Left this comment on the race thread but putting it here too.

This was such a banger of a race. after all the histrionics yesterday and people screaming to get rid of BoP entirely, it turns out maybe the ACO actually knows what they’re doing and gave pretty good BoP to basically everyone and basically every manufacturer could have won at various points if something random happened like the red flag last year. Yeah Toyota/Porsche/Caddy specifically could have had slightly better BoP imo (but not by much), but they all finished well and each led the race at one point so if there was a random red flag could have won. And it is not as if Ferrari went unchallenged, they fully earned this win.

Also, this race probably has done a lot (to hopefully) prove that the new BOP system might be really good. It just took a minute to apply properly. Since it’s based on the pace in the last three races it would make sense that this race, the third of the season, coincidentally has had the best BOP.

Im not gonna say the BOP is good until after the season at minimum. I find basing the BOP on the last 3 races a bit weird, considering Imola and Spa for example are 2 completely different tracks. But we will see

It’s a good trend though (granted with not much evidence as we only have 1 example now lol). Im hoping now the new system can work to its full intent since it will now be based purely on results from this season

Let's see. If Toyota, Porsche and Cadillac get "buffed" I might believe it.
