[@mirk042]

Every racing series offers better motorsport than F1. Even a small local kart race. F1 has become a lame and unwatchable s*itshow. On the other hand, WEC has become really great in the last years and this race was one of the best ever. I only missed 30 mins in total. The only race ever i watched more of were on several occasions the 24h on the Nürburgring.

[@alejandrobarba123]

@@mirk042 mate stfu, F1 is the world's leading exponent of racing car technology and development. Do you think they care about some random ignorant saying that a wec or karting race is better? Well if it is, try bringing that karting or wec team into competition to make it funnier and also then, promote your brand. Right, their resources can't afford it because they are brokie companies.

[@flexinclouds]

​@@mirk042Yep, F1 has become more reality TV focused on drama & controversy, instead of true racing. And only has a handful of teams & drivers, with quick sprint races. But WEC has less celebrity driver fanfare.. and has the spirit of raw, old school Le mans or F1 racing. With tons of cars, 3 classes, & full-length aggressive racing.🤘

[@brandoncheatham5510]

So as a lover of racing in all facets of racing, the action level is quite intense towards the middle of the field. I’ve seen Porsche Cup drivers get closer but this is another level. But to have three classes on the track at once, is mind blowing! Imagine F1 with F2 and F3 on track at the same time? Oh that would be so bad. Love this sport. ❤

[@Orvieta]

Only 2 classes though, there will be 3 for the 24LM where LMP2 will be as well, but here it was just Hypercar and GT3 which is good enough anyhow.

[@brandoncheatham5510]

@@Orvieta appreciate the correction! But yeah it’s wild to have two different classes of cars on track.

[@Orvieta]

@@brandoncheatham5510 Well if you think that's wild, check out the Nordschleife 24, where GT3 will the top class, but at least 6-8 different classes will be there as well. I'm sure you'll like it.

[@williamford9564]

1:01:45: That turned out to be the case. The Cadillac started on the tires they ran in Hyperpole qualifying, which had three hard fast laps on them. Most other teams started on fresh tires and Cadillac's strategy was to hold a fresh set for later in the race. We did see that in the second half of the race, the car started moving back up in the field.

Why was this broadcast delayed for a whole week, when I watched the Imola race right afterwards? I'm genuinely curious. I'm not upset at all. On the contrary; I'm thankful to be able to watch these races bc I don't have access to them besides you tube.

[@TimTricks-zw9tb]

Having tried to upload an hour long video to U-tube I suspect that FIAWEC are having the problems I had: Unauthorised sccess from new address (Spa not Imola) or you require further verification to upload a video longer than 15 mins. - I gave up! Luckily WEC don't look like they have. These vids are great especially if you went to the event & actually want to see what happened out of your sight. Thanks WEC - I just wish all of the FIA did the same.

[@jeremyhansen8186]

@TimTricks-zw9tb Thank you for the reply. Indeed, it is great to watch a race you were actually at. I've done it, and I will say, obviously going to the race is a visceral, tangible experience. However, you definitely don't get the big picture afforded by tv coverage and the excellent commentary provided by the WEC. My preference is actually to watch on tv bc of the commentary and overall big picture view afforded by tv. That said, there's something special about the smell, the sound, and the general theater of a track side event.

[@motow3031]

I just wanna let my commet in this section before the Ferrari "Fans" start trolling. I was there in Spa and the Restart was the best decision that the Stewards could make. It wasn't unfair that the Ferraris need to Stopp twice in the last 1¾ of the Race and the Porsche's only once because the Porsches came in before the red flag was shown. They've just had god damn luck. And just stop to hate the other manufacturer's or drivers for their win. If youre a real fan of the WEC you grant everyone the Victcory. And if you don't you or you're favourite team doesnt deserve a win or a championship.
