Relive all the action from The Rolex 24 At Daytona, the first race of the 2021 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season and Round 1 of the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup.
Last year right before covid was my 1st it was fkin amazing. We were one round off the ferris wheel with the fireworks at 10 but we still got on tv rutledge was in the car behind us doing a segment. Cooler dude in person than on tv
Been waiting eagerly for this. Thanks IMSA, lots of other racing series should learn a lesson from your approach to your fans. ( Yes WRC, I'm talking about you)
2nd time going to this race & 2nd year in a row, Last year i went back & fourth to the hotel this year i stayed the full 24hrs and stayed awake, this year was a trip but i was finally able to accomplish this challenge without sleep! Can't wait for next year! Going to Sebring since it's only a 8 mile drive for me! Watching this for the first time thanks for uploading this! 💚
@@billyfitzgerald834 I had no issues with going from the infield at 2am to the Grandstands and to IHOP across the street. I had the same worries too when I first went in 2020
@@zdoginterprise I live in Virginia so its a hike for me but i was down there this summer and did a tour of the track. It was a a really cool experience. Id love to catch the 500 and this race.
I am so glad they uploaded this. It is the only way I am able to enjoy the season for the past 3 years because of my work. thank you to all involved with this channel, it is very appreciated 😄
Man I agree! Too many commercials! One thing that's bugging me is how do you watch the IMSA live stream instead of NBC's coverage? I love John Hindaugh's commentary!
I always boot up Gran Turismo whenever there’s a 24 hr race to see how long I can last driving while the race is on. I’ve done all 24 hours once. I’ve not lasted even 16 since. I must’ve killed a ton of my life force when I did that......
what a light weight ...ive played Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for more than 24 hours many many times online killing everybody over and over ...hacked guns with no recoil yaw pitch or roll firing 30,000 rounds per minute dead on target looking like a big laser weapon with damage turned up from 100 max to 90,000 knocking avatars clear off the map as no one ever had a chance ! then I found the movement speed listed on every gun like a AK-47 was 1.0 .guess what happens when you change that number to 5 ? you can run 5 times faster than anyone else in the game so fast you dont even appear on their monitors until you stop ...like dirrectly in front of ssomeone and fire your dead hehehe
I finally found the racing series that I always wanted to watch. Never knew where the race-car corvettes came from. The GT classes is what nascar should be with American cars.
IMSA is truly for the people. Giving prospective fans an opportunity to fully experience this race is so cool of you guys. I’ll be attending the next one!
I always look forward to this race every year it kicks off the American racing season and just 2nd after the 24 hours of Dubai, racing is officially underway
In my opinion John Hindhaugh is one of the best commentator who still commentating now, I think if this guy goes to commentator in F1, MotoGP, NASCAR, IndyCar and many others this guy get note 10, is absolute amazing, + Jeremy Shaw are the best combo 1-2 for commentating, also others IMSA commentators are incrdible, congrats🎉🎊👏!
If he's the main mouth, then I hope he goes, anywhere I don't have to listen to him. I was so hoping not to hear his terrible commentating again. He starts off, as usual, showing his prowess by proving he can't tell a Porche from a Ferrari, there, fanboy.
@@46wireboy To be fair that happens to all of them and us. To some extent I agree with your comment but there are far worse...... Mark Cole for instance, who is the Dr Hibbert of motor sport commentary, laughing at the most inappropriate and annoying time possible! PS. I remember Mark Cole writing a letter to Autosport in the mid seventies complaining about RAYMOND BAXTER!!!
I took a break from racing during 2020 because I was so occupied with school and COVID stuff. Then I got hired earlier this year and needed to adjust to that. Now I can watch these amazing races thanks to IMSA uploading them free of charge here. Thank you so much! :D
The BMW that was behind the Porsche got on the throttle a tad early, causing it to hit the Porsche and make it spin. Now I understand it. Also. Props to y'all, IMSA. Good job uploading these for those who can't watch it on TV. Cheers, lads.
sorry for the delay, but thanks to IMSA and everyone who makes the races happen, for giving us all a awesome, positive so sports event during these trying times.
Just now getting into motorsport, this channel is a great resource. Been a PC gamer for a long time and I'm now dead set on building a simulator rig with force feedback. Thanks IMSA!!
As For Being A Proud Cadillac Fan & Owner Of A CTS Myself ... It Makes Me Proud Seeing A Cadillac DP Coming To The Finish Line P1 And Getting That Checkered Flag And 🏆 & 💰
I echo what John said salute to the pit crews the MARSHALLS they really are the unsung heroes and it's obvious why I think they should all get some little reward honestly anyways big hats off to them thanks guys 👍🏽🙏🏽❤
Nothing like adrenaline going through your veins, a mindset for fast car's in the past.😮 You should come to Grand Prix in Melbourne Victoria March each year. Great race .
@@taven2164 Look at the back of the Porsche after the replay. It's broken. So, Maybe somebody at the back of the Porsche is the car who make this collision.
I always think daytona its easy lol. Been watching the rolex 20+ years. Its all about patience. I made my first year as a spectator in 2020 and i didnt make it to the end lol. Cuz i didnt pace myself lol. A test of endurance for cars, drivers, teams, AND FANS 😁 was dead for a week but id do it again in a heartbeat
I appreciate the switch away from showing the classes on the scrolling ribbon at the botton; that information was redundant due to the color-coded number panels. However, I still think there's room for improvement. With multi-class racing, it only takes a few laps for every car outside the DPi class to be listed in terms of laps down, which make that information less useful for keeping track of the battles. It would be better to list each car's gap to its respective class leader or simply show the intervals between every car.
I don't know what was in BMW driver mind ? Even if you had a good start, but you know that you still can't overtaking before the start/finish line That's one was a bloody nasty drive
Who else woke up to this playing 😅
Same
Yep lmaooo 🎉😊

Yep
I woke up to part two that was already an hour and watched another hour now I am coming to this
The first time I was at a rolex in person, and i made it all 24 hours. Fantastic race!
@@diethersantos6404 nope, stayed up for the whole race and slept for 13 hours after lol

I love that I can watch the second greatest motorsport event on the planet on UA-cam after less than a week. Thanks IMSA!
The night racing is what got me into endurance racing and my favorite part by far is watching the break discs glowing red hot under heavy breaking.

Had a great time at my first Rolex 24 this year. I can only imagine how much more fun it will be next year with garage passes!

Shea Adam's key of the race of reading the rule book is spot on
His comment about racing in the night made me think about night stages in stage rally racing with all the antilag and glowing exhaust and brakes.
Great race really enjoyed watching this live. Thanks for uploading.
