Let me first express my gratitude for uploading this race for those of us who are die-hard IMSA fans, that were unable to watch this live. Secondly, I would also like to commend you for the best coverage i.e. broadcast professionals, the racing world has. The depth of knowledge, and their unbridled enthusiasm for this sport is a God send. Thank you, from a Pennslyvania boy who hates nascar.
formula one could learn from imsa. I'm 17 and because they streamed it I watched the whole thing (my first time whatching too) streaming is the best way to get more people into raceing
Agreed. I was using a VPN to watch the IMSA stream here in the US. Really was mad that FOX had complete control of the US Stream, but it is what it is.
I've done a lot of complaining, but truthfully I enjoy watching these events. I sincerely appreciate them posting these races. I am old enough to remember when it was common for sporting events to be shown on tv in a taped format, live was a luxury. Endurance races are tough for everyone, including the fans. After the fact, this race was pretty good.
I just love having these videos on in the back ground so I can keep an eye on what’s going on and still get a few things around the house sorted, both the wife and myself are then happy 👍
@IMSA Thank you for putting these three videos together. I don't have cable TV but this is even better in my honest opinion. Cheers! See you guys at Sebring and possibly VIR.
Thank you IMSA, watched it live most of day on and off, live timing and leaderboard on your website was also excellent! Good to see it uploaded for those that missed it.
Thank you for continuing to provide full race replays IMSA! Truly awesome to be able to watch it here! If I could request one thing look into adjusting the volume when using onboard camera feed it becomes nearly impossible to listen to the commentary. Other than that it is awesome and I look forward to the rest of this race (only 1h in) and the 2018 season!
Fans need to support this series more, get out and go to the race, you'll be glad you did. I'm on my way to Daytona now for the 2019 Rolex 24. See you in the pits.
brilliant coverage live and quick upload, I was expecting albuquerque or conway cars to win, ford gt lm has always been the best and lamborghini was fast and showed great reliability as well, great race
Thank you so much for uploading this! If I may offer some constructive criticism for the next race, can you please turn down the mic levels of the cars during the onboard shots? It can be nearly impossible to hear/understand the commentary sometimes, and I can't fix it by turning up the volume because that makes the engine sounds louder too. Again, thank you for uploading these videos! I can't wait to watch the next one!
as a Canadian i feel we are very underserved in N.America we should see IMSA,WRC,Touring car we all these sports channels and yet we get so little coverage! i do enjoy F1,Indycar but we should get so much more!
Love IMSA, always such hot cars! Does anyone out there remember the Los Angeles Times Grand Prix of Endurance at Riverside International Raceway? Was anyone out there present at any of these races. The prototypes were incredible to watch!
oh great! thx a lot IMSA for da quick upload, as usual ^^ Missed da race but some friends tell me dat lot of worldwide STREAM problems on imsa.tv during race apparently... RACE START at 5:25 guys
There are dozens of reasons why someone would have issues streaming. We'll be adding a self-help doc in the coming weeks for visitors to use in addressing any issues they may experience when streaming.
I just watched WEC races for the 1st time (Spa, Le Mans, and Silverstone), and I discovered I like endurance racing. This is my 1st IMSA race (1/2 hour in), and wow! It's a different vibe that I can't describe, and it'll take me some time to work out the categories, but I love the look of these prototypes, and it's great to see familiar names & cars. (Alonzo is here too? :D ) Go Ford GT's!!! Edit: I'm losing patience with this production crew. We spend more than 2 minutes onboard an unidentified prototype when the commentators are discussing GT, or at least they were before switching to the onboard camera. After that I couldn't hear them, other than odd phrases like "gone off." Coming out of the car, I have no idea what the guy's on about, but it sounds important because he's shouting "That comes off!" I wish I could say the production was better for Le Mans, but it wasn't. Nobody is balancing the audio. That's very simple. Nobody is coordinating the video with the commentators. Grr! I like the race, but these are things that make it hard to watch.
Nice in-car Telemetry visual.. can you add Rpm Mph Telemetry. That will bring fans closer to their favorite driver's car's and track's, such as Daytona one of my favorites,le man's,watkins Glen..the speed's the gear shifts the mph is better than lap times. IMSA will be the leaders in motorsports viewers ratings will increase 80% we wanna see how fast the car's go
I want to be fair by adding that my assessment applies to ALL of the series, worldwide. IMSA just happens to be the most recent case. Hopefully there is better use of the BOP system in the Bathurst 12 hour race coming up this weekend. Bathurst has had some very competitive racing in the past. They could serve as a model of what competitive racing looks like.
try the DTM type live score tower..Makes name is more important in sportscar racing..makes logo should always be on the live scoring to be able to understand race positions...Car number,driver,makers logo...
So why dont you guys consider the two halves of the tri oval as the last turn as you are coming in to finish the lap and turn 1 when you start a lap just as you cross the finish line. That is what I think would make much more sense. Or maybe consider the entire trioval as turn 1, and put the start/finish line about halfway from NASCAR turn 4 and the trioval. That would I think would make way more sense same thing with what I said about the last turn and as you cross the start finish line start a lap with turn 1 of the course.
You gotta love the Cadillac fest 24 hours errrr... ahhhhhh I mean rolex24. Only guys who had a chance was penski. Please hope this isn't like last year.
Can I add a qualifying request? Why don't you do all 3 qualifying sessions and blend them into 1 qualifying session? So instead of starting all 3 classes with different green flag start times, have a mixed starting grid. Also why not do it in the middle of the night 2 nights before the actual race. I think that would make more sense.
@IMSA official My advice, reduce the ticket cost at Daytona because it's really expensive, At least for children under 15 were giving free entry. My other advice is you guys doing some donuts in the Miami to gain attention for people to watch this race more.
jack coffey probably copy written, so they wouldn't be able to, or they'd only be able to make the video available in the US as FOX doesn't want the Fox Sport footage shown outside the US
alex21212121 I think it turned left in the bus stop. I think I heard unsure if suspension broke and it turned, or if it broke after it snapped around (cold tires?).

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you IMSA!
I love these commentators as you say passionate about the sport, they really make the races come alive
Eddy G Yes indeed. Thoroughly enjoy watching it with these guys calling the race.
Jeremy Hansen, I agree the quality of the commentary is superior to most types of North American racing.
Jeremy Hansen. Wow you hate nascar lol nevermind subbing then!
Saw it live, worth seeing again :) Thanks IMSA
formula one could learn from imsa. I'm 17 and because they streamed it I watched the whole thing (my first time whatching too) streaming is the best way to get more people into raceing
Yup. This freakin' rocks.
Ditto !
Far better on IMSA than it was on FOX. Commentary is leagues better.
Agreed. I was using a VPN to watch the IMSA stream here in the US. Really was mad that FOX had complete control of the US Stream, but it is what it is.
I am a racing fan and my primary Motorsport is NASCAR, but now I’m starting to become a sports car fan. Thanks for uploading
A big thank you from an european/german racefan! I love american sportscar racing and I even liked the last generation of the daytona prototypes. :-)
Saw parts of this on TV, miss Rolex 24 I missed since 2012. Thanks so much IMSA for uploading the entire race!

Thank you IMSA for making your series available in Australia its fantastic.
It was a long 2 days waiting for this to get posted!! THANK YOU IMSA!!
Races will always be posted the Tuesday following a broadcast. Thanks.
Why not stream the races live on youtube? Your stream is not always stable.
sam oksner I'm
I realize it is pretty off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Javier Issac flixportal
thank you IMSA! definitely stepped up your upload timing over the last two years
wasnt expecting this for another 6 weeks
Good thank you ! Excellent job to Andrew staying up all night reporting in the pit lane legendary !
I was so upset that I couldn't stream this from IMSA...thank you for this!
I love IMSA.
Thank you
Great show, wonderful cars and noble competition. These are car racing.
Thanks IMSA from Italy
I just love having these videos on in the back ground so I can keep an eye on what’s going on and still get a few things around the house sorted, both the wife and myself are then happy 👍
Exactly
@IMSA Thank you for putting these three videos together. I don't have cable TV but this is even better in my honest opinion. Cheers! See you guys at Sebring and possibly VIR.

QUICK UPLOAD!!!!!! YAY!!!!! THANKYOU
Thank you for continuing to provide full race replays IMSA! Truly awesome to be able to watch it here!

Thanks from France for this vidéo !☺️
Thanks IMSA for a very quick upload!
Thank you for the quick upload and Thanks to all concerned for a Great race.
Amazing race, Daytona never disappoints! Thanks IMSA!

Thank you IMSA for the video. Love it!
Hell yeah! Between this and @FoxSportsGO, what a fantastic racing sports weekend!
brilliant coverage live and quick upload, I was expecting albuquerque or conway cars to win, ford gt lm has always been the best and lamborghini was fast and showed great reliability as well, great race
Thank you IMSA!!!
Had to watch this race again
Thank you so much for uploading this! If I may offer some constructive criticism for the next race, can you please turn down the mic levels of the cars during the onboard shots?

Love You IMSA,Thanks for Upload :-*
IMSA should allow the stream in the US as well. The viewership on tv dropped this year already and may drop more in following years.
Merci beaucoup vous avez assurer👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👊👊👊👊👊
I love the fact that they put lmp2 and dpi in the same classification rather than next season where they seperated dpi and lmp2 in 2 different class
as a Canadian i feel we are very underserved in N.America we should see IMSA,WRC,Touring car we all these sports channels and yet we get so little coverage! i do enjoy F1,Indycar but we should get so much more!
Was waiting for this I missed the whole race so upset go Ford , Cadillac and Ferrari
Thanks IMSA, i'm so bad for car 23, but will be better in next seasion
Love IMSA, always such hot cars! Does anyone out there remember the Los Angeles Times Grand Prix of Endurance at Riverside International Raceway? Was anyone out there present at any of these races. The prototypes were incredible to watch!
Yezzzzzz, Thanks IMSA for uploading the Daytona 24 Hour 2018 Race. Been waiting for this for a year XDDD👍🏻
oh great! thx a lot IMSA for da quick upload, as usual ^^
Missed da race but some friends tell me dat lot of worldwide STREAM problems on imsa.tv during race apparently...
RACE START at 5:25 guys

Yo amo IMSA

I like the race, but these are things that make it hard to watch.
The issue is they are overlaying a radio broadcast over a TV broadcast the us TV broadcast was better
Everytime there is a long onboard camera shot, does that just mean that the FOX broadcast was at commercials?
Probably
What kind of camera was that Mercedes using? That thing was clear af
Was refreshing the channel like crazy. Had to miss the race stream this year. But thank you so much for uploading
IMSA 2018 Live now!
We need the daytona road course in NASCAR
The drinking game comment was true. We used the phrase "longer stint" which made it a great race weekend!
And plus for future endurance car packages, put two standing rank things on the cars one for their class and the other for their overall rank.
You are the best.
Nice in-car Telemetry visual.. can you add Rpm Mph Telemetry.

How can you dislike the video they give it to us for free wow how disrespectful
Better Marathon Coverage seen here then what was on Fox Sports,FS1 networks{in USA}
I went to this race sat right on top of grand stands to see everything
I want to be fair by adding that my assessment applies to ALL of the series, worldwide. IMSA just happens to be the most recent case.

5:27 start
Thanks !!!!! :)
Hell yeah this racing imsa #1
What is the obnoxious buzz sound that happens whenever the Ford GT hits its brakes during "in-car" shots?
Damn that was fast!!
What is the beeping noise coming from the cars during the onboard cams?
@IMSA Official, is there going to be an upload of the Contintental Tire Sportcar Challenge Roar Before the 24?
1:26:31 "THE BLOODY DOOR, WON'T CLOSE!"
Race is live please this year
thx IMSA
So why dont you guys consider the two halves of the tri oval as the last turn as you are coming in to finish the lap and turn 1 when you start a lap just as you cross the finish line.

That would I think would make way more sense same thing with what I said about the last turn and as you cross the start finish line start a lap with turn 1 of the course.
Can anyone tell me what that buzzing noise on some of the gt onboards is?
Much better use for this track!!!!
What is that electric noise from Ford GT during deceleration?
You gotta love the Cadillac fest 24 hours errrr... ahhhhhh I mean rolex24. Only guys who had a chance was penski. Please hope this isn't like last year.
Can I add a qualifying request? Why don't you do all 3 qualifying sessions and blend them into 1 qualifying session?

so many beauty's 😍👊✌️
@IMSA official My advice, reduce the ticket cost at Daytona because it's really expensive, At least for children under 15 were giving free entry. My other advice is you guys doing some donuts in the Miami to gain attention for people to watch this race more.
I was there just got back yesterday
Whenever the cars use their break it sounds like a buzzer of some sort is being sounded.
Mazda gearboxes, sourced from the same supplier as the dearly-departed DeltaWing. Lucas electronics, possibly?
Looks so much fun
anyone know the song they used for the broadcast on Fox?
3:46:30 Best team on the field!
Anybody have timestamps for FCY's?
Could you upload the Fox pre race show? It’s always worth a watch.
jack coffey probably copy written, so they wouldn't be able to, or they'd only be able to make the video available in the US as FOX doesn't want the Fox Sport footage shown outside the US
the broadcasts they used to upload were the foxbroadcasts, so it wasnt a problem in the past.
Hard to believe the corvettes were absent from the Daytona 24 from 2001 to 2014.
No, they were not absent. The Whelen Corvette competed in the GT class and there were the Corvettes DP's before the merger
What is going on with this coverage? Why do we spend so much time in the first three hours watching on-boards and missing most of what's happening?
when is nascar gone doe the road course?
Did we hear what caused the 58 crash?
alex21212121 I think it turned left in the bus stop.
I think I heard unsure if suspension broke and it turned, or if it broke after it snapped around (cold tires?).
@2:30:22 they suggested suspension failure, but cold tires were suggested earlier in the broadcast.
Do these cars have a lap counter in the dashboard?
I'm pretty sure they do
Esse kra é uns comédia de vez eles passar ao vivo, mostra dps q acaba 😔
GM bought the P class again like in 2014, 2015 and 2017. Why is everyone only talking about Ford GT?!!
