Talk:2018 24 Hours of Daytona/Archive 1

Yes, but why?
Seems we are inserting information which isn't really relevant unless we explain it to readers. To illustrate I have broken down just one paragraph here (in green) with comments.

The week before the official three-day test session at the circuit, IMSA altered the balance of performance in all three categories.
 * What does that mean? If it means it amended specs to create equal playing fields in class/es, then we should explain that.

All classes had their maximum revolutions per minute (rpm) defined by IMSA.
 * OK, but to what? Higher than last year? Lower? Different for various classes/engines?

10 kg (22 lb) of weight was added to the Cadillac DPi-V.Rs compared to 2017 with its air restrictor increased by 1.8 mm (0.071 in).
 * Why?

The duo of Nissan Onroak DPis and the two Acura ARX-05s had their weight increased to 940 kg (2,070 lb), 10 kg (22 lb) more than the global-specification LMP2 chassis and the pair of Mazda RT24-Ps.
 * There has to be a reason for that. Why?

The Nissan and Mazda engines were not altered
 * Suggesting that others were. And why?

but IMSA changed the aerodynamic packages on some Prototypes.
 * Why? And why only some prototypes had changes?

The debuting BMW M8 GTE's weight was established at 1,250 kg (2,760 lb) and its turbocharger boost curve was revised over its predecessor.
 * As it was on debut, what was its predecessor? Was its weight established higher or lower than others in class? Or the same?

The Mercedes-AMG GTD car had its air restrictor enlarged by 1 mm (0.039 in).
 * Why, and why such a minimal amount?

It seems to me we are adding stuff just because we can, padding really, without explaining the significance/relevance of it. It it is too difficult to explain each point in the paragraph, maybe it shouldn't exist at all. Also, there is a single ref at the end of the paragraph. Don't know whether or not it supports the whole paragraph, because it's in German.Moriori (talk) 01:13, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
