Finally, at long last, IMSA has approved a slight bump in maximum allowed power to the MINI JCW Team this week heading into this weekend’s race at Canadian Motorsports Park. The new rules allow for a Maximum Boost Pressure of 2170 mbar Absolute (a 50 mbar increase from the previous 2120 mbar Absolute limit). If you are wondering what that translates to in PSI, the MINIs will now be able to run a max boost of 31.5 PSI instead of the previous value of 30.7 PSI. While it does not sound like much (and in reality it isn’t), the team will surely take what they can get to help even the playing field with the other cars that are putting out a bit more power. Special thanks to Mike Bober from That MINI Show for sending this information in!
