i have to say i enjoy the honest conversation they have during endurance races. It gives us all time to reflect on whats happened since the last one. Only in sports car racing. I ve come to love that.
@@lordracer7743 I wasn't watching racing at that point but also I meant current commentators. And I'm not sure I agree with my statement anymore anyway lol. Nichols and Franchitti are amazing. There a a lot of good commentators in racing actually. I think Brundle is awful though and I'm always happy when he's missing for the weekend.
Stunning. Another exceptional IMSA race. NBC has been doing a good job broadcasting but no one can beat Radio Le Mans team, best in the world. Thanks for the replay IMSA I appreciate being able to stream for free, unlike some other american open wheel series on NBC.
@@jonathancouch6261 I watched the St. Petersburg GP here on YT. They posted their races last year too, and the year before. Has something changed? It's just delayed, like IMSA and any other series that posts their races.
Exceptional indeed. What pissed me off is that IMSA does not live-stream to South America. The agreement with NBC blocks the streaming from IMSA website to my country (Chile).
Have you went on youtube search type in imsa watch the video and hit subscribe same for wec,24hrs le mans,blancpain gt series and european,asian le mans series if not give it a try bro
I've tried to watch F1 recently, but after getting hooked on IMSA and WEC, there's just no going back. It's a much more level playing field for privateers, yet factory teams can go nuts and throw down a few hundred million if they like in WEC's LMP1 class, and it's still an amazing race. Well, 4 amazing races. Oh, and F1 races aren't posted online.
Johnny O'Connell is absolutely hilarious. I lost track of the on track action so many times during his segment just because I was laughing so hard. Bring that guy back for as long as you can every time you can.
Can I just say, Christian Fittipaldi rocks! Looking forward to seeing PLM at Road Atlanta with my nephews 2019-10-12! Go Corvette! Go Pfaff Porsche plaid! JAN!!!!!!!
It was a great, if mostly uneventful, race. However, I feel in competitive sports nobody "deserves" to win. 67 was upset to have been leading for so long and not be in front at the end, so he made a low percentage dive. Watch the replay, at most he had a quarter panel on the Lamborghini before he hit the inside curb on the wrong side. The Lamborghini had already committed to a line, and the wrong side of the curb likely helped spin the back end of the 67 around when he tried to accelerate.
I think Bobby would mop the floor with Chip, and I think Chip knows it. One lap around Sebring, that's all. No need to drag out the humiliation, or the physical exhaustion for the old guys. Use TCR's or GT4's or something cheap in case they wreck. Loser donates something to a charity picked by the winner. I think a lot of fans would kill to see that race!
5:12:30 Why did that GTD car pull to the right like it was trying to block that prototype? He would have known it wasn't another GTD car because the headlights weren't yellow. Plus the upcoming corner was a right so he wasn't trying to set up for that turn since he was already on the perfect line for that. I thought he may have been going right , preparing to enter the pits but he didn't go to the pits either.
5:32:28 Crap! Crap! Scrapping! LMAO! 5:50:47. Agreed! Separate the classes in GT on restarts. Post race... I guess NBC Really wanted the trophy prez and Champagne spray!
At least separate the GT classes during restarts in the last 30 minutes of the race. Having to dodge around the GTD field is part of the race, and I like it, but that close to the end it feels like it just gets in the way of a meaningful finish for the faster classes, and the GTD cars get screwed because they can't race each other with all the faster traffic barreling through.
911 team - worst to first? Did they really do that? After that awful, awful start? I'm not a fan specifically of the Porsche team (I don't dislike them, gawd knows they're very good, but I love the Corvettes), but that's simply amazing. (Try that in F1 racing :P ) Even the 912 was in with a shot! I love endurance racing. Never give up!
What in the world knocked the 57 back to 8th in GTD in that last 8 minutes? Also, Andy Lally must have been seething after this race. Two stints breathing the exhaust of the 11 without finding a way past, and constantly getting shuffled apart by the DPi and GTLM cars overtaking them... A 2nd is still a great result but the champagne always tastes better on the top step... Great racing as always. The new golden age of North American sports car racing continues.
This is the first IMSA race I watch and it might be the last. It could have been really interesting if the camera crew weren't so bad at showing us the action. GTD was a constant battle for the lead, with the leader changing every couple of laps, but all we got to see instead were totally uneventful pit stops and the same 3 Cadillac DPi's driving around alone or doing some overtakes. What is this, a race or a 12 hour long Cadillac ad?
that's an FIA WEC race, IMSA would not upload it and I don't think FIAWEC uploads races. They have an app too where you can buy a season pass. However, last time I did that it ended up georestricted and I was out the money.
@@nocode6869 The 2019 Spa race was uploaded. Their channel happens to be named FIAWEC. Besides, I was asking about spoilers. Something like "So and so came in X position." As is, I'm waiting to watch the IMSA race until FIAWEC uploads their race. Now if someone can assure me there are no spoilers in the IMSA upload...
The 96 GTD BMW was running so many laps down, going so slow with mechanical problems and getting in the way. He should have parked it long before it finally crapped out 5:39:00.

For sure WEC will not be as generous to the fans as IMSA. This free, no commercial upload of Sebring from IMSA is amazing. It makes me want to go see a race in person if i ever have the money. I cant imagine LeMan being gifted to us like this.
@@jonathancouch6261 I don't know what you guys are talking about. The WEC Sebring 1000 is posted here too, along with all the other WEC races for the past two years at least, including Le Mans 2017 & 2018. I've watched them all on You Tube. They are posted by FIAWEC. Go to their channel and you'll see everything is there. @Willy Jimmy - don't kid yourself. This is not commercial-free. How long did Johnny O. talk to us about how awesome Cadillacs are? He is their paid spokesman. How many times did you hear tires referred to as Michelins instead of tires? That's all paid for. Think of all the branding around the track and on the cars. We accept that because it makes motorsports viable. I accept it. It's a fair deal. Sponsors are necessary, but we consumers need to be aware of when we are being sold something. And whenever a rep from Michelin or some other sponsor "drops by" for a chat, that is a commercial interruption of the commentary, and a long one at that. I don't think WEC races have those kinds of interruptions. Like every driver says during every interview at least once, it is what it is.
@@SCAJolly I actually did mute him during this race. I know it's his job, and I'm sure Cadillac pays Hindy for it too (as owner of RLM/IMSA Radio), but I don't like listening to infomercials for any brand. Unfortunately at Daytona - wasn't that the race where Hindy kept him in the booth for like 2 hours? Every word sounds like a sales pitch, even when he's not pitching. Give him a dealership and send him on his way :P
@@beenaplumber8379 Yeah it was pretty shameless, I gawked at him saying "educating people" when he was talking about going to porsche owner races and then styling on them as a superior driver alone. That being said, I thought Jonny was sufficient as a commentator and you cannot have spectacles like this one without the ads.
@@aiGeis VERY true. I totally accept sponsorship. Without it, racing is not financially viable. I just resent it when they present it as something else. I'll happily sit through a Cadillac commercial. It's this sneakiness that bothers me, and I wonder if the average consumer today even recognizes it? Jonny would be a great commentator without all the promotional bias. When he gets excited, he's fun to listen to, and he speaks very clearly. He has a better voice than Paul Tracy, though maybe not as good as Townsend Bell, but all three of them are great storytellers. I like that in a commentator. If they need to fill time during a rain delay, those stories can be fun.
IMSA is great, but please loudmouth John Hindhaugh retire as soon as possible.. You are extremely anoying with your narcissistic personality disorder!!
Well for me there was enough happening. Not sure what people want to see in an endurance race where you mostly can't expect action every minute. It's long-term excitement over strategy and so on that is the thing.
Keiran George The problem isn’t the racing itself but the the tv directors and cameras missing on action and overtaking and lack of replays. They’ll go back and forth between certain battles happening or showing the leader in a class but they miss a change for position between one battle when they were just showing that particular battle a few moments before but missed the overtake. I that’s always been the issue when watching IMSA over the years.
As with 2018 Le Mans and 2019 Daytona - I can't listen to the commentators ANYMORE! Could you guys SHUT UP for a lap or two so we can listen to the cars?! I think we can catch up with what is going on...
@@WELLRESPECTEDAPE You found Mr. Hindaugh's voice "annoying"? As a South American race fan, I think that Mr. Hindaugh's comments an spectacle for itself, pretty worthy to hear.

Could do with someone on volume control. John was rather quiet for a good portion, then Johnny O comes in and blasts your ears off. Yikes.
Could have lived with out the hours long Cadillac ad. Tell me about the race, not about the car you get paid to drive.
IMSA needs to relook the restarts and segregate all of the classes. Good run for Porsche but Ford got screwed.
HOW did ford get screwed?
rahkin rah the restart had the fords behind the GTD vehicles and that allowed the Porsche to get a gap between the Porsche and the Ford.
