A short track somewhere
If you don't have FOX Sports 2 or your cable provider doesn't offer FOX Sports GO, looks like you're SOL for most of this race.

Saturday, January 25th:
2-4pm: FOX
4-9pm: FOX Sports 2
9pm-7am: FOX Sports GO

Sunday, January 26th:
7am-3pm: FOX Sports 1

This FOX Sports 1 stuff is getting worse and worse for race fans by the day. Not only is this significantly less television coverage than years' past but a lot of that coverage is on some obscure channel.
 
luckily in years past there are foreign streams, Speed used to split the broadcast and miss the early morning hours, but you could hook up to a stream, but nothing compares to Fox Puke though.

9 PM - 7 AM is also on IMSA.com. But yeah, it sucks for most fans.

there we go, lots of things happen in the early hours, got to be a night owl though. The last couple of years they use wide long range shots of the racing, but they don't miss much if there are problems, you can usually see what happened, car failure, driver mistake etc.
 
FOX Sports 2 programming consists of UFC reruns, college basketbore, girls high school hockey (swear to god, this is on the schedule) and reality TV shows.

SPEED sucked in the final years but this stuff is worse.

Other than parents of the girls, who would watch that?

FOX Sports is seriously complaining about time constraints when they air **** like this, UFC reruns and College Basketbore around the clock. **** me senseless... I have no words for this stuff.

that is your opinion for sure, but compared to what it is now, it didn't suck at all IMO. Much better motorsports coverage. Not just for Nascarites and stick n ball fair weather morphs., but two wheel foreign and domestic, dirt cars and trucks, indy, F-1, and more.
 
The race marks the first-ever IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship event as the next era in sportscar racing launches with the blue riband event at Daytona International Speedway.

DVR's set so I can delay the start an hour and skip commercials during the open show.
Heading to the store now; Andy, you need more goose liver pate and caviar to go with your Bud Light?
 
Probably not many viewers here that will watch the race, BUT, for the ones that like this kind of thing, I am stoked.

On FOX Sports 2 now, then FOX, then FOX 2, then FOX 1. This is awful.

When you use to bitch about speed and all of the other networks, i told you to be careful what you wished for because the grass is not always greener on the otherside of the fence. Well, now your on the otherside of the fence... so how is it working out for you.?;)

The greener grass is NBCSN.
 
All these cars look so badass.
 
I think this series will continue to get stronger now that the France's have bought out and merged both series.
 
Is there anywhere else to watch tonight besides FOX Sports GO? I don't have one of three rural cable providers in Bum**** Nowhere that offer access to it.

They need more than 2 colors to ID the classes on the position scroll

Yeah, the new LED position markers on the cars should help a lot at night, and I always have an on line leader board running because the classes get pretty strung out.

It would if I could watch at night (don't have Fox2)
 
Wow sorry guys. In Canada we still have Speed TV, The pre race started at 12:30 goes until 9pm and picks up again at 7am. I thought Fox Sports was doing the same.
 
That is an odd looking car - kinda neat but I wonder how stable it is. You'd think handling would be better the other way around (I suppose it is more aero w/narrow front)

if you have a computer or one of those big phone thingys looks like there are plenty of streams you might be able to catch. I have found a couple already showing the race, don't know if the will make the switch to fox2 yet
