Sunday was a good day for Mazda, as team driver Oliver Jarvis needed just 1:33.398 to lap Daytona International Speedway in his Mazda RT24-P. Not only was it the fastest time set during IMSA’s Roar Before the 24 Qualifying session, but it beats the qualifying record set by Dan Gurney’s All American Racers Toyota GTP team back in 1993.
Second …
Awesome! Hope Mazda does really well this year, they deserve it! And thanks Mazda for remaining an "enthusiast" car company, your product line is great and the newly updated Miata is the best one ever.
Does this mean they will get smacked with bop stuff?

I dunno but a good question.
How much competition do they have this year?
You can see the results here, but in the qualifying session the top five cars were within a second: Mazda, Mazda, Acura, Cadillac, Cadillac.
In a world of increasingly weird looking prototypes, that RT24-P is a really good looking racecar...

In reply to wvumtnbkr :
BoP Balance of Performance changes were supposed to make the LMP2 cars competitive with DPi cars. Now IMSA has separated the classes again, so no BoP necessary to equalize the LMP2s and the DPis. I think IMSA is not going to BoP between DPis; I hope not!
Search for "montoya imsa bop insane"
Oh, I thought imsa used the roar to help determine bop between manufacturers in every class.
Well, we know how that turned out.
I'm hopeful for 2020.
At least they've finally got a couple of wins to show for all that speed. Things are definitely trending in the right direction for them.
