Many thanks for uploading the race! As an Indonesian fan, it's hard to keep up with IMSA races due to time zones... Full race uploads allowed me to keep with IMSA anywhere, anytime.
I want to thank IMSA and Velocity Channel Canada for making the complete 24 hour of Daytona race available on Velocity. We as Canadians, are very rabid race car fans with a very long list of world class drivers, race teams and tracks. We have been often forgotten up hear but it takes the likes of the IMSA crew to respect us up here in the Great White North. Too bad INDY Car does not have the same appreciation. Hi hope that Roger Penske can change that.
Thank you for the upload! I’m so glad racing season is back, but I no longer watch US-based race broadcasts because of the constant commercial breaks. I’ve been grateful for Mother’s Polish / ESPN’s commercial-free F1 coverage by Sky Sports in recent years.
Just starting to watch the replay today. Very slow day at work. All jacked up for a fantastic year of sports car racing. A very special shout out to Brian Till. Welcome back Brian. Hope the past health issues are behind you forever. It's great to have you apart of IMSA and Daytona 2020 broadcast team. I hope to finally meet you a CTMP (Mosport) this year. Cheers.
Did you hear about the two G.M. engineers that got caught Street Racing inntwo new Corvettes..? Yeah... it didn't go well with their boss. I'm betting they're both looking for new employment. 😒
I'm so happy that you guys uploaded this here. Have to wonder tho, don't the guys in the booth have no screen or are they just having one of those days. When Grist suddenly set a slow lap time, they had no clue of what was causing it even tho he had been shown on screen for the best part of a lap if not for longer, stuck behind another car. And then they apparently mixed up Jorge and Grant when they hit each other. Jeremy said Grant did absolutely nothing wrong while it was he who lost the car and shunted into Jorge.
@TheFlagstand . . . At the beginning of the video it stated this was an NBC-SN broadcast, which explains it all. NBC, including the "SN" has, going back decades, produced half-hearted coverages of motorsports events when compared to ABC-TV or CBS-TV in the US. Where CBS and ABC seem to have sharp crews that stays on-top of the action with a level of intensity. NBC seems more laid-back with its TV coverage that meanders; and in motorsports, that's not good.
@@bloqk16 I was just surprised that Jeremy, who always corrects the often serious miscalls dumbass Hindhaugh makes during their IMSA broadcasts, was so off his game. He rarely makes mistakes. Maybe it's a continuing curve, as there was the Michelin pilot challenge race in Road Atlanta last year, where he was talking absolute nonsense about a incident on the backstretch.
Absolutely! Jeremy is stats/factual commentator to John but on this broadcast he had to make up for the lead commentator's crassness. Austin didn't help either IMHO - nothing of interest, no strong opinions.
@@GT_onboards Thanks for replying. That would be great (for comparison WEC wait about a month for full coverage of each race to appear on UA-cam which is a bit frustrating.) Looking forward to 24h Daytona! :)
Oh look... it’s raining at the IMSA Challenge at Daytona... just like it does every year. I’ve found myself questioning starting the season every year at the one place in the world that is in the middle of their rainy season. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks a lot for the upload! Riveting stuff. Picked myself a good livery car at the beginning and was tense all the way through! Hopefully you'll have Hindaugh and Shaw together on the actual 24hr race, because this race's ensemble was...was not as good.
I would have liked to have seen Kirkwood's LR tire at the end. @IMSA Official please make sure we can hear all of the commentators. Thanks for the upload.
These are Global LMP 3 spec cars, so no GM lol. Looks like they are using Nissan VK50 (older) or VK56 (new) V8 engines in one of 4 different spec chassis.
Great race! Fascinating in the drying conditions and various safety car periods. But, with respect, the lead commentator is dire. He knows his stuff but he talks generically about e.g. "what's it like driving after a mistake?" when he should be talking about live action e.g. while there's an overtake for the lead or a crash between two cars. Please commentators, keep the generic chit chat for safety car timeouts and commentate on what's happening on track. Thank goodness John Hindhaugh commentates on the bigger races.
So I'm hoping that maybe John Hindaugh was out sick or something for this one, and that he will be back with Jeremy Shaw and the normal crew for the rest of the season. You will alienate and lose many many fans if you have replaced Mr. Hindaugh. You had a perfect formula last year with the commentating and the crew for these uploads.
Depends on team and how many sponsors you have. 120,000USD to 350,000USD depending on how much you want to race and what races you want to take part in for the series. These cars don’t race at Le Mans but some gentlemen drivers will pay 400,000+ USD in a Le Mans series. Also depends on how talented you are, if the team really wants you you’ll get away with the lower cost. The less experienced and slower guys pay the larger chunk. If you have a family friend that owns a company or is a CEO that believes in you, you can ask them to have their company sponsor you and pay a chunk if not all of the cost. If you don’t know any one in high places you start small and network until you meet someone you hit it off with. If you have no people skills or people just don’t like you as a person then you will not become a driver just being fast if you’re over the age of 18. Then you just sell your house, buy a cheap car, live with your parents, start up a company and save until you can sell that start up and start racing. If you don’t want todo that then you can learn to play poker and try to rake it in like that. Just takes some patience and hunger. Unless you’ve gone all in on a family already. Then you need to start with a divorce. This money goes to everything from car needs, insurance needs, crew and engineer needs, entrance fees and coaching needs. When you sign up with team with a professional driver part of that money is paying for their seat if they don’t have huge sponsors, as well as for them to teach you how to drive the car you both share and that’s a very special experience I must say.
We greatly appreciate your feedback. Not often we get a complaint about car sounds being too loud but a balance is definitely necessary. Hope you are finding that balance much better in 2023. Thanks!
Imsa needs to wait until the bulk of the rain has passed. So few cars in the field already, now you are wasting the money of the few teams that remain. If you had packed stands it would be different. I love Imsa.
Thanks IMSA for uploading race
Race starts 12:40
The real hero here.

Technically the 'race' starts at 5:44. The 'racing' starts at 12:40 ;-)
Many thanks for uploading the race!

Cant wait for the 25th!
Can’t wait for the 24hr
Must've been held at the Daytona International Speedway just outside of Jacksonville, FL according to the red pin.
The pin is always way wrong haha. Im pretty sure they must do it on purpose at this point.
Ha ha. I caught that too.
Looks like the pin is right between Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
Yeah, west Florida and east Florida are on different sides of town, I guess. What an idiot.
And the commentator said that Daytona is directly east of Orlando it's not. It's up the I-4 to the northeast. KSC is east of Orlando.
Thanks IMSA! 🏁 I'll never pay for that NBC Gold Track Pass garbage, but appreciate the week later upload on UA-cam.
Dear IMSA,
Jacksonville Florida is not Daytona Florida. Please fix your map pin drop at the start of the video for the next time.
The best part is the IMSA headquarters is right across the street from the track.
You'd think if the weather radar map they show later can get it right, maybe they could...
I love IMSA, thank you guys.
I can't wait to see the new C8R, pretty awesome
Did you hear about the two G.M. engineers that got caught Street Racing inntwo new Corvettes..? Yeah... it didn't go well with their boss. I'm betting they're both looking for new employment. 😒
The Corvette C8 GT comes out next month👀
thank you! Awesome series
Another great upload from IMSA .. and wonderful racing too.

Thanks for the upload very decent of you! Can’t wait till NASCAR next month!
Why only this 2020 Daytona Challenge that has over 20 cars??
Thank you IMSA! Should be a good season. Great race, beautiful cars!
Thank you so much for the upload!!! :D
who was the broadcast producer who didn't show the lead car go into the first turn at the start... or were there tech difficulties ?
IMSA could run at the Charlotte road course
Well they are now lol
Thank you IMSA!
You are Awesome ! We need this Fix !
Will a replay of Thursday's Daytona 24 qualifying be available on UA-cam? And if so, when? Thanks
"Daytonaaaaaa"
Go, Scott Tucker! I hope you win.
Awesome in the Wet!
Will the Rolex 24 be on the IMSA app?
I’m an American but Shaw and Hindaugh on here would make it way better. The American announcers keep interrupting Jeremy.
Yes, I agree! Hopefully John Hindaugh will be back for the rest of the season with Jeremy and the normal crew, at least for these uploads in UA-cam.
Absolutely! Jeremy is stats/factual commentator to John but on this broadcast he had to make up for the lead commentator's crassness. Austin didn't help either IMHO - nothing of interest, no strong opinions.
great race. wet then dry. alot of dynamics.
Will there be a free livestream on the Internet for the 24h of Daytona??🙏🏼
Yes. It'll be on TrackPass, NBC Sports App, NBCSports.com, and in car streaming on IMSA.tv/IMSA app. Hope this is helpful for you.
Roger J thank you very much!
How long before it goes on UA-cam please? I can't watch it live but keen to see it. Thank you!
Wobbly RamPack I would say 2 days, Not sure
@@GT_onboards Thanks for replying. That would be great (for comparison WEC wait about a month for full coverage of each race to appear on UA-cam which is a bit frustrating.) Looking forward to 24h Daytona! :)
Is this 2019 race? Please help because checking IMSA 2020 calendar, the first race will be on Jan 24th?
@@oscarbakerson thank you, I understand now and thanks for the channel for broadcasting :)
YES YES YES YES YES, i missed the race this year since i couldnt go
APVX if you could have gone you would not have missed it.
Thats how missing out on events work so yeah..... David Dowling
Okay I didn't know what this was now I watching the race for an hour realize it's a like track day for Rich guys.
Yeah, China is "just east" of Spain, too. Sebring must be "downtown" Orlando, then.
Thank you！ IMSA！
wish i could afford one of these cars to cruise around in on the weekends.
Oh look... it’s raining at the IMSA Challenge at Daytona... just like it does every year. I’ve found myself questioning starting the season every year at the one place in the world that is in the middle of their rainy season. 🤷🏻♂️
Oh boo hoo. Go watch F1 if you want boring bland sunny races.
Razin the Changeling EAS Scenario Creator LOL! Yeah. Good one.
I mean, it makes it more interesting, this is not NASCAR, so rain doesn´t really matter, it actually makes things better.
Rain race...
I would still be out there.
now I see the prototype cars are based off of go karts
Thanks a lot for the upload! Riveting stuff. Picked myself a good livery car at the beginning and was tense all the way through!

Is this another GM controlled racing series or do they allow other competition in it?
These are Global LMP 3 spec cars, so no GM lol. Looks like they are using Nissan VK50 (older) or VK56 (new) V8 engines in one of 4 different spec chassis.
How about the practice day for the Daytona 24?
i was at this race. It was one hell of a battle.
I was there for that race

As far as I know Hindaugh was at the 24h of Dubai, so I guess the commentator team will stay the same as last year.
What happened to Rao's car at 54:22? They didn't explain... he was out of the race shortly after.
Looked like a normal pitstop to me, what do you mean?
Have we started our 2020 season.. 😳.
Turn up the commentators please. Excellent coverage nonetheless.
I love Daytona 500 ! :-)
I love Daytona 500 ! :-)
IMSA and WEC, what more can a man ask for really?
IMSA pre season race
An established attorney...paid for a driver trainer...13 months later, he is driving a prototype.
So people who have natural skills are disqualified.
Remember when cars had sponsors?
Well this is a relatively new support series, the LMP3 cars in Europe and Asia have sponsors most of the time.
What got me was teammates wearing different race overalls. Never seen that before ever.
It would be awesome to see these cars doing a sprint race. Lol. More or less like a 100 or a 150 miles on a oval track.
IMSA おもしろい、特にイエローフラッグ後。 ルール違うんですね。
Austin McCusker sounds exactly like Landon Donovan.
I've won just about every race run at this track, on Real Racing3.
I just finished running one
24 hours lemans? We have to be careful because P=W/t is the average power.
So how much money do you need to drive these cars? I've never heard of any of these drivers. Guessing this is a rich man's Prototype Challenge?
It sounds that way. They just described one driver making his 1st appearance in Prototype class and he's only been racing for 18 MONTHS..!
Smaller teams, up and coming drivers. Some older drivers that do it for fun. It's certainly no rich guys track day though.
Depends on team and how many sponsors you have. 120,000USD to 350,000USD depending on how much you want to race and what races you want to take part in for the series.

Are these just re-bodied NASCARS? That's what I'm hearing, sadly.
They are V8 Engines.
No they are not,they are all rear engines and specifically made for this series.
These look nothing like stock cars. Looks more like a lemans prototype
This might be the most boring three hours of racing I've every seen!
So boring anymore...
The penalty for the jump start is absolute BS. If I was that driver I'd be absolutely fuming
