IMSA 2019

[Doc Austin]

My favorite race of the season and no TV coverage.

Wait............ seriously?

Wait............ seriously?

Seriously. Live on IMSA and NBC's web sites only. Tape-delayed at 7:00p on NBCSP but edited down to 3 hours.

I do enjoy the little - no commercials on IMSATV.

Well, I hope you're not in North America, because the primary broadcast is blocked here. Apparently all we get are in-car views. TVRacer originally said this would be on NBC Sport Gold but it's not listed there.

NBC Sports Live. The IMSA.tv broadcast is only available in Europe and Australia outside of the feeder series events and qualifying.

This better be commercial-free.

Extremely fortunate that was only a two-car incident.

Who screwed up in the first five minutes??

Got it. Sheee-it, they didn't get through the esses!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

So I lose the connection. When I get back, they're under the rear of the #31! WTG?

Action Express cars got into each other.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Fratricide. Just lovely.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This pace from Mazda is just crazy. Of course, that'll make it that much sadder when they figure out how to lose.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I am NOT saying anything nice about Mazda this week. It's not going to be my fault this time.

Found a twitch stream, I've been fuming about not being able to watch this...

Only two LMP2 entries? Yikes man.

I saw Friday that there are rumors of two cars being added to LMP2 next year, and another PR1/Mathiasen entry might show up to make three at Road America and Laguna Seca later this season. It's in a tough spot though, if they can't get advance notice of additional entries before the Roar next year I wonder if they just drop the class.

 

[Kiante]

Goes to show just how strong the chassis is of the Mazda. They are absolutely torching the field right now. I mean they have been on rails this weeked.

 

[Hotrod]

Good call for the teams that jumped in the pits early before the pits closed for this Full
Course Caution. This may be an interesting finish. Thanks FL for the link ! You always come through!

 

[Kiante]

This restart is going to be bananas.

Makes it even better that this race ends, jump right into the Cup race.

 

[Kiante]

Montoya dummied Ticknell to take the outside after the Sess' to break that draft the 55 had.

Veteran move, I think Jarvis in the 77 is faster. Let him have a go.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Few things are better than a sports car race going to ambient sounds only, no commentary.

Jarvis is the best driver in the field this weekend IMO, but this traffic is hurting him.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Just like the Verstappen pass you have to let that stand, IMO.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Impressive stop by Joest to beat Penske out of the pit.

 

[Hotrod]

Looks like the 55 is delaminating....

 

[FLRacingFan]

Mazda have to win this either way. Play it cool.

 

[Hotrod]

Finally Mazda ….. Finally ! Well done Joest and company.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It's been a long time coming. Well done, Mazda and Joest.

A final stint a little over one hour long and the three main classes all have a MOV of under a second. Are you kidding me?!

 

[racingfan7]

Watching it now so I'm ignoring every post. Very nice crowd on hand.

Unbelievable. I guess the nascar race ram late and they only showed the last 30 minutes if the IMSA race. except they clipped off the finish and let us hanging. Good thing we have the internet or I'de have no idea who won. Absolutely pitiful they have to delay the broadcast and still cut into it, and miss the finish too. NBC should be better than this.

Nonsense. That didn't happen. NBC/SN aired the final three hours of the IMSA race, including winner interviews and updated points standings. Mazda #55 won, and Porsche #911 won GTLM.

 

[StandOnIt]

last three hours in it's entirety. I watched it.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I can understand IMSA paying for a tape-delayed broadcast on NBCSN after a Cup race but to put the live race behind a paywalled stream is lame. If there's not enough room for a live TV broadcast and you have to stream it it should be on IMSA.tv

 

[FLRacingFan]

First race of the year on big NBC.

I flipped the IMSA race on at 7 pm and the nascar race was on until 8:45. That's what happened. I don't have an explanation of it, but that's what happened.

 

[Doc Austin]

The (nascar) race has been rescheduled for 1 p.m. ET Sunday and will be broadcast live on NBC.

Dude, thanks so much!

Figures that the IMSA and Cup races are on at the same time.

Schedule changes due to Mother Nature.
