Hats off IMSA! this is exactly what we want as fans!!

[@tbz1551]

Not only for current IMSA fans but also Motorsport fans who are new to IMSA. This is perfect for those of us who rarely check out what’s happening with racing in US. I’m definitely inclined to follow more closely now.

[@lamarsidoner3250]

bad move, will lose many fans,,,bye bye

@@tbz1551 same here. Coming from F1 I've grown interest for american racing following Grosjean arriving in Indycar. And with so much going on in the US, I'm now willing to enjoy IMSA as well as other series !

@@boloball78 me too. IMSA's WIN THE WEEKEND series alone is miles above F1 DRIVE TO SURVIVE although slightly behind Nijigasaki anime Season 2.

[@stijnpaspont]

As a european this is a great opportunity to get into IMSA stuff more. I already follow WEC and plan on following all the imsa races as well

[@treennumbers]

Fun fact, IMSA drivers who go racing in Europe are often penalized because they forget that burnouts aren't allowed. In IMSA burnouts are required.

[@Tyranastrasza]

@@treennumbers It will be interesting to see how the drivers who participate in both IMSA and WEC handles the different regulations, especially at Sebring where the races are back to back on the same weekend.

[@cco53587]

I've been watching IMSA for a long time and the coming LMDh/LMH and GT3 entries over the next two years are really going to get me to pay attention to WEC far more now. I'm glad both series are working together more.

[@reederwilliamson1532]

WE LOVE SEEING THIS!! We truly are entering a golden era. As a young fan, I’m so excited. Props to IMSA for making this series. John Doonan is the GOAT!!!

This series is exactly what I waiting for since watching WEC Full Access. Great job!

[@hamtairo]

I like they actually censored sensitive area as requested by the teams which I think its good call, else team may not allow any outside camera if everything was shown out open especially even before the start of the season.

Is this a series we can come to expect for the whole season? Or is this just in the leadup to the Rolex?👀

[@yommish]

Really happy to get some IMSA documentary content. Show us everything! Video felt a little bit lacking structure at the beginning though. It’s easy to miss who the 3 guys around the table are, and where they are, other than a random table in NYC. Going from Daytona to that was a little distracting. Also please show the transition from electric power to combustion as many times as you want, it sounds awesome.
