Laguna Seca tomorrow.
I think the full race airs tomorrow on FS1. If you don't get that channel, I'll try to remember to post a stream link tomorrow.
Starts at 1:00 Eastern.
-
Both were pretty good races. I think maybe they've finally found a good performance balance between DPs and P2s.
-
I dvr'd the race at 1:00, but it looks like it's only the PC and GTD cars, did they air the P2/DP and GTLM cars during the same time slot just later in the program? I only had enough time to watch the first few laps of the PC race.
-
The second race was on the same channel but at 5:30 eastern. The P and GTLM race in my opinion was the better of the two races. It was great to see P2s and DPs really fighting for positions. Does any one know the final ruling on the last lap pass for second place between the Porsche and BMW?

Somewhat surprisingly (at least to me), this happened.... http://sportscar365.com/imsa/tusc/monterey-gtlm-podium-adjusted-post-race/ (http://sportscar365.com/imsa/tusc/monterey-gtlm-podium-adjusted-post-race/)

Same here, I did not expect that.

Darn it, I saw the second broadcast and just thought it was a repeat. :copz:
Thanks for the info!

6 hours at Watkins Glen start at 11:00 eastern.
The whole race is being aired on FS1.
If you're interested in watching but don't get FS1, let me now and I'll find a good stream.
-
Petit Le Mans is only on mainstream TV for 2 hours? Fucking lame. :P
-
Booooo.

That blows.

They won the championship but recently lowered the price of the road car by $15,000. The old adage win on Sunday sell on Monday was not working for them. Sucks but its true the factory has made a new Viper since July. It is a really cool ride but if I had that kind of cash to spend on a car I would likely have a dozen or so cars I would be as or more interested in. They are cool out on track though.
-
Laguna Seca just got underway on FS1.
-
Detroit
http://www.imsa.com/races/detroit-belle-isle
Looks like coverage is on Fox tomorrow.
-
I'd be going if GTLM's were there. :adam:
-
Why no GTLM love at Detroit?
-
I wish I knew. I don't think they were there last year either.
One of these years I'm going to go anyways just to say I went, but with no GTLM my interest goes way down.
-
Most likely because they are on their way to Le Mans. Or already in Le Mans (today 5/31 is a test day). With the exception of the one private P2 car in IMSA, all the cars that raced in Detroit are not eligible to race at Le Mans. Which also happens to be in two weeks.
-
6 hours Watkins Glen on right now. FS1
-
Indeed. Plus check out the IMSA App. Live streaming plus IMSA radio. Good stuff.
-
Event update: Petit Le Mans this weekend and Road Atlanta. Viewable on Fox Sports 2 and the IMSA App.
Also starting 2017 the prototype class will use a modified set of the new P2 regulations and the class will be called Daytona Prototype international or DPi.
-
Shit, I'm going to need more TV's for tomorrow. Football, Petit LeMans, more football, UFC, more football.

Roar Before the 24 is this weekend!

Damn already? I love racing and I watch it every weekend but as I've gotten older, the off season is quite nice. And it's almost over already!

Although I'm all ways ready for racing, I have to agree with you. The fact that F1 and Nascar now both run through November leaves very little down time with Dakar and Daytona happening in January/February.
Still, I look forward to seeing what the Mazda's can do now that they've got a more powerful engine.
-
I'm kind of digging this new r8 for some reason. Looks mean.

Daytona 24 is coming up fast. Below is a link to the tv schedule, lets hope IMSA.com or the app have good coverage.

Also a pretty good article about the challenge of the new prototype rules for 2017.

Good reminder.
I have and use the IMSA app and it is freaking awesome. Plus it's free!
-
Ok so this is pretty awesome...

I posted this in the wrong thread yesterday.

And there off!
-
PC class fucking sucks and needs to go away. PC should stand for Pure Crap.
-
Less than two hours to go!
Also, I was unaware of PC crapness until you mentioned it here Wiz. Then while listing to IMSA radio doing a driver interview. Somehow the question led the driver to comment. "If you want to watch the race do it in PC."
-
Honda HPD Ligiier P2 vs Corvette DP
-
I just don't understand why they don't do something about it. They put amateur drivers in cars that weigh nothing, with no traction control. Spins galore.
Also, I highly recommend watching the RLM stream instead of the Fox coverage. The stream is HD, with better commentary, and zero commercials.

I like the gents at http://www.0157.org/radiolemans2/ nice podcasts too, but I'm using http://www.imsa.com/camera/imsatv.
Also, yes FUCK Fox crappy coverage. I've got an PC showing video feed from http://www.imsa.com/camera/imsatv with Klipasch speakers blaring and ipad with IMSA app also showing race.

I can not afford Patron, but I will say TEQUILA! (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
Go Tequila people racers! I say this only because my name is not Taylor and I was not lucky enough to be a part of that family. Not that there is anything wrong with my family, just that it is way more boring and has zero racing involved in it.
-
Less then an hour to go. Ogogogo! Honda is looking very good at this time.
-
20 minutes..............TEQUILA!

Incredible race.

So I was drinking and virtual driving when the Delta had its fatal run in. They said it hit a parked car on the racing line. If that's so, that really blows. The Delta was rocking this year. 1'38.xxx practice 4 lap time. Wow!

Yeah... local yellows coming off the straight in a blind corner a car is stalled. A lot of cars nearly hit it and the DW was just coming too quick and barreled into the back of it. I hate full course yellows especially for stalled cars but that was not a good situation.
How hard is it to put a full blown starter on frickin race cars!? I'm looking at you IndyCar.

I didn't realize the Delta wing was still being used, so I was surprised to see. The woman that was in it for the short time I watched, was driving the shit out of it.

I would think the PC cars have full blown starters. But I could be wrong given IMSA does not force teams to shut the car off while fueling like they did in the ALMS.
Still it looked to me like the officials took way to long to call a caution for this incident. I'm all for trying to keep it green but turn 1 is in my opinion too dangerous to play that game.
also kudos to Chevy for letting their drivers race each other. It made for good TV.

Yes, yes and more yes.
Also, 736 laps completed. That's 2,804 miles. Holy shit!

Katherine Legge is a beast.

I found video of the crash. Legge was not at the wheel at the time.

Looks like they heard you.

Quick reminder this weekend is the 6 hours at the Glen. I think FS1 will broadcast the entire race. It starts 10:00am Eastern time July 3st. A great way to spend the day before the 4rd.
-
Don't forget the IMSA app.

Right but the video is subject to region black outs. Which has happened to me at every race but Daytona. :( At least if you miss it you can watch the entire race in replay on the app.
-
That was pretty good. I split for some dancing and came back just in time for the final few laps.
My app was also video blocking the race feed, but did allow in car. Stooped fox.
Also, no chrome cast support is sad.
Other than that, go GTLM Ford GT.

Went to the IMSA race this weekend. What a fucking finish! As a Vette fan I was a happy camper.
Didn't take a ton of race pics, since it was my first I wanted to enjoy it thru my own eyes, not my camera lens. The wife got a few nice videos which I'll probably upload to Youtube at some point.
Here's a few....

Otherwise, there was some pretty good racing for the short periods that I got to watch it.

Hopefully this works, first time using Google Photos.... here's my entire album of pics/vids.... https://goo.gl/photos/SwRg9JvNHJHT6AEN9
Some of them are videos, look for the little triangle shaped play button in the upper right corner.

Link works fine Wiz, great shots.
