerque had celebrated their performance, but IMSA has stated that the camber of the tires was beyond the permitted limit. As a consequence, Wayne Taylor Racing has fallen back to the twenty-first position in the overall standings.
This penalty has awarded third place to the #31 Whelen Cadillac, driven by Jack Aitken, Earl Bamber, and Frederik Vesti, which thus climbed onto the podium. However, the incident did not affect other moments of the race, where the victory of Penske was confirmed with a remarkable 1-2.
Additionally, the #912 Manthey Porsche 911 GT3R has also been penalized, now positioned at the bottom of the GTD category, as Riccardo Pera did not meet the required minimum driving time, thus affecting his classification.
Now, the situation of Wayne Taylor Racing adds to a race finish with unresolved tensions within the Porsche team, where there were confrontations between Felipe Nasr and Kevin Estre over team orders in the final hours of the race.
