The sun doesn't set until past 7:30 in the evening so running a six race with even three hours of darkness would be impractical from a fan attendance standpoint( people need to be at work on Monday morning). The Middle East races run in the dark because the races are subsidized by the governments so they literally don't care about whether there are people in the stands or not. COTA is a fully privately enterprise facility. They can't run the race later in the year because the fall is HUGE college ( ESPECIALLY in Texas) and NFL football season, in the US, which would drop attendance and TV/streaming ratings.
I have a 2016 gt with pp1. While the engine and chassis are durable. The body is decidedly not. Galvanic corrosion required that the hood be replaced after about 6 years. This current year at 9 yrs the door latches failed. The door to the gas tank needs to be fixed. So I would add about an additional 2k to the price of ownership. I use the car for spirted driving, autocross and track days. I would not change the car for anything. I still love it.
I agree with De Vries here. But if a joke. Felt like a manufactured win that. Not to say at all that AF Corse weren’t deserving winners, but hey, grabbed the headlines didn’t it -“Ferrari win GP and World Endurance on same day”.
Back in the mid 80s when I was in HS we would cruise down 6th st up to congress ave, and race from congress down 5th st towards I35.. Minimum wage was $3.25 , gas was .87 cents. lol #goodtimes 54yo #nativetexan
Buemi does not deserve to be in WEC, this was attempted murder that warranted a black flag. Maybe the worst move I've seen in all top level racing in years, absolutely unjustifiable. This wasn't racing.
33:15: Anthony Davidson speaks to this. Stuff happens in the heat of the moment sometimes from frustration. A similar situation may have happened with Rahal Frey. In the previous stint, Sarah Bovy had complained about a lack of top end speed which resulted in an inability to pass the Corvette even with much fresher tires. Rahal then made a desperate move for a pass that was ill advised and resulted in contact.
And right after, Ant says it’s not characteristic for him.. has he not been watching the same races I have? Buemi has been making plenty of bone-headed moves both this and last year.
Try watching the behaviour of the Peugeots to the Audis at the 2011 Le mans. Frank Montagny and Marc Gene in particular. You can see it in the second Truth in 24 film, which I highly recommend
Toyota, this is what you get for still employing the Buemi scum-bag, a double loss...and at your home race...the real world champs came to take Fuji from you again. Remember not to brag about being world champs when you didn't have any real competition!
It's not you, it the broadcast rights. The rap up in cable is something fierce for the US (& Canada), if the WEC can navigate that... their will be more viewers. IMSA took a risk this year for the International broadcast, they do UA-cam Live as well as their own site. It's been going well from what I heard.
@@DuvJones The UA-cam live broadcast is blocked in the US by IMSA's TV agreement with NBC/Peacock. It will probably be the same with FIX next year as I doubt they want to sabotage the viewership on the TV and streaming platform.
You guys act like such babies sometimes! How about you come do my office job & I’ll finally get my chance to do your job better & more professionally! 🤟
lmfao bro ud pass out cold doing half what they do lil loner, theres a reason theyre where they are, and you are....welll.... you,.. at home in the comments, pf f g t
This has got to be the best Full Access yet. Beautiful editing.
They should really run this race in the evening next year. The drivers are getting dangerously hot in these cars.
atleast they got ACs, i dont know if its enough to cool inside the car
@@itschrisjerald That one good thing for having such a bloated minimum weight; you can put some driver accommodation
@@itschrisjerald some dont like the toyotas and porsches- no ac inside
and the fans, i was there and it was insane how hot it was. texas in august is just a bad idea

So Happy for Yifei, Swartz,kubica
Kevin Estre had a really cold headed reaction both at the wheel and after for what could have been a disastrous crash with Buemi late move.
What makes him great.
absolutely bonkers documentary!!!!!!thanks WEC!!!!!
So exciting, so immersive ! But, (if I may), please, show us a little bit more LMGT3. That's the spirit of endurance too.
What a great win for the #83 AF Corse team! Things we love to see. Forza Ferrari!
4:16 lmao. Never change Andre.
pretty wholesome moment for Alpine celebrating their best result this season. Building nicely!
Makes it even better knowing they got their first pole this year too.
This is exciting to watch the inner workings of racing.
great video!
The formation lap leading into Green Flag racing the Stone Cold Steve Austin theme should of played.
19:58 that suit is soaked lol.
cadillac: and i took that personally
starting to like these videos very much
Awesome video!

Awesome
Tha'ts the kevin estre boys 38.45 🔥
La réalisation est toujours au top , c'est dingue! 👏 (il n'y a que ça de bien dans ce championnat et cette foutu "BOP"🤫)
This is awesome!
Ale Kubica nawija po włosku
Całe życie tam prawie mieszka w sumke
Lepiej niż po Polsku.
Kubica ❤
Gosh, the FIA's little dictator won't like all this swearing!
Fucking exactly, thank you. It's for grownups.
Buemi blocking Estre and almost forcing him into the barrier. Puncture for Buemi.
song at 11:40?
5:02-5:34 music name?
5:02-5:34 thx🙏.
5:02-5:34 those r some sexy cinematix 💥.
39:12-40:05 forza ferrari 🎉!

Robercik ma taki luz
to ask shwartzman what was harder is ridiculous and that man should be ashamed.. right after a victory to ask him something like that?! disgraceful
❤
What? A full access without Andre Lotterer?🤣
He was there for a brief moment
Can we at least have an option to turn the subtitles off? Not everyone needs them.

It was Grosjean level stuff

That was an extremely disappointing episode. Tons of excitement in Lmgt3. But no love there.
4 minutes before you've got even the slightest clue this is about a race. Another BANGER, FIA/WEC (JK)
O , jak zwykle , zapomnieli o Kubicy mhmuhumhu .
lmfao ok crybaby
Toyota, this is what you get for still employing the Buemi scum-bag, a double loss...and at your home race...the real world champs came to take Fuji from you again. Remember not to brag about being world champs when you didn't have any real competition!
WHY does WEC hate the US viewer so much? You literally hide your series from us.
Full races on youtube for free.
lmao, mate, watch imsa then boi
@@phixxter6575 Same thing, I have to VPN those as well, live...

Great race right up to the end, and a bit of niggle creeping in as well, just to make it spicy!!
You guys act like such babies sometimes! How about you come do my office job & I’ll finally get my chance to do your job better & more professionally! 🤟
Literally all spoiled babies that have no idea how good they have it!
You wouldn't survive 20 seconds on cold tires out of the pit lane
Who the hell is this bum lol
Half of the people here don’t understand that this is a joke
