the absence of engine build, mapping, and performance criteria for the IMSA 2.0 MZR
engine, the CRB is unable to ensure that the specifications that have allowed it to run
without a restrictor in P1 remain unchanged. Consistent with the removal of the sealed
2.3 liter option after the 2017 season, the sealed 2.0 liter option will be removed from
Spec Line F at the end of the 2019 season. As with the 2.3 liter engine, competitors may
continue to run the 2.0 MZR engine in the P1 class subject to the requirements of Spec
Line G.
