How Acura’s GTP wheel loss fix keeps IMSA title dream alive
Acura’s ARX-06, which was built to the new LMDh rules for 2023 and featured an electrical hybrid system, had a strong start by finishing 1-2 in the Daytona 24 Hours. However, it later experienced mechanical issues that caused the cars to lose their left-rear wheels in subsequent races at Sebring and Watkins Glen. The Meyer Shank Racing car retired immediately due to this problem, while the Wayne Taylor Racing car had a similar failure but managed to rejoin the race before suffering a brake failure. Acura has focused on solving the issue, with the team’s chief believing that they have fixed the problem. Despite these challenges, the WTR drivers are only three points away from the championship lead, and Acura is currently third in the constructors’ standings.
