yes, all IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship and IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge races will be live streamed once again in 2016. Some of the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA races as well

USA/Canada has a chance of getting geo-blocked for some races though I think (shocked they didn't this weekend, considering they are trying to boost TV ratings here)

Taped most of the race and watched in fast forward. The last couple of hours though as the strategies played out, and the last 45 minutes especially, was some really excellent racing.

P2 wins overall and the Vette's go 1-2. All is not lost for North American Sports Car racing.

Cannot deny that I really enjoyed that race - great racing, cautions weren't the half hour fuckups they once were, awesome finish too. The IMSA stream was faultless and it was great that it wasn't geoblocked, though whether that'll always be the case I very much doubt.

Great stuff and managed to stay awake for the full 24 hours which is a feat in itself as my years advance. On to Bathurst next week! :mrgreen:

fuckin a that was a great race.

stayed up 21 of 24 hours, managed to make it up to the stands for sunrise.

Also, we were sitting in the stands just after the kink when the 60 blew up and it turned into a skating rink. That shit was scary.

Angelelli's been cleared and released from hospital. Definitely not nice inhaling fumes like that.

Got a high res version of that shot? Would make a great background.

On Android that app was unresponsive piece of crap when I tested it last weekend. Just pathetically bad.

Man, I feel unwell just thinking of that.

the best part of the rapport:

Quote:

– History of M.Angelelli at Daytona specifically has showed that he leaves 100% on the racetrack and usually finishes the Daytona event in need of some level of medical assistance (without car issues). The pace and communication seems aligned with a normal race finish from M.Angelelli given all the information he had.

like WTR felt they had to blame it on him
