We have many old races on our KZbin channel. We will be adding more old races soon!

Amazing. Hobbs is such a pro. We are very lucky to have him. Cheers David.

Hobbs was a great racer and an even better announcer. Brings a lot of knowledge, class and humor to everything he does. Love him!

[@lenl270]

Fortunate to meet David a few years ago at Sebring. Got a poster and an autograph. What a genuinely nice man. Really miss his commentary at F1. A true racers racer!

So great to see David again. I used to love hearing him and Steve Matchett calling F1 races. KERBLAMMO!!!! 🤣

[@KenMac-ui2vb]

David Hobbs here, for Carling Black Label beer.... Legend.

[@ATEC101]

Apparently as a fussy baby, my parents had to use the Can-Am cars as a lullaby in Thunder Valley.

[@01FozzyS]

David is a legend on and off the track! Doonan brought the Zoom-Zoom to Mazda!

[@bobbydee2592]

Saw him at Kyalami in late 70s with same BMW. Those cars where awesome

[@DanielTorregiani]

Legend!!

[@rahkinrah1963]

[@ianbarber311]

Anything with Mr. David Hobbs is fine with me. Loved him and Bob Varsha commenting on F1.

[@rockydesign3303]

I was there in the same area, Turn 5, at that race.

[@yellowduck8061]

[@trance9158]

Back when BMW made some badass cars.

[@Diamondbackf1]

Hobbo!!!!!!!!!!!

[@boodew-dp5jn]

Love David...Black Label time.🍺

[@nolimits7283]

Will Road America host a 24hr imsa race?

[@nickporter574]

That would be sweet af.

[@trance9158]

If you didn't drive a Porsche in those days the odds were against you at winning the race.

[@herbodiferous7751]

Then came Audi, and Hans Stuck!

[@trance9158]

@@herbodiferous7751 funny since Hans raced Porsche more successfully... And Porsche still rules endurance racing.

[@BillVerstege]

@herbodiferous7751 That was in 1988 in the Trans Am series, and was incredible how dominant those cars were. I've been a believer of all wheel drive on dry pavement ever since.

[@timd4524]

Ah the McLaren/BMW. Classic.
