Additionally, the Corvette gets 5 kgs of additional weight as well, after topping the time charts on Friday with DXDT Racing’s Matt Bell.
Three GT3 models, meanwhile, have been given BoP breaks ahead of this afternoon’s race, most notably the McLaren 720S GT3 Evo, which gets a 15 kg weight decrease.
Both the Porsche 911 GT3 R and Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo, meanwhile, have 5 kg weight breaks, with the Aston also getting an increase in boost pressures at the low-to-mid RPM levels.
BoP changes have also been made to the cars competing in Pirelli GT4 America as well, with the Aston Martin Vantage GT4 Evo hit the hardest with a 20 kg increase in minimum weight.
The non-Evo version of the Vantage GT4 remains unchanged.
