IMSA really has the best racing commentators. Such a cracking great team!!!

[@mobucks555]

I watched a few races today because I'm going to the 12 hours of Sebring on the 20th. You're right, these commentators are probably the best in the business.

[@kennykrobs6935]

Always best to wait for the best commentary crew in the business + commercial free! Thanks IMSA🏁

[@jonathancouch6261]

I watch imsa and other sportscar racing on youtube+commercial free and no freaking nascar crap

[@BlitzMekanika]

My first in person race. After growing up watching ALMS, and then watching IMSA here on youtube, decided to attend. The sights and sounds were fantastic, defiantly coming back next year. Also the video footage of the race diminishes the speed of the cars, and how loud they are. Was blown away at the speeds all the cars were going on the back straight. Seeing cars go by at 300 (km/h) is in a word. Wow. Putting that in perspective the Mazda’s fastest lap was a 1:06. The Audi R10 TDI from back in the day set the lap record of 1:04. And a Porsche 917/30 with over 1000 hp set a lap time of 1:14 in the 60’s. Now that’s progress. Now there’s Indy Toronto this weekend.🙂

[@dantop1280]

.............and on the 8th day 'they' created IMSA TV!! Outstanding coverage once again and thanks to all ! Keep it comin'...

[@shawnjdm7064]

I was there 4th year in a row. Always look forward to the race every year. I have now found my racing series to follow. Great day, great race at a legend of a track. I just wish it was longer, 6 hours of Canada would be superb.

[@quincygaming9529]

Very underrated

[@diavolorosso69]

For sure- when I was their in 2015 I was lucky enough to stike up a convo w/ a couple of drivers who said they love it 'cause it's an "old school" track w/ all the fast corners, elevation changes, etc. so much better than most modern BS cookie cutter tracks

[@mattcook8590]

I was just talking to someone about that. It's hard for me to believe that the current NASCAR product is bringing in more ratings than IMSA but I digress.

The finish of this race was the feel-good story of this season. But that wreck... when you can't even see the car, that's scary. I have never seen such a wreck made of a tire barrier. He looked like he might have had a broken hand or forearm, but all I know is what's in the video. I sure hope it's all minor. (Trying to avoid spoilers.) I feel sick to think of people getting seriously injured or worse for my entertainment. I appreciate them not showing the actual extrication live. He deserves his dignity. (Race broadcasters in the 70s didn't use that discretion.) Get well soon! And thank you track workers and emergency staff for doing such an awesome job with that situation! I don't know how they got to him so quickly. (If it had been in Le Mans, I think the tire barrier repair would have taken an hour :-P )

[@ChrisClark31415]

IMSA Official Ah, ok. Got it. Thanks a bunch!

[@Adwitt2001]

So why did they stop the race clock here, and not at the Daytona 24HR earlier in the season?

[@tgm9991]

'Cos this was only a 2 hour 40mins race and pausing the clock on 24hr races is unfair for all those working the event and have barely slept in 36+ hours, yes they get stood down every few hours for a bit depending on their role and manning but they don't really get any sleep and they really don't deserve to be kept there for hours extra.

[@oskarr3018]

Reverse Rev LEDs on the Mazda ?

[@nikomoin7604]

Why are the vettes so slow? That’s some horrible bop

[@guysullavin]

They were doing alright at Watkins Glen. I just think they aren't well suited for this track, or the drivers weren't super comfortable on the track.

[@Sting79]

@@guysullavin The Vettes had power reduced. The drivers are highly experienced and have no trouble adapting to any track.

Something is definitely wrong with the gtlm BOP when the same manufacturer has won 5 in a row at completely different tracks when the class is normally so competitive

[@beenaplumber8379]

Last season I was glued to GTLM. I think the Fords and Corvettes might have been hit kinda hard this year, or maybe it's just Porsche not being restricted enough.

The 54 looked extremely fast in straight line.

[@Dethmeister]

1:24:39 How come they do big burnouts in American sports car racing but not overseas? It can't be bad for the cars and tires otherwise they wouldn't do it. When these teams compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans do they still do burnouts?

@IMSA great coverage as always. Will the Michelin Pilot challenge races her snd the Glen soon?

[@richardbarthelme6323]

... are we going to see in the following year Cadillac Racing changing to the Blackwing twin-turbo

[@QuattroZack1]

R. Ben Barthelme theautojunkie interesting thought. With everybody moving towards forced induction nowadays. Would be a hell of a power plant. Also would bring back the whole “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” from back in the day.

No, I don't expect any changes until DPi 2.0 in 2022.

who will drive the 7 car next year?

[@donngreg2541]

#57 MSR ... looked like Bia was a little quicker than Kat in spite of the car being set up for Kat. Only her 3rd time racing these cars ? She did a good job qualifying the car on a track she'd never driven. I'd like to see how she'd do as the primary driver. At the Glen Bia smoked the #86's 2nd driver.... Love the teaming of these two.

[@Ewane]

donn GREG the car would be set up as a compromise between the 2, but leaning towards Bia since she is the AM.

Bomarito is The BOMB.

[@FRS_Heero]

Can someone explain why there are only 2 lmp2's?

[@Maenfy]

Because they get beaten by the DPIs anyway and there are other racing series out there were they can actually fight for an overall win.

[@Ewane]

Sadly, the class saw a lack of interest this year. A couple of unfortunate (for LMP2) circumstances saw a likely 5 car class decrease to 2 cars.

[@FRS_Heero]

@@Ewane ah

[@Maenfy]

@@Ewane Do you know if they will continue the LMP2 class next year?

@@Maenfy yes, their calendar is Sebring, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, Road America, Laguna Seca and PLM, but the class will also be eligible at Daytona but not for points.

[@Diamondbackf1]

Burnout Competition FTW!!!!!!

[@WanderingSword]

somebody explains to me how can a 2L turbo Mazda go so much faster than all the other cars with much bigger engines? Is it because of aero and weight?

[@supersevenn]

on the Juncos accident, it might help if the first row of tires was ten feet out from the rest of the tires up against the wall. The first row impact slows down and take the energy way down and then the rest of the tires stop the car. I've seen that set up at other tracks and it seems to work better. Glad the driver was ok buy Juncos lost the car completely #imsa #ronfellows #mosport #canadiantiremotorsportspark

I have been a racing spectator for over 50 years. I love motor racing. I the whine of the high rpm motors the gear changes into and out of the corners is part and parcel to the over all experience. But it has been ruined by the constant babbel of the needless narrators. You have killed the audio so we are now watching a silent race with invasive, and needless talking. It has become radio with pictures. There is no excitement at all and for the narrators to try to add the excitement with their idiotic commentary is very boring and distractive. I will watch no more if when it starts I hear no engines replaced by rediculou,, useless babbel!!!!!

When will the fans wake up and protest the use of hybrid electric cars. If one of those cars crashes and the acid from the battery system leaks 1/4 of a fluid cup into the soil it will contaminate 3 square miles of ground water with a Major carcinogen. That is why Toyota was not allowed to build the Prius in Japan and had to ship their program to Canada with some $$$$$ added in. The Japanese Gov. halted their production for fear of contamination of their countries fresh water. Now these cars travel the road of North America by way of cash to get them approved for city streets. Scientist are say these car could well be the next Ecological Disaster waiting to happen. The TV Show TOP GEAR covered this about 4 years ago for about a week and it peaked my interest and I investigated these facts. Then out of the blue TOP GEAR stopped its attack and suddenly there were Toyota commercials and there was never another word until a Jeremy Clarkson interview where he hinted about the pay off.

[@Ewane]

Joel Rudzinski the alternative is killing the planet by using fossil fuels. Also, hybrid is only a bridging step towards zero emissions and hydrogen.

You realize there are no hybrids in this race, right? Go complain on a WEC video.
