@@oldfrendYou know what's worse? The GR Supra Racing Concept is a GTE car, but Toyota has never raced it. It saddens me to see this fantastic class with very few manufacturers.

1:45:46 listen to that, man the new Corvette C8 is just such a marvelous machine. quite a different sound spectacle from the deep bass rumble of its predecessors with the all new architecture but every bit as thunderous , mind blowing and unique. high revving large bore flat plane crank n/a V8. the Americans really have stepped up yet again and made an unbelievable major leap with the all new platform. they are schooling the germans and italians, and I admit and say so being a german myself ! great and exciting racing, really spectacular !

Back again... Dream Team... Thank you, Thank you IMSA sooo much for these videos and the dream team of commentary 😁👍 🏁🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🚗🚗🚗 John Hindhaugh and Shea Adam perfection
The picture with the 992/911 ahead of both C8R Corvettes is a rare shot due the Corvette dominance in the Sebring Grand Prix Race, one C8R set a track record for GTLM at Sebring!
People forget how dominant the C5.R and C6.R were in this series and the battles with the Flying Lizard Porsche. C7.R was a wash and still managed a manufacture championship.
Nick Tandy gave this race its only thumbs down....smh.... On Porsche.com it said that Tandy "suddenly had to dodge two Corvette's" and couldn't avoid contact. Some fake news over there on Porsche.com. Corvettes were in the lane, Porsches weren't and didn't exit cleanly...only thing they couldn't dodge was their own bad decision making. You know how Team Porsche operates when their own media dept does some CNN spin on the facts. On another note, thank you IMSA for making a great series post merger. It was a good run...hopefully this series holds together. GTLM seems like it's headed to a repeat of 2004 GTS in ALMS or so...I sure hope not.
Those Corvettes are amazing be smashed the competition they were even keeping up with the DPI drivers prototypes that's nuts how fast the new Corvettes are
@Gregory Tolson.....That Lambo is powered by 2 Audi 5-cylinders in a V configuration, same as the R-8; pull-up a video of the Audi Quattro rally cars and note the similarity in the sound
@Searb reath i think they're running fast as they NEED to right now while those 911s are cranked UP!!! Dodge learned THEIR lesson, Porsche is next... ROFL =)
@@drbendover7467 Can't really blame you, I love IMSA but really miss Ganassi and the Ford GTs. :( And will miss Penske and the Acura prototypes next season...
@@CraterLakey You and me both! Had the privilege of listening to them at the 2018 and 19 petite le mans at road atlanta...a sight and sound to behold my friend! What tracks did you hear them at?
@@CraterLakey Omggg super jealous!!! Yeeeep same here. Had my noise canceling headphones in with live commentary, but STILL couldn't squat when they blew by...and those old c7 Corvette rumble was insanity as well sir! Definitely wanna follow an imsa racing season across the states one day for sure!
I love when I turn on captions because the engines are too loud occasionally over the commentators, the caption says "music." Couldn't have said it better myself xD
@@markholroyde9412 or at least be at a steady level and brain can just ignore the drone - but their constantly changing volume makes that so much harder!

BSB, The TT and the Ring are the only real Motorsports worth watching if you want real action and danger, everything else is watered down IMO, glad I lived the glory years and still drive a car with a real gear lever and a third pedal,.
Are the C8 Corvette teams using a flat plane v8 this year? Sounds like it might even be there dohc flat plane v8 that GM applied for a patent for several years ago.. They sound very smooth and higher pitched tone then gm's usual ohv ls/lt based engine..
@@augustmakesthings Ah ok, thank you! Based on the in car audio, they dont have the typical thunderous sound of a cross plane crank and sound much more refined..I hope GM decides to continue to offer their ohv engines with an option for this new dohc engine as well. How exciting!
Does it add costs to have a stream option with only track sounds? Series with different engines are perfect for that. WEC does (or used to) in their app and it's amazing, especially for non english speakers.
Yes, it does, because, by virtue of having "no blocks, no breaks," the only way IMSA Radio can make money is through sponsorships and promotions, which require the commentators to read them.
Good video put a little late 07/18/20 here are the winners at the 2020 Cadillac Grand Prix at Sebring in four race classes DPI: (1) Nasr (RT): Cadillac DPi LMP2 (1) Menzes (RT): Rebellion Racing GTLM (1) Milner (RT): Corvette Racing GTD (1) Hawksworth (RT): Vasser Sullivan Team.
Oh my god, I'm watching this now with a little less than 2 hours left. The porches are blowing this on a level that's hard for me to even comprehend. They took the early class lead, lost it in the pits, hit each other, the 912 came back into the pits for repairs, it then got penalized. Now the 911 goes off the track, what is happening?
I really miss the Dorsey Schroeder /Justin Bell commentary team. John Hinghaugh just LOVES to hear his own voice. It's also a super annoying when you see a spin/crash/incident on track and he is oblivious to it because his face is buried in the stats and who knows what... Like, watch the race first! When there's a yellow you can fill us in on your little nuggets of info. It's also nice listening to people who have actually raced in the series they're commentating.
A 5.5L quad cam engine is going to be much heavier and externally larger than the 6.2L pushrod engine. 500 hp would be easy from either. I wonder why GM ditched the lighter, more compact design.
The IRacing programmers need to watch these races and realize that the BMW's should not be as overpowered as they are, and instead, it should be the Porsches and Corvettes
Thank you IMSA ! The best racing in the USA! You have put a spark back into my life!
Yes sir Sebring hands done one of the best tracks ever made. One of my best track days ever have been at Sebring
Even without the plastic palm trees at turn 10? I actually missed them.
Thank you for sharing with race fans IMSA. GT class is the best racing anywhere. Fantastic 1-2 win Corvette Racing.
So happy to have racing back! Great race! Big props to everyone involved we appreciate your efforts.
Please give a raise to the sound guys, amazing quality.
The IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge race broadcast is scheduled to be released to UA-cam on 8/3. Thank you for your patience.
Good to hear. What about the Prototype Challenge race that took place a few hours before this one?
We can wait, IMSA; just thanks so much for posting these when you do!!!
Scheduled for August 1.
IMSA Official
Cool, thanks for the quick response!
Thank you in Advance. Keep up the great work.
Corvette VS Corvette
Great Racing!!!! :)
Best racing in the world, especially in the GT classes
As a Chevy fan it's good to see the C8.Rs doing well. It's just sad that our main competitor isn't going to be competing in GTLM next year
Spar 24 hour I think is

great event fantastic commentators a wonderful rave well done IMSA and everyone involved especially the volunteers.
The C8-R is no joke.. can't wait to see what the street version Z06 is going to be capable of
Imagine the c8 getting out of the race and than starts taking off it's decals and announces it's release or something.
That says alot being up front with a brand new platform.
they've never been a joke.
I just wonder if the Z06 or ZR1 will end up having a flat plane v8. It would be really interesting to see an American exotic like that.
@@JohnSmith-uy2jg they didn’t go broke making the EV1 in the 90’s so why would making EV now cause it.
So glad imsa is back on..the best commentators bar non. Corvette getting 1st and 2nd..woooo and what a car. Regards from England.
C8 Vette total domination. Great race!! You got to love GT racing.
GTLM, I love you. Dear automakers, come to GTLM, it's fun

Congrats to Corvette Racing for an outstanding performance.
IMSA, it would be nice to see more than six cars in GTLM.
The Porsches finally got tired of wrecking everybody else, so they decided to wreck each other.
...but they have such wonderful brakes, if the driver knows how to use them that is... ROFL
