What is the Rolex 24? | A Beginner's Guide!

[@offintheesses]

What are you most excited for at the Rolex this year?

[@TwoAcresandaMule]

Sitting in my favorite spot on earth. Turn 1 at dawn.

[@offintheesses]

@@TwoAcresandaMule should be a great view! Hope you have a great time!

[@emmanuelmiller5569]

I am looking forward to seeing who will make it to the in GTP.

[@syedbilalnafees2002]

I hope the New Hypercars will draw in new viewers/ fans for both Endurance and GT racing in IMSA, WEC, GT challenge ets. All these series deserve more fans considering the racing it produces

[@offintheesses]

Could not agree more! So much great sportscar racing out there that many people don't know about!

[@cco53587]

All the OEMs should be on the phone with game developers on putting these cars into video games so more people can find out about them and the series that race them. BMW is already the first LMDh in iRacing.

[@mionellessi3086]

It already had. Le Mans is sold out.

[@novaldigunturputra495]

it'll be my first time watching Rolex 24 Hours, and the debut of LMDh car. Can't wait!

[@Steenar123]

I am a new viewer and I am watching because I'm very curious about hypercars!

[@merik1991]

That Porsche battle last year was amazing!I remember being on my toes for that last 30 minutes,hope this year we enjoy such and more battles!

[@offintheesses]

The ending to last years race really was amazing! Hopefully we get more of that this year!

[@darnoldie]

The replay of the door banging between Jam Jam and Landlord Larry in GT Pro reminds one that it truly ain't over until its over. That was one for the history books. Great stuff!! Your video was an excellent reminder of what is involved in not just the 24 hours. But in everything leading up to it as well. New cars have been testing a lot. The big question still remains: Will they hold up for 24 hours in anger. We shall see.

[@offintheesses]

When I was rewatching that clip it just gave me flashbacks to sitting on the couch last year and how amazing that battle was for the laps leading up to that moment. It is a finish that will be remembered for a very long time!

[@SomeNerdWithaBeard]

Thank you for making these videos. I am taking my wife to the Rolex to her first race ever and you explained things very concisely for her.

[@offintheesses]

Glad to hear they’ve been helpful! Hope you have a good time!!

[@stealthswim223]

I am a new fan of imsa. A friend talked About it and I never heard of it before. Now I really like it.

[@offintheesses]

Glad to hear! You've picked a great time to start getting into it!

[@marcosrodriguez4332]

1st video I watch of yours. What an awesome channel man !

[@offintheesses]

Thank you Marcos!

[@CobraAce04]

Just discovered this channel. Good concise video, obviously aimed at complete newbies but still quite enjoyable for longtime sportscar fans like me. Also, I love your channel name, and I can't help but wonder what esses you had in your mind when you thought of the name. I'm imagining Maggots and Beckets at Silverstone but that's just my bias

[@offintheesses]

Thanks! There is going to be some more introductory content coming this week aimed at trying to get new fans up to speed with the sport! I actually got the name from the final couple of corners at Mosport which is called the Esses! With it being my home track I wanted to tie that it but also have it be relatable for a general race fan!

[@keeganthacker9072]

You should definitely do a full driver's line up

[@americangreensturf]

Can’t wait! Just bought general admission with infield+garage passes. SO EXCITED!!!!!

[@offintheesses]

That's awesome, hope you have a great time!

[@moriorinvictus6522]

My first year going to this ..was on my bucket list..your video was great explaining it all as I knew nothing about this …let me know if you have any recommendations for first timers..

[@offintheesses]

That's awesome! You're picking a very good year to go! Make sure to bring warm clothing because it can get quite chilly at night! Also make sure to take advantage of being able to go into the garage area and check out the cars up close. Best to do that on the Thursday or Friday when they're going to be practicing!

[@Armzilla-]

I went yesterday for the 1st ever and saw the BMW endurance race. It was so HYPE!

[@offintheesses]

That was a great race to go to! Also a great MX-5 cup race!

[@beave53]

I going to the 12hrs at Sebring. Can’t wait to see the new cars there. Too bad there are no Motorhome spaces at Daytona. Or I would have gone. But I have a reserved spot in paddock turn 15 at Sebring. Maybe next year at Daytona if a space frees up.

[@offintheesses]

That's awesome! Hope you have a good time at Sebring and best of luck getting a spot at the Rolex next year!

[@quinncoleman9086]

how do the points work?

[@offintheesses]

I will have a video coming out this weekend that will help explain the points (among other things)!

[@neosonixyz]

first time watching endurance racing, hope it will be great

[@offintheesses]

It will be! It's a long race but the battles that go on throughout are bery enjoyable to follow!

[@LiamDrives]

You need to show us your sim rig in the back!

[@offintheesses]

Haha maybe one day!

[@keeganthacker9072]

I can not log in to my Daytona account and find my tickets and ideas on who to contact to get my tickets?

[@offintheesses]

Hey Keegan, I personally haven't experienced you're going through but I'd say check out the track website and give them a call!

[@moriorinvictus6522]

Check Your email

[@Capitan_Chaos]

It's that time of the year again...

[@offintheesses]

It's almost here!

[@TonyPucillo]

Love that shirt, will you come by the Team IMSA store and get a new one? Ask for me at the counter.

[@offintheesses]

Thanks Tony! Unfortunately I will not be at Daytona, looks like the forest race this year I will be heading to is the Glen!

[@tonybatman]

@@offintheesses we will see you there then. I love that place too.. the ice cream shops in town are the best in the country lol

[@offintheesses]

@@tonybatman Yes, see you there! I’ve cream was amazing and the racing was great, can’t ask for much more!

[@tonybatman]
