How to beat JCW Team

Streamed the Canadian Tire Continental race Saturday. It appears that the only way you can now beat the MINIs is to run into them (officially-make contact). Sometimes straight off of the track. Even the announcers speculated that the Porsche team (with Foss behind the wheel) would get a penalty after jumping the curb in the corner. Didn't happen and he was quoted "you take the win anyway you can." Is IMSA playing games with the upstart MINI team?

It was hard racing, but I agree about the contact. MINI owned the race all afternoon,
