Relive all the action from the Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, the final race of the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.
KEEP JOHN, JEREMY AND SHEA!! Won't be the same without them. Could hear it in John's voice. That wasn't a season end, "see ya next year" sign off. That was a permanent goodbye. 😢😢
These broadcasts are taken directly from IMSA Radio and IMSA Official live streams. They're not the TV Network broadcasts. So they won't (SHOULDN'T) have commercials. You might have periods of no commentary, but the cameras are always on.
I remember watching a petit Le Mans years ago on British TV. They had the American tv coverage but every time it went to commercials (which was a lot) two old British blokes would come on and talk till the American commentators came back. It as funny because there was a crash in the commercials and the British guys were like "Oh dear, looks like someone has gone off. Quite a nasty shunt there" Then the Americans came back with "WHILE YOU WERE GONE WE HAD A HUGE ACCIDENT!"
Great racing all year. Sad I will have to wait till next year. And thank you for putting this races up for free. The commentary team is why I watch they do such an amazing job, and not having commercials is nice too
i will be v v sad if no more Hindy or the entire Radio Le Mans crew. They are such a great broadcast team with Jeremy and Shea with him, and this IMSA season has been fantastic from start to finish. What an ending, all race long i had a feeling we were in for 1 final championship defining moment and we got it
Observations of 2023 1. GTP proved it was the top class with the amount of competition. Down to the wire final moments to decide the championship. Looking forward to the years to come with other manufactures. 2. Cadillac made an impact. Winning the inaugural GTP championship. Also in FIA WEC 3rd in Hypercar at the 24hrs of Le mans. 3. Ben Keating "The Gentlemen Driver" "The Super Bronze" won again another LMP2 title. Also the final FIA WEC GTEam class title for Corvette Racing. 4. The Real Winner(s) of the year....Rexy and Roxy. T-rex Porsches won everyone's hearts.
thanks once again imsa admins for the great job you do uploading content and allowing me to relive these wonderful races what a season roll on daytona.
thx IMSA for a top season of racing. congrats to all the winners. thx to the commentors n marshals for their efforts this season. 2024 is going to be of the charts.
So the book is closed on another great season of IMSA Racing. Cannot wait for the Daytona 24 so we can see the new GT3 Vettes in action! Thanks for all the uploads through the year once again!
So that seemed like the perfect ending to the race given the earlier parts. Huge thank you to IMSA for putting on some of the best (maybe these 10 hours can be left out) racing out there in 2023. Also hope to hear John, Jeremy, Shea and Nick next year as they make the racing better in a way that few commentary teams have managed! Thanks so much for the enthusiasm and professionalism. :)
I can't begin to imagine IMSA without RLM. The best commentary team in motorsport and it's not even close. To not bring them back in favor of leveraging the insufferable NBC coverage would be one a hell of a mistake.
I really hope one day IMSA will have separate FCY and SC procedures. Not every incident needs a SC, period. Really ruins the enduring part of endurance racing. Joe Bradley really nailed it by saying "9.5hrs of qualy, and a half hour sprint." What's the point of building a gap as a class leader if you'll just get penalized and the gap taken away with a SC. IMSA really needs a FCY procedure in which the field is neutralized on pit limiters without deploying the SC.
I'm worried about the influence of Michelin. Multiple tyre specs just breeds confusion. I don't want endless new lap records, I want great racing. I'm not an idiot but Indycar is now too confusing to follow. Leave it alone!
#31 car- Derani deserved at least a drive thru penalty after ruining #10 race, not only that also making sure that he took out the one that was going to win the championship pretty much. That was poor racing !
I mean, to be fair to Derani, they were both at the absolute limits of the cars coming into turn 1. I don't really think Derani had any traction left in that Cadillac to turn in harder to give Albuquerque more room. It looked like he had just a bit of understeer that pulled him wide into the side of the Acura. That's just how racing goes sometimes. Especially near the end and pushing the cars that hard
Derani has SO many questionable actions throughout the entire season, it makes me wonder how he is still behind a wheel. So unprofessionalism and the "strange" thing is that all those questionable maneuvers are always for position near the end of the race.
honestly, while i can see the interpretation of many that the incident can be marked as a deliberate push, i can also see that it was just racing incident and that if the roles were reversed, the same thing would've played out. this is one of those moments where there may not be a clear right or wrong
Let's hope that this event can show the green flag and checkard flag coverages next year because we didn't see much because of other events was going on because of stupid futbol events at the time come on NBC no futbol events just racing events as long as the same day as Xfinity Series Playoffs races it's ok for the split times as long if it's not delayed. Thank you and have a great holidays. See you on t.v. in Daytona 24 in 24.😢😮😊
Not sure if it was intentional, but he technically didn't leave the space, whether he saw him or not. Also very risky by the #10, doesn't change how the rules should be applied though... Either way, championship did not end with that crash as commentator was screaming - #31 still had to finish 7th or higher I believe...
@@GamezGuru1 The provoked crash wasn't intentional but the block out of time surely was!! Derani just wanted to block the pass but he should have done it way way earlier, not when the #10 is side but side or even a little in front. You believe a driver on a class that's all the time overtaking traffic with different lines couldn't close 1m of that trajectory? Through the race in many occasions cars side by side on this corner so the "just one line on that corner" is nonsense. I don't think "risky" is a good word, in close racing 50% or more of the times are risky overtakes and that's how are made great overtakes and pilots...
4:08:40 shocking commentary - championship was NOT over when the #10 crashed out! The #31 still had to finish 7th or higher, or #25 BMW a lot higher than that.
It's unbelievable how some people think that no call for that move and even saying no penalty needed. #10 was alongside and a little ahead as well. # 31 knew he was about to lose his position and started pushing him wide and there was a slight touch so #10 went out of track. That's Not Racing at all !!
On the whole I am less than impressed, The driving standards are appalling, Obviously the penalties affect the whole team whereas we are it is the drivers choice so it is them that should get the penalties by endorsements on their licences. Of course pit box mistakes are team penalties but just words from the top are definitely not enough. The commentary team need to have somebody watching the screen, they miss so many things that are obvious to those watching. Do the job correctly or step aside. None of it is acceptable to real race fans.
And sorry about that finish under caution again please lower the car count that track is not Le Mans or Nurbergring it's just a track in America 10 hours of Prototypes next year a GT3 10 hours the next week at the time. Traffic accidents are too much for the entire event to have caution after caution again and again and again and again until there no green flag racing at the time. Fans came for racing not safety cars.😢😢😢😢😢. No offense if I offended others.😊😊
I really love IMSA racing - both WeatherTech and Michelin Pilot (even more so), but I don't love this race - I don't even like it. Between the "super-sized" field; the (IMO, far too-)short circuit, for such a large number of cars (running at significant speed variances, no less); the length of the race, combined with little track lighting, for the end - it's just "too much". The resulting chaos shouldn't surprise anyone - the congestion makes it the "L.A. freeway at 5PM" of road racing. It is, in my opinion, a lousy way to end a season (and a marque I really dislike taking the top-level checkers this year made it worse: at least it wasn't the one of the two I dislike even more than the winner). MRRA is suited to daylight races of 4 hours, or less - and with much smaller (or category-split) fields in them.
I couldn't stand listening to the drivers complain about other drivers and "driving standards". No one here is a saint, incidents happen, get over it. I understand it's frustrating, but I'd be willing to bet everyone in the field has caused an accident sometime in their careers.
IMSA!! You absolutely must keep RLM on! John, Jeremy, Shea and team are the PERSONIFICATION of IMSA, without them IMSA just wouldn’t be the same!
Absolutely!!!!!
Dont forget Joe and Nick!
If it isnt them 3 I dont watch the race!
Hindhough for president!
This!
KEEP RADIOLEMANS
KEEP JOHN, JEREMY AND SHEA!!
Won't be the same without them. Could hear it in John's voice. That wasn't a season end, "see ya next year" sign off. That was a permanent goodbye. 😢😢
For the love of God, please keep the races without commercials
Maybe we skip some of the FCYs also.

GREAT RACE and 2023 SEASON, thanks to ALL involved
Thanks for posting. This was another great season. What a crazy race this was.
Very sensible IMSA, keeping the stream to a NASCAR 720 saving everyone data. Thank you.
i hope next year the car in first place in every class has a lap count displayed instead of a blank. that would be very cool imsa
You can always utilize imsa.com/scoring to view the live lap count on the live leaderboard. It's a great second-hand experience. Thanks!
@@imsaofficial that’s makes sense why it’s not on screen then. It would be useful for these uploads.
Congratulation Cadillac for winning the championship manufactory that's something to be proud of cuz I love you
16:45 Noooooo Corvette
The announcer , I will only watch a race where he "runs" the show.
IMSA you are the best
IMSA part 2, our second date💖
Unfortunately really poor driving standards.
Watching this actual Motorsport in protest of F1 Las Vegas tomorrow
01:23:00 great camerawork during that Acura pit stop!
Get better Shea!
Riccola!
Great to see Jenson Button enjoying this. 👍
IMSA.. Just to let you know.. UA-cam is being greedy again.. There are advertisements every 5 minutes on this part 2..
I can't begin to imagine IMSA without RLM. The best commentary team in motorsport and it's not even close. To not bring them back in favor of leveraging the insufferable NBC coverage would be one a hell of a mistake.
One piece of advice regarding the #66. DO NOT PISS OFF THE CAT (KATHERINE LEGGE)
Oh no here come the TEMU ads! What's going on we got advertising on all this now?
What position did the safety car finish.? 😂
Too bad for the Vette, hopefully the new cars will be great.

I just be patient and wait for the races to be posted by IMSA Official and watch them at my own leisure. I do not care for NBCs coverage either.
If the rsl team are not covering isma from next season it would be absolutely criminal and a worthy reason to stop watching isma
Please STOP excusing people for their language!
I believe they have to or they get fined by the FCC or whatever other regulatory commission they fall under
4:08:33>>>>> use this comment as a Dislike button for Derani's move
Not sure if it was intentional, but he technically didn't leave the space, whether he saw him or not.
Also very risky by the #10, doesn't change how the rules should be applied though...

The #31 still had to finish 7th or higher, or #25 BMW a lot higher than that.
IMSA management/race control made a joke of the first and last races of the season. Not a good way to build a fan base when cheating is tolerated.
Derani needs to be penalized badly. He did not leave racing room for the Acura ushering him off. BLACK FLAG IN MY OPINION FOR THE 31.
That's right, he should have closed the space earlier, not when his opponent was right next to him.
It's unbelievable how some people think that no call for that move and even saying no penalty needed. #10 was alongside and a little ahead as well. # 31 knew he was about to lose his position and started pushing him wide and there was a slight touch so #10 went out of track.

The amount of mistakes Hindaugh ist doing is unreal
Id immediately disqualify Derani for that, disgusting!
