60th Rolex 24 at Daytona

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Time to end my hibernation since it’s 24 hours week. Forever one of my favorite races of the year

MX-5s are going for race 1.

 

[Kiante]

That was an INSANE finish.

If you mean the spotters guide, it will be released Tuesday:

GUIDES!

Spotter guide is up.

What time is the green?

 

[FLRacingFan]

That was an INSANE finish.

I can’t believe they had just the one full course yellow instead of about ten, lol. MX5 is usually wild enough on its own, then add rain and darkness.

I'm getting really sick of NBC trying to force Peacock on everyone. It's an absolute trash streaming app and I refuse to subscribe no matter what content they add to it

Well, I'm a liar. Subscribed last night. I'll give it a chance for this month at least

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It's an absolute trash streaming app

Since it will be the first app I'll use, I won't know any better.

Since it will be the first app I'll use, I won't know any better.

Only issue I've had is you'll think the batteries are dead in your remote. Hit a button, go pee, come back and scroll, hit button, fix sandwich. I might be exaggerating a bit but the interface is Sloooow.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Current NWS forecast. No mention of rain.

 

[FLRacingFan]

4-Hour MPC race is coming up on Peacock with some familiar names like Deegan, Harry Burton, Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric, Robert Wickens.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Deegan down 1 spot to 5th

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Here we go! Race day! Guess I ought to see if I can get Peacock on the TV or if I'm stuck on the laptop.

 

[Tony_K]

Peacock for the full 24 hours!

 

[nickp]

The Royal Rumble and Rolex 24 will be on Peacock at the same time

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well, that was more and less trouble than I thought.

It turns out the smart features of my 2016 Samsung TV aren't compatible with Peacock. The app wasn't even available from Samsung to install.

It turns out my 2018 laptop apparently doesn't have a mirroring or streaming capability to send to my TV.

The TV's web browser would display results from Google but would not load any of the half-dozen other URLs I tried.

In that order of preference, those would have been my preferred methods. So I wound up doing what I was pretty sure would work - cut the cable ties holding the Roku stick to the set in the garage and stuck it on the main set. I would have preferred not to move hardware around but needs must when the green flag drops.

I'd swear I remember the Peacock subscription as being $5.99 / month when I check last week. Sub'ing via the Roku stick came in at $4.99. At that rate, I may just keep it.

Not a bad group of guys:

 

[Kiante]

Wayne Taylor as a marshall?

Cool.

 

[nickp]

Let’s kick this racing season off!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Break out the swimsuits.

 

[donthaveanickname]

(possible) First time in history its colder at Daytona than at my place and it's the 500 weekend.
I guess I'll be watching a bit, as always I'm thankful for the free international live stream, I wish NASCAR or IndyCar had something like that .

Are any of you guys in attendance?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Looks like Peacock is about 8 seconds behind the TV broadcast.

#18 LMP2 spins on pit road pulling out for parade laps. NOT a promising start.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Already a spin just trying to exit pit lane for formation laps…gonna be one of those days on cold tires.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Snow in Maryland means I get to watch a ton this year. Let’s get it going!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

GREEN!

 

[Kiante]

LMAO. Ben Keating is doing double duty again in the 52 in LMP2 and the Mustang Sampling team in DPi.

... He can't continue to be considered a bronze driver after this...lol.

Local NBC decided to air Blizzard coverage at 1:30 instead of the Rolex start. They broadcast drivel all morning, and screwed the pooch at race time.
Peacock @ 2:30 for me.... Screw WJAR .

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Robert Wickens is the man

Go to Peacock now; it's already on.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Kamui doing Kamui things already.

 

[racingfan7]

Impressed by the crowd there haven’t seen it that full in a while

 

[Charlie Spencer]

A little split screen for the feature segments would be nice.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Impressed by the crowd there haven’t seen it that full in a while

Thought about going but too cold

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Kobayashi is nonstop entertainment

Great battle between Albuquerque & Derani in traffic
