I hope this series is here to stay. IMSA has been needing a raw, cinematic docu-series like this.

[@offintheesses]

This is just incredibly well done! A great way for new fans to learn and understand the sport but also great insight for fans who have been watching for years! Can't wait for the rest of this series!

[@n2thea]

I don't need DTS fake drama, this is proper excellent cinematic documentary telling of endurance racing. Become a new fan now, been reading so much info and videos!

[@dimitrisvarvakis7724]

Finally some video material worthy of the series. Well done, IMSA.

[@jasony9950]

Whoever’s producing this… thank you! Some great videography and editing.

[@JFdotMUSIAL]

:)

[@ashtonnorling2894]

The production of this is incredible. Well done 🏁👏🏼👏🏼

[@ShaneJoseph131083]

We need more of this, we'll done content after each race. LOVE IT!

[@guccislide_7715]

They made Marshall Pruett comb his hair😂

[@chrisheath8139]

OMG.....thank you thank you thank you! MORE....MORE....MORE!

[@Tanteemteta]

This series is so well done! Bravo IMSA!

[@sterlingarcher4957]

Really good stuff here. I went to the Rolex 24 2023 and this definitely captured the essence of the race.

[@wvuboyz1]

IMSA blew this out of the water. Exactly what race fans want.

[@subasurf]

IMSA giving us fans what we want. No other motorsport categories come close when it comes to producing free content

[@jongil1]

This is a fantastic series, I look forward to each episode!

[@DocLarsen44]

If there was a failure at the Daytona 24 Hours, it was at NBC; the coverage was all wrong for the endurance motorsports fan, IMHO.

[@thejerkyshack8040]

If only they had an experienced team producing a better broadcast on site at all the events. NBC wouldn't even need to spend money sending out a crew.

[@elcamino3250]

What a great video, really takes you inside an incredible race.

[@retinalblur]

Another great ep. The editing and music is killer. Now that Porsche’s Road to Le Mans S4 is over, this is keeping my endurance racing passion HOT!

[@kshaffer82]

Can I please have this series for the rest of....forever? Thanks.

[@Tankbeard]

This is some serious production value. Anyone remember Truth in 24? Similar vibes, really. Now all we need is Jason Statham as the narrator. :D Really looking forward to the series this year.

[@JFdotMUSIAL]

Lots of lessons from Truth in 24... including learning how NFL films did their post back in the day.

[@mike605]

I Thank all of you good folks that make it possible to watch great Racing like this. I know I will never get to go to a real race like this in my life time so it's very nice to watch it on youtube. so Thank You very much.

[@FarmYardGaming]

Couldn't wait for this, bonus points for Marshall Pruett

[@clawsmayhem7268]

Fabulous production. Brings back good memories of that weekend❤

[@bernardoberner4]

This race was a banger, glad I watched almost all of it, unfortunately fell asleep between 16-10hours to go

[@Av3ntur0zky]

It's crazy how the race developed. Porsche thought that reliability was their strength. On the other hand Acura won even with less amount of time testing.

[@leahciMTek]

This series is beautiful, I love it. Keep it going IMSA!

[@faulkmediaphoto]

IMSA Is doing good things with video like this!

[@xentoro7861]

please please please continue producing these videos we need something like this for GTP

[@gordtanner8332]

Hoping that Porsche and BMW can pick it up next race. Great video!

[@lachlancampbell3538]

More of this, brilliant content!

[@MV-yp8il]

Well done, IMSA! 🥰💪

[@neilmcdonald5142]

What as awesome vid. I hope they keep churning these out!

[@JoeMaters]

Awesome guys. Don’t stop please. All we need now is for you guys to drop Peacock and be back with the awesome flag to flag coverage that ESPN provided online.

[@321-Gone]

Change the rules to allow the smaller LMH teams to run in IMSA. Like Glickenhaus. They don't produce enough cars for your rules but are an American team.

[@JohnnyRacerX]

Excellent production !

[@dougsmith4678]

B Roll + Classical music = Spectacular Cinematography. Love this!

[@Matthewboudreau]

I can feel the passion! I can’t wait for the next episode.

[@tylerbrown1234]

I really enjoy these and have been looking forward to this one! Onto episode 3!

[@purebredamericanmutt]

A true test of men and machine

[@camrsr5463]

well done IMSA! Media attention is getting stronger Fan attendance is up And KZbin content creators are popping up everyday. (especially endurance racing) Question. will all of the endurance races ( Daytona Sebring Watkins and Road Atlanta ) get a video like this? that would be cool

[@chatterbox1337]

This was cool nice job.

[@JDKempton]

The television coverage was the best I've ever had the opportunity to watch

[@BPsnowdon]

More of this please 🎉❤

[@cjsmreks]

Incredible! Can’t wait for the 12h of Sebring!

[@SmoothJaz100]

This is how you sow the seeds of passion!!! Make it REAL!!! Well done 😎❤️👍🏾

[@benjamindunlop9057]

great coverage, whoever is doing your video/photo/editing is knocking it out of the park!

[@nomiguda]

Seriously, I am incredibly impressed with this series. Grade A production you'd expect to pay for. Wow. As a new fan, this is a great window into the sport.

[@JohnCharb87]

Great series. Adding Lacrimosa was a nice touch.

[@RumbleKar]

NBC doing commercials for Peacock ruined the entire broadcast. I didn't pay extra to watch ads every 10 minutes

[@0Synergy]

Watch their international stream.

[@ChrisR673]

Glad to see the hype-thrusters were reeled back a little bit compared to Ep.1, whole video was much more level, bring-on the next!

[@pedroa.baptista4906]

Amazing!! Shootout to IMSA guys, because, that's a banger!!!!! Waiting for the next episodes!!!

[@JOEMANCOULTER]

This is Great to watch keep it going. found a new racing sport show!!

[@Staggs2200]

This is how all motorsports content should be. Just real behind the scenes with no artificial drama. MotoAmerica also has a great show like this. I think it's narrated by the same guy.

[@Charlemagne89]

Ah, Spinelli and JF Musial helped create this. Nice. Been a fan since Jalopnik and /DRIVE ten years ago! Here's another radical idea: Add Leo Parente for some commentary! Finally got to meet him at IMSA Mid-Ohio in 2018 and that was wild just to see him after all the videos on /Drive.

[@rickswanracing3139]

AWESOME coverage.. keep it going.

[@brianmetcalfe7075]

Outstanding work to everyone involved! I was at the Rolex and Sebring for the start of the hybrid era, and from what I have seen so far, this is totally capturing the vibe and spectacle that is IMSA 2023. I hope this is the start of bigger things to come for what is truly my favorite racing series!!!

[@frivexxx]

Excelent video

[@yamachicken1334]

So awesome

[@2011mendo]

Great history event..

[@storkpatrick]

HUGE PROPS for including Marshall in this

[@prelunatic]

Giga content. Regards. 🖖🖖

[@BenjaminMoon]

This series is so good!!

[@apm78229]

Missed the drama about the MSR gearbox issue that hung over their head for much of the race, but otherwise excellent.

[@JFdotMUSIAL]

Episode 3? :)

[@Roodah1015]

💯💯💯

[@kekekaelin]

Andy Lally in the Cruisin Cafe’!!!! Hell Yea!!!

[@verde629]

Since Acura is pretty much Honda they have knowledge of hybrid engines because of F1. They’re engines have RedBull at the top so no wonder the Acuras are so fast

[@JK-bn9om]

Go Cadillac!!!

[@dongmr4735]

NICE！Hope the next video is 4K haha👍

[@stevemcrichards8768]

This is excellent. I'm likin' it a lot. Keep up the great work.

[@321-Gone]

good video

[@RCRitterFPV]

No reason IMSA can’t blow up like F1

[@HerrLiebert]

Almost perfect motorsport series... more run run and less bla bla

[@stevenkilsdonk2046]

@9:03 lol

#GladiatorOfSpeed

[@bxt9523]

Excited but too short of a show

[@imsaofficial]

If you have questions regarding the duration of these episodes, please feel free to contact [e-mail]. Although we'd love episodes with a longer duration, or even following each event, the shows produced were within the allotted production budget. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

[@obsidian....]

Williams' MGUs did about as good as their F1 cars...

[@briandavis55]

New Netflix doc?

[@obsidian....]

Noice... Too bad MSR decided to cheat. Definitely should lose the watches and the "Win"

[@gdoumit]

Fantastic video. My only complaint is it came out weeks after Daytona. Amazing job. I love these prototypes.

[@ElMicrowave]

jesus christ these guys are as if will buxton had multiple personality disorder XD

[@chopz9]

Cheaters!

[@yeahbuddygarage]

We had a great time at the Rolex 24!! Yeah Buddy Garage making a cameo appearance at 9:23 😎

[@xkj-286-86ho]

😎🤟🏽
