I was there with my dad, he's 81 and he loved every second of it! I wish it was more than once a year!

[@drewgalbraith4499]

Take him to SRO GT weekend next year as well as this, their both great GT weekends to see

[@metalgt6828]

Take him to VIR on Oct. 6-9! Historical racing cars from his era, and TA2 cars will be there! I'd say more but it looks like IMSA is deleting my comment when I give more info..... 🙄

I have never understood why sports car racing has not taken off the way that NASCAR, Indy Car, and Formula 1 have. In my opinion it is the most exciting racing from the fan’s perspective.

[@joshpauley289]

I would say because the drivers aren’t the highest level (they’re great don’t get me wrong, but Indy, nascar, and f1 are the worlds premier still). Jordan did his first nascar race this year and got his doors blown off, and Jeff Gordon dominated his first and only imsa race back in ‘17. The cars handle way too good, 3rd place was 19 seconds back, Jordan wins 99% of the races. Nascar is less accessible to “average fans”, but the raving product is more pure. All the cars are exactly the same equipment. But I like imsa, it’s still good!

[@leehrvyoswld]

They don't promote it.

[@trwent]

@@joshpauley289 NO way one driver wins 99% of the races, that is absurd.

[@spyglass71]

@@trwent yeah he’s won just under 25% of his races, podiumed in just over 57% and has three overall championships. Not 99% but definitely still very good.

[@trwent]

@@spyglass71 That sounds more reasonable, and it is still outstanding. Unfortunately, there are a lot of math ignoramuses that do not seem to understand what 99% means.

[@fredericauger8573]

I was so stressed for the #27 team. Martin stint was incredible to fuel save and reach the end. The Aston was losing so much time to the #57 I was like OMG this is so tight.

[@Villoresi]

Not to say that they were "bad" races, but it feels like the GT rounds are now missing something, and just not quite the same, since it's all FIA GT3 cars now. And VIR especially feels a tad "empty" with less than 20 cars on the grid. Even before this, I've very much felt VIR is a good and long enough track to deserve the full IMSA field.

[@andiari86]

Dtm and GT world challenge is for you then

[@SmugRoom38]

Oh hey, the race I couldn’t watch because nascar wanted to watch rain!

[@imsaofficial]

The race aired in its entirety on CNBC as advertised.

Ah yes, we ended up with a simulcast once the NASCAR race ended. Great exposure for what was an amazing race!

[@robertlindsay6622]

There is half an hour left in the race and we're riding around on a car that has nobody around it and we're missing some of the key passing of the race. Just saying let's look at the interval timing and that's the big indicator as to where you should be pointing the cameras it would be just nice to see some of the nice passing the key passing in the race thank you for understanding imsa is awesome keep up the good work and thank you to all the volunteers on and off the track.

Hope I'm not the only one that would love to see these cars all line up and do a one mile drag... it'd be so damn close we'd have to see them run a two mile drag just to clear up a few things. Even then, I bet it'd be a nail biter.

One of my team mates didn't like VIR, and I absolutely don't understand it. The LEAST interesting corner on the entire track is Big Bend, and the amount of incidents and overtakes we see every time cars take to this track. If there was a "best of" for race tracks, VIR is absolutely up there.

Kind of bummed you guys didn't show the 27 car struggling to get to the end at the end. Did he get second, did he run out of fuel. That was the race guys

The results show that he got to the finish in second. He ran out of fuel but I don't know if it was before or after he crossed the line.

then why are you commenting?

[@imsaofficial]

Thanks for dropping by and offering up a comment. The battles throughout the race were exceptional so disappointed that you didn't enjoy it.

[@EikeSky]

Please, when you can fit 8 bikes across the road, where's the strategy? You can't block, so of course it's "exciting", there's basically no strategy to play. Here, we earn our overtakes.

[@adamb3129]

Lmao MotoGP has terrible racing for a motorcycle series

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@EikeSky I'm curious - how many overtakes were there compared to other IMSA races? The first 45 minutes were like one long formation lap. Nobody was passing, nobody was lapping, nobody was racing. With all cars being equal, these GTD-only events just aren't like multi-class racing. Everyone had horrible qualifying tires, and everybody was fuel-saving. One class, one strategy: drive slowly until the first pit stop. Then maybe we race.
