56th Rolex 24 at Daytona

[FLRacingFan]

Cindric and Briscoe were almost never really below 7th either, and were in the top 5 when the car failed inside the final half hour. Pretty good run for both cars considering how little road experience any of the youngsters besides Cindric have.

Is it me, or does this race gets less and less air time on accessible channels?

It's criminal how the one channel we can watch the race only gets like 2 hours.

I know, seems that way, it sucks.

AT&T U-Verse for the win with FS2.

I thought the same thing. Continues to prove to me anyway, just how high the caliber of drivers are that drive the "Taxi Cabs" as the detractors like to say.

Each car starting on the front row.

If you ever get mad about the coverage during the race, remember it's still 3 times better than NBC.

It appalls me how well Fox does certain things and how incredibly stupid they are doing others.

And NBC is 5 times better than delayed and edited on Wide World of Sports.

Welcome to 2018!

 

[Kiante]

Nasr pushing already... He'll learn.

 

[StandOnIt]

C'mon booth do you really think that dude doesn't know how hard Castroneves is to pass?

One of the most aggressive defensive drivers I have ever seen.

Helio is ****** relentless.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

BMW starting the same way they practiced and Qed. Ford starting like they finished last year.

 

[StandOnIt]

The Ford GT's are setting a hell of a pace.

9 second lead already.

4 Caddys in P top 5.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Some of these drivers are going at it like it's the last 5 minutes of the race. Dang.

 

[nickp]

This is a 24 hour SPRINT race

 

[FLRacingFan]

The Nissans are really quick and coming fast.

Just sayin’.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

"Joe-ow Barbosa"

 

[Reck]

They upload qualifying ASAP if you wanna check it out. Prototype was by far the best.

Saw it last night, thanks.

Castroneves almost had it. The Taylor boys snatched it. Them boys are always so quick.

I just woke up. What is going on in this race? The Corvette boys and Wayne Taylor Racing guys started on pole but are something like 55 and 30 seconds behind respectivately last time I saw.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

And there's the first real screw-up of the day.

#10 is off sequence. The Vettes aren't slow as much as the Fords are fast.

#10 is off sequence. The Vettes aren't slow as much as the Fords are fast.

Fords are at least half a second quicker than everyone else in GTLM, it’s insane.

The Ligier obviously doesn’t have the pace but Alonso is working his ass off this stint to get inside the top 10 and chase down Frijns.

 

[StandOnIt]

whew, the 77 Mazda is not having a good day

His pace looks good, I would not be surprised to see someone with better equipment sign Alonso up for next year.

 

[StandOnIt]

I like what Mario said about how drivers can run different series, but some hide behind contracts. Alonzo got a good stint and is running smart IMO.

 

[Doc Austin]

Wow. What an incredible sight when those 20 beautiful prototypes headed down to the start. Sportscars are back, baby

 

[StandOnIt]

Guys like Alonzo are event makers like Harvick was saying about Nascar going to different tracks, Certain drivers can do it also.

 

[StandOnIt]

Race preempted for Utah Arizona? on Fox and UFC fight night? on FS-1. Somebody needs their head examined.

Well now to FS2.

 

[Pat]

Wait.. out of gas? really?

 

[Kiante]

Wait the Ford GT has over a 30 second lead already?

Good lord. I was helping my Dad weld at the shop, so that surprised me like hell to see that already.

 

[StandOnIt]

Full course caution and the Vetts are right there. That could happen as the race wears on

 

[FLRacingFan]

A few cool tidbits I found out:

Jimmie Johnson’s father and brother are the spotters for the ESM Nissans.

Three JGR spotters are spotting for the 3GT Lexuses.

Paul Miller Racing shook down their Huracan at New Smyrna last night.

 

[GenerationZRacingFan]

Right rear tire on the 22 looks like it met Darth Vader in a bad mood.

Vader unapproves Patron.

 

[Kiante]

Right rears down everywhere.

I wonder if its the kerbing of one of the right hand corners that has a piece of the kerbing exposed or something?

 

[nickp]

anyone else listening to the IMSA Radio/RSL feed and noticing that Andrew Marriott is starting to sound as gruff
