Aston Martin impacted by new BoP after qualifying
Officials closely analyzed the pole position achieved by Marco Sorensen aboard his Aston Martin Vantage in GTE Pro Thursday June 13 in the evening. In order to slightly lower its performance, the British car is most influenced by a new Balance of Performance (BoP), published Friday June 14 late in the afternoon by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).
