What are the penalties for engine changes in IMSA? Start at the back of the entire field, back of the Prototype, or no penalty?

I know it's very late to the start of the season but here's a pool I made up quick for the season. I'll take entries up until the drop of the green flag tomorrow.
Points are accumulated according to the IMSA point system for the series.

So, since the PC class is no more, what would be a viable option for a drinking game? 
Or is this the break year where everyone's liver is allowed to recover from previous seasons?

Hmm, there's the Le Mans staple of Ferrari-based crashes aka Ferrari's gone wild. Or we could count Acura's losing their hoods. Or BOP mentions, although that one could get sketchy.So, since the PC class is no more, what would be a viable option for a drinking game?

A sip for every time a car pits
A gulp for every time a car has unscheduled pit (a sip every 5 minutes car is in pits)
Finish your drink if a car crashes/goes off/caution/yellow flag

I'll miss the PC shenanigans, but I like this grid a lot more.
I’ve seen in this thread that IMSA.tv is the place to watch, but that website seems like an early Web 2.0 site, the app has some racing but audio only?
I’m from the U.K. and have only watched this race via replays on YouTube, will IMSA.tv actually update when the race starts (which I think is 8pm uk time)?

Have a great time!! Get some free t-shirts and Conti hat. 👍On my way up to Daytona
Kind of sounds like IMSA radio with audio only.
IMSA.com will likely have on-board cameras, not sure if that includes outside the USA.
Otherwise, like me, it's the FOX Sports GO app.
You can try his too!

Then die before the end of the race (of alcohol poisoning).

If you're outside the US, there's the stream on IMSA's website
https://imsatv.imsa.com/
It's live with Ferrari Challenge right now. Refresh the page closer to race time, and it should be there for you.

I am so pumped for this race and the start of the season! The addition of Penske to the prototype field is impressive, as is its growth in numbers. The times look close, and I think the competition will be great.
GTLM always offers good racing, but I'm not sure why BMW keeps changing things. They ran the M6 for what, 2 years, and now that it's sorted they switch to the M8. Marketing I suppose. Once they get up to speed I'm sure they will do fine but this race will likely be a grand test session due to new-car bugs.
NO PC! That right there made my year.
GTD is looking good, too. I love that they went to a (basically) GT3 spec a few years back - it's led to good variety and close racing. That was a great decision. I would love to see a Corvette C7 GT3 but can't have everything. Magnus returning is awesome though.
My picks/rooting will be for:
Prototype: #10 Wayne Taylor Racing, #99 Red Dragon (sentimental favorite)
GTLM: #3/4 Corvette 1st, #911/912 Porsche 2nd
GTD: #58 Wright Motorsports/ #44 Magnus Racing/ #96 Turner Motorsport
It's gonna be fun!

Has anyone found a high res version of the big field layout in pit lane? I'd love that for my phone like last year.
