I am sooooooo ready for this weekend.

You scared the poop out of me. I've been out birding all day and thought I'd missed the first several hours!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Some updated/tribute liveries this weekend:

50 years of BMW North America:



1987 Sebring GTO class winner:

Update: well this sucks. When I googled on Monday who was showing the 12hour race it said Peacock and YouTube. Now it only says Peacock. I checked the imsa website: same thing. I have been diddled. My apologies if I led anyone astray.

Editors note: most of you lot were led astray a long time ago

Come along, fair maiden, that I might escort thee down yon garden path...

YouTube for those outside the U.S., although for the first time they’re showing all support races this week - including Pilot Challenge - on YouTube within the States.

The younger Vanthoor brother goes 2/2 in poles to start the season for BMW; Ferrari sweeps pole awards for the GTD ranks.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Green.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That didn't take long. LMP2 drama.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Early braking dramas for the class-leading AF Corse Ferrari, lots of time to get back on the lead lap though. Same for the Pfaff Lambo with the torque sensor issue.

 

[Hotrod]

Big crowd, great weather (at the track), and that Aston prototype sounds
badass. Lets hope we can hear it for the whole race, TV doing a good
job covering it.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

TV doing a good
job covering it.

The IMSA production team does a better job of covering 50 to 60+ cars than Fox does with 36.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That got stuffed in there pretty good, ouch. Probably a big penalty coming for the 10.

 

[Doc Austin]

Anyone got a live stream for the US? Can't get Peacock and it's not showing up on YouTube.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Delivered. Stop and 60 seconds. Sorry, Wayne, but that's on your car.

[Charlie Spencer]

Racing in Pro is insane.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Time to park the #18.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Juuuuuust a bit wide for the Era LMP2

Barrier repair is gonna take some time.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Time to park the #18.

I think he’s finished that thing off himself.

 

[Doc Austin]

Hopefully there will be a highlight package on Youtube tomorrow. All this streaming crap is beyond me.

 

[FLRacingFan]

P2s are having themselves a day…

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Didn't Spike have trouble late at the 24?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Didn't Spike have trouble late at the 24?

Yep, gearbox failure in the final hour iirc. No one wanted to win LMP2 that day.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Don't ask if a child was born in the campground, ask how many were conceived.

 

[Hotrod]

Link to live in car Aston - hope it works.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

All this streaming crap is beyond me.

@Doc Austin , I had the same feeling but it turned out to be not difficult. One suggestion is to try it when you DON’T need it, instead of on race day.

Get a cheap streaming device (Roku, Firestick) for less than $30 from Amazon. Connect it to one of the HDMI ports on your TV. Use your TV's remote to set you TV to that port. Plug the stick's AC adapter in and follow the on-screen instructions.

Unless you're already an Amazon Prime member, don't try that streaming service. You'll want to save the 30-day free trial for when Amazon has Cup coverage. The Peacock app will probably be loaded for you already.

It’s been a rather unspectacular return to Cadillac for WTR so far.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Good time to transplant a couple of things.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

WTR living in interesting times.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Commercial break with 7:07 remaining. I'll catch the rest during the week. Time for a shower and then the Xfinity race.

I've got a firestick but can't find the race. Easy way out, I guess, is to just get Peacock

 

[FLRacingFan]

Really good run for the Valkyrie so far, on the lead lap at the halfway mark. There were some early yellows but a lot of green running since. Much better than the car’s WEC debut in Qatar.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Great pass by Nasr on the outside of Bamber for the lead.

 

[FLRacingFan]

‘Banana Ball’ is in town tonight but hopefully I’m back in time for the closing hour.

 

[Hotrod]

Alright , everyone seems to be behaving. Porsche turning the vice clamp screw.
