41:18 "If you're going hard enough left, you'll find yourself turning right." Really living up to it's legacy, that 95.

[@ATSF874]

easily my favorite

[@Goknights1208]

Stage 1 of the WRC beat this for me by about 1 hour

[@geargei80]

No, this is one HIGHLIGHT of the season :D

[@KA._.144]

Supercross started on the 6th and is on round 4 tommorow

[@JTeam45]

Caught this baby live but I just had to come in and say happy start to racing season, everybody! Thanks, IMSA!

[@TCCcompetition]

And to you man. Bring on 24'

[@carsland123]

This series is genuinely one of the best racing series of all time, this is incrediblle stuff

[@gtertgvsdfv4904]

much much better than F1!!

[@the_dredd_ship_nAtAs]

Such a tremendous race! This has been my favorite racing series for the last few years. Glad to see Whelen jump on board and I look forward to another exciting season. My hat's off to EVERYONE involved.

[@hcopen6051]

Racing every lap like it's the last lap! MX-5 is easily one of my favorite series in racing. Outsanding start to 2024!

[@stephenullman4534]

Never watched this before. I'll never miss it again. This was INCREDIBLE racing. Well done! Some of the most exciting racing I've seen.

[@davidsutarik1223]

I was a little confused when IMSA adopted the Mazda MX-5 Cup series a few years ago but now I know why. This series is by far the most exciting and competitive racing that I’ve seen anywhere in the world. Kudos to Imsa. What a brilliant marketing move. Respect to all of the drivers involved in this race . You proved that a group of cars can race bumper to bumper and not take each other out by making stupid,aggressive moves . I hope that every race is just like this one. IMSA and the MX-5 series rock !

[@JonathanEzor]

The best single-make series in all of racing is back! Thank you to Whelan for stepping up as name sponsor!

[@alfredwayne8166]

Mx5s at Daytona is marked on my calendar every year. As others have said, some of the best racing out there, in any series. So happy to have radio le mans back this year too.

[@ackgamer7126]

41:20 legendary moment before it happen in Los Angeles international speedway for real ⚡️⚡️

[@LandontheHedgehog]

"McQueen saves it! He's back on the track!"

[@Rerags_]

IMSA and MX5-Cup are goated af

[@タク-i1d]

5:09~ＳＴＡＲＴ🟢

[@wyland_6247]

Genuinely glad KZbin showed me this, looking forward to watching this season

[@Dominion69420]

This race was absolutely phenomenal to watch live! IMSA at Daytona never fails to entertain

[@RyanAlba]

This is THE most entertaining racing series globally...fight me

[@chrisburdick2614]

IMSA is the best racing out there right now! Go IMSA!!!!!

[@gsmzd64]

41:18 *”I'll put it simple: if you're goin' hard enough left, you'll find yourself turnin' right.”*

[@bvd6252]

Omg we finally have 1080p Thank you

[@kimjongyummy3562]

Literally one of the best races I ever saw, having like 5 to 7 lead changes on so many laps was awesome! Edge of my seat the whole race

[@mikestafford2792]

Always look forward to this first race of a new season. Especially commentators John and Shay. The best.

[@clayfoster9303]

MX5 Cup at Daytona never fails to get my heart pumping

[@slipstreamautosport]

Half a second covers the top 10 crazy🤯

[@SoftendoCMK]

One of the best racing i've seen in a good while.

[@RLB2779]

You need to put cameras in the car like NASCAR 😊👍

[@ryanakahoward5246]

thank you IMSA for having this race up so soon after. :)

[@DreadlordofArch]

YES YES YES🎉🎉🎉 HERE WE GO FOR 2024!! I watched all of last season....and I'm here for this one❤

[@RoadsterKaren]

Best way to kickoff the season!! Love MX5 Global Cup. Pure competition.

[@superninja252]

Great Racing by all drivers, straight driving almost a hour in drafting nonstop is something that even the most experienced NASCAR drivers cant manage to do that easy, and that without the road course part included

[@iRacer77]

they're going like 80 MPH slower lol

[@johncarl5505]

You can't be serious, dude. The speed difference is enough to tell you why it's easier to draft with Miatas.

[@superninja252]

@johncarl5505 I am sure the speed is similar to truck series, and in truck series often happen crashes

[@bradyquint2751]

I didn't know the MX5 hits 180-185 in the draft ​@@superninja252

[@griffinfaulkner3514]

​@@superninja252Those trucks are still doing a solid 170+ at the superspeedways, these Miatas top out at less than 140.

[@Murked2000]

49:38 Dacosta overtakes 9 cars in one fucking corner using the inside of the curb, that's some initial D stuff. What a legend

[@Racer-X-090]

Awesome racing as always. Still my favorite car to drive in iRacing.

[@mikeschenk4730]

Woo, John & Shae are back! And 28 entries, that's awesome to see. Wagner is now at Macumby Macaleer racing? What a great finish! Not saying anything new for MX5 at Daytona.

[@noUGames]

This was some awesome racing. Loved the drafting

[@ceeinfiniti1389]

Hard to penalize someone for bodywork hanging off when the whole field has their bumpers flapping in the wind!

[@DanielNux]

Awesome start to the IMSA season! VP Challenge and MX-5 cup have been awesome, hopefully all the other classes are just as competitive!

[@neilmcdonald5142]

Man I’ve missed this series. Just awesome

[@dbzcollector9963]

All this needs is cameras inside the cars. It’s always incredible watching from the drivers pov.

[@MSX-yn9sj]

Big Wagner Fan since Day One 👌🏻 so much Talent in one Person

[@slipstreamautosport]

What a race!! 2024 is going to be epic

[@kalcine]

This racing is awesome ! What a finish

[@JackOldenburg]

It’s all about drafting love this series

[@anonymousguy999]

As always Thank you for the stream ❤

[@fmpphoto]

First time watching this series. Highly impressed with the driver's! If this was NASCAR they would have crashed at least twice coming to checkers. New fan of this series. Thanks IMSA!

[@jeff69cpl]

Thanks for the fast upload! I missed the race' livestream but now I can see the replay a couple of hours after 😃👍

[@crazylegssw]

Im 2 seconds into this video and already want to watch the entire season. Jist give it to us.

[@staceygarrison4979]

What a race. I actually gave a little squeal of glee when I saw this thumbnail on my feed

[@DQRambo]

So much racing, love it

[@ColeccionistaDeVideojuegos]

Hardly underrated series. Motorsport season is here baby!!

[@JosephDungee]

FANTASTIC Race!

[@DeeG7]

Man it really pays off to sit back on the final lap, quite conundrum for the drivers to deal with!

[@knowideer3391]

Start off racing season with the most entertaining racing series!!

[@edoward8895]

Insane finish!

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

With how much fun i have racing these in iRacing, i can only imagine how amazing it is in person, Daytona is a fun track

[@SuffyANX]

The return of the best racing series in the world

[@Robert-pl1gd]

That was some AWSOME racing. WOW Wish the big boys mixed it up like this. lol

[@leehesp140]

Wow.! What a race.!! Subscribed.!

[@connorohidy8491]

Best racing on the planet

[@TBAAvenger]

IMSA is crushing the game

[@kaiying74]

I had to come back and watch these again.

[@curtismartell7959]

Always a great race here we go!

[@EeekiE]

“The answer is always a Miata” also apparently applies to the question: What racing series should I be watching?

[@WFZ7878]

one of the most underrated race series in the world

[@asdowo111]

4:18 Kachow ⚡

[@jake-q7x2m]

The pinnacle of motorsports

[@AlexSinclair]

Love this series so much but please don't put spoilers for the race in the thumbnails!

[@warrenh8709]

Now the 2024 race season has officially started 🏁

[@KinuGrove]

This is what good racing looks like.

[@b-dogtheman4578]

Great commentary by John and Shea as always....top-notch and always provide so much insight into what is going on, who the drivers are, etc.

[@marc-andrehogue114]

Can't believe its there is no one assisting this live, MX5 cup has awesome races

[@WesllyOni]

Man, the MX-5 Cup. Wow.

[@neoanderson7]

Great start to the season!!! Those poor bumpers. They weren't designed to take so many hits.. 🙂 some intense moments!! Great Photo finish! Can't wait for race 2!

[@TheVaultIsMine]

As always, the slower the racing, the better!

[@donnierittenberry5515]

Man this is a good race ❤

[@evertonsilva3029]

É bom começar a temporada das competições de esporte a motor. Eu amo!

[@zeropoint216]

MOTORSPORTS IS BACK BABY

[@garrettrowland1068]

I was in the west horseshoe stands for this. The mx5 races are the only race that I HAD to wear ear protection. Those things are insanely loud

[@cj18911]

Yeees! The only thing that could have improved a very poor day. Love some MX5 racing

[@PleasePassTheHammer]

Forget F1 - this is the pinnacle of motorsport.

[@paolopreviati6794]

Che gara, bravissimi tutti, io tifo per il N°5 e sono super contento per il finale di gara. da cardiopalma.....

[@sethsisneros6630]

Racings back baby!

[@DextersVloguhtory]

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Bunch of Miatas just speeding through.

[@matthewhutchins1115]

Incredible race!

[@yamacrak2.0]

41:23 EL RAYO MACUIN WEEEEEY :'D Esa fue la mejor parte 🤑

[@timkis64]

the racing in this series is so good, without the demolition derby effects.

[@Haulinbassracing]

41:25 ka-chow

[@anonymouspunk9968]

I know these Mazda cars have a top speed of 125 miles per hour and 180 horsepower. A Cup car has at least 550 horsepower at a road course and a top speed of about 200 miles per hour at an oval. However, I watch NASCAR all the time. I like seeing something different every once in a while. I love the sound these Mazda cars make. I also think these cars are visually pleasing.

[@grendelum]

so what, 1000 lead changes total?

[@henroc31]

Let’s go IMSA!! 🏁🏁

[@SuperSpeederBaker]

What a great race!

[@DarthSparhawk]

That was just nuts

[@silverwolftheretrogamer9792]

Yes, racing is back, the off season went so slowly

[@DanielKulas]

Maybe IMSA will humor this request - if anyone's seen an MX-5 race in person, you know how the sound of the engines are brutally loud for a 4 banger. IMSA, can we get moments in the feed where you have the announcers pause for a moment to let us take in the raw, unfiltered sound of the race?

[@Planestrainsautostrucks]

It was a great race, to bad for those of us at the track, we had to watch the finish on the JUMBOTRON, instead of being allowed to see the race from the stands!!

[@bisbey9454]

thanks for the quick upload !!!

[@mpharr2]

Great kick-off race -

[@Sting79]

These guys get after it!

[@teranceparker4728]

Hopefully this race is another classic like the past races. As I still wait for the 2024 6 Hours of Adu Dubai from last week before the 2024 24 Hours of Adu Dubai in Dubai Autodrome while I am looking forward to the 24 Hours of Daytona on NBC Networks on my box staring in the morning.😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@hanwa2258]

Formation Lap 01:35 Race start 05:10

[@mpharr2]

IMSA- Consider a video on what a Mx5 Cup car costs? And another video on what data is gathered/shared during qualifying between teams and what is shared by all competitors

[@sarconic]

The hell? Why in the world would you use a picture of the finishing order as your thumbnail?!?
