2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona Race Thread

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Almost 6 hours in and it has been good racing

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Restart, intense battle.... flip to FOX Sports 1.

And, FOX Sports 1 isn't showing the race.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

And now, after spending six minutes not showing the intense racing, let's go to commercial.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

10 minutes into the broadcast, and we are finally seeing some racing

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

10 minutes later, we now return to racing. FOX sucks.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Anyone remember that time CBS spent 10 minutes showing highlights of the football game while the game was in progress? Oh, right, that didn't happen. LOL.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I figured either Graves or Mayer would botch it for an otherwise stellar lineup for Starworks.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hey @FLRacingFan, are you camping in the infield? That's what I plan to do when I go.

Go to sleep and wake up to the sweet smell and sound of motorsport.

Nope, but I'd like to someday. I got a two-day grandstand/infield wristband basically for free and paid $20 for Friday admission.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Ryan-Hunter Reay with have to wait another year to win one of these, so with Rubens, hopefully he will come back

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Wish they would show more of the GT Le Mans

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Intense racing.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wish they would show more of the GT Le Mans

I guarantee they will when Ganassi joins next year. I don't know why they usually don't though.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

That accident shouldn't have happened

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Very interesting racing and still 4 hours to halfway

 

[StandOnIt]

That one eyed Porsche 911 if they don't break is going to be tough to beat.

 

[PushRodV8]

Some good racing so far and no ridiculous amount of cautions. Imagine that. That Aston/Ferrari incident could have been avoided.

@FLRacingFan do you know if they allow fishing in the giant pond there? That would be on the list to do there if allowed.

 

[PushRodV8]

I'm sure lots of you are aware of the www.imsa.com stream but if you want some good background noise check out this Corvette in-car camera. http://www.imsa.com/camera/united-sportscar/corvette

They have a Porsche, Ford, Mazda and BMW in-car as well. Not to mention the race stream there too.

 

[StandOnIt]

Gees, the two Vetts and the one eyed Porsche in a dog fight. Rooftop Ray doing a heck of a job

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I' m pretty sure every PC car has had some sort of trouble

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson to the lead.

 

[Kiante]

Larson to the lead.

Going to be saying that a lot this year.

 

[StandOnIt]

Rooftop Ray did it again. Kudo's

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Gt Le Mans has been pretty interesting the past couple of minutes

 

[Zerkfitting]

Checking in this morning and they seem to be racing pretty hard. I don't remember how long ago it changed but the 24 hours seems to be more like a sprint race. I'm curious how much the lap times fall off during the race from years past.

 

[StandOnIt]

Kannan was pretty unimpressive in the 2. Larson's in, maybe he can do something with it.

 

[Zerkfitting]

Kannan is one of my favorite drivers. Watching an interview with Dorsey Shroeder and he was talking about how they don't let up any more, he talked about running easy at times in the past.

They showed a picture of all the drivers in the race that have a championship in any series, impressive group of a couple dozen drivers.

 

[StandOnIt]

Dixon is pushing hard with the Ganassi #2, tough break for the #1 car.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

This is racing!

 

[PushRodV8]

This is racing!

This is real racing. Endurance racing is the greatest form of motorsport. True test of man and machine.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

If you are near your TV and remote, flip over to FOX Sports 1. Now. Do it, do it now!

 

[PushRodV8]

I'm all for Corvette Racing but I'm pulling for the #02 Ganassi in the DP class. GTLM, I'm all C7R

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Going to be a great finish in the prototypes

 

[StandOnIt]

here is a real good leaderboard if you are watching around a puter. Fox's is pretty bad as usual.

[PushRodV8]

Oh man

 

[Zerkfitting]

I got a kick out of the in car audio of each type of car engine they showed awhile ago. The Vette sounded the best to me although I don't think they did the Viper. The Audi was so quite I thought it was a production engine.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Oh my

 

[FLRacingFan]

Christ this better be a quick caution, I really want to see the Taylor family win one.

I'm listening on a stream, so when they go to commercial, I hear all kinds of different motors. Pretty cool

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

All hell has broken loose in Daytona!

Don't think it is going to happen Dixon in the 02 is set on kill.
