thank you for posting full races online - it is the only way you can reach people like me who have walked away from paying cable and dish companies for their "bundles" TV is dead, it's just that most of your TV audience hasn't realized that yet.
I did the same as you ten years ago! Now ten years later the world finally understands how important it is to stream races live! IMSA and the WEC do it with every race which is amazing! Now just NASCAR and INDYCAR have to understand this. Their races are uploaded the next day on UA-cam anyway! Better upload it themselves and earn that ad revenue.
The Ferrari 458 did won the Spa 6h in the WEC, and won the last three rounds of the ELMS in GTE. The Alex Job/Team West Ferrari car actually got pole at Road America, but failed stall test. So it depends really.
Great race from the Delta Wing Team, really thought for a moment they could challenge for the overall win and i'm of course really happy for SRT's first GT win in the ALMS since Adelaide 2000/2001. Great race, but it has to be 4h race again next year in the USCR.
It's a lot faster to just have jacks built in than to lift the car with normal jacks, considering these cars are much heavier than Formula cars and the pitstops are already going to be a lot longer.
What is the point of a 2h45m race, if it all just comes down to a crap shoot? It's a timed race for a reason. It comes down to lasting the time, green or caution.
I think the series handicaps the cars in different ways so that there is close racing. Like giving one car a smaller gas tank because it's gas mileage gives it an advantage or restricting horsepower in another or adding weight. Maybe they've overly nerfed the Ferrari. Or it could just be a generally slower car or bad drivers. I wonder what it would be like if all of the cars were closer to stock and didn't have weight adjustments and other restrictions.
Great race. Congrats to SRT! Sad to see the coming end of the P1 era in the US though. Just wish we had more competition in P1. It might have made it more difficult for Nascar to get rid of P1 for 2014. I still don't know how this new series will work. Especially since the Daytona spec prototypes want to be the top racing level in the series. Guess they will have to slow the P2 cars up then to make that happen. So much for 24 hrs of Lemans then I guess. And what of the delta wing for 2014? Sad!
Does IMSA have a similar youtube site or will be having a similar youtube site to this? That was one of the things I will miss about the ALMSOfficialVideos site.
They have said they will upload all the races to UA-cam and the imsa.com site. Sounds good to me :) Although the lack of streaming and RLM is a HUGE backwards step.
What happened to Chris Dyson and Guy Smith? When they drove, he could give Muscle Milk a run for its money. Instead, they give it McMurry and Burgess who in my honest opinion don't stack against Luhr/Graf.
Why do they allow races to finish under yellow these days? That should be number one on the list of modifications for next years merger. Its not fair to the fans who pay big money to attend these races. Guaranteed that will increase the fan base knowing a green flag finish is inevitable. Also the venues will make more money due to the fans staying to the last second. Those 15 minute caution periods need to be dealt with too. My two points go hand-in-hand. Thank you United.
cubanob247 it is a timed race, if a yellow is out when the time is up then the race is over and that is a better solution than adding 15 minutes to the race(it wouldn't be the 12 hours of Sebring, for example, if it lasted 12 hours 18 minutes) to finish under a lap or two of green. It also ruins several strategies and could turn races into fuel lotteries.
man did the vipers had the speed over the vettes in this race or what ! how many times did the viper pass the vettes in this race damn SRT is here Vette domination of the ALMS is over
Wait, the ALMS and that other one I can't think of the name of are merging? Cool. They're dropping P1? Not cool. I don't suppose they've released a schedule yet.
The live coverage for this race was 70% ads 10% rushed commentary and 20% words from your local ABC station. This was completely pitiful, the whole point of being in the national network is to GAIN fans NOT lose them.
I would like to second Marcus' question. I have been missing John Hindhaugh since the beginning of the year. He can usually be heard during qualifiying, but not during any of the ALMS races this year so far on ESPN3. Very, very disappointing! Please, ALMS, bring back John Hindhaugh as a main commentator!

John Hindhaugh commentates on our network broadcasts for each race. So, for the Road America broadcast, he was commentating on ABC.
The Ferrari 458 did won the Spa 6h in the WEC, and won the last three rounds of the ELMS in GTE. The Alex Job/Team West Ferrari car actually got pole at Road America, but failed stall test. So it depends really.

The Deltawing has finally got its wings! Look at it go like the proverbial rocket!

straight line speed is killing them. The 458 alex job west was actually on the pole but failed the stall test.
Love this race and alms
It's due bad internet connection, refresh the page.
ALMS on UA-cam...Hard to ask for more...Thanks for the upload!!!!

Dethmeister the series do have BoP
Why doesn't Hindaugh commentate anymore? His enthusiasm for motorsports is second to none, and commentating is awesome.

finally Deltawing have its own pace
Thanks guys. Changing it to 720 worked. Cheers.
is the deltawing even the same class as the p1s? the underfloor does not look like it is as restricted as the p1 rules say.
Damn I wish we got this series in Australia at a reasonable hour. Absolutely LOVE these cars!
make this 4 hours again next year, it is an endurance series after all.
Awesome!
The Ferrari's are arguably the best driving cars in the field, they've just had lots if bad luck.
Can someone explain the point system to me? I really want to learn how that point system works.
2KUSH11 it was 20-17-15-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 with additional points in the longer races
Does IMSA have a similar youtube site or will be having a similar youtube site to this? That was one of the things I will miss about the ALMSOfficialVideos site.
They have said they will upload all the races to UA-cam and the imsa.com site. Sounds good to me :)
Although the lack of streaming and RLM is a HUGE backwards step.
personalmente estoy muy contento de vovler a ver al viper ganar carreras :-)
Why are cautions sooo long!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19 minutes under yellow to simply move a car. R U F'n kidding me?? That is absolutely laughable.
VIPER BABY!!! Yeah
This is one of my favorite tracks; 1. Road America 2. Monza 3, Enna Pergusa 4. Imola 5. Spa 6. Zolder 7. Either Targa Florio or Laguna Seca.
awesome cast same usual bro thank for this ;)!!!
I hope these uploads will continue in the new series!
Viper FTW
I saw it happen also I called it Viper for the win!!
they are spot on for another close race finish

Sweet I found my buddies and I in this Broadcast!!
Yes, it is in the same class. There is a spot reserved for 'experimental cars'. Clearly that covers the D-Wing, lol
convience, speed, speed, speed, tenths of a second matters in pit stops
So my initial assumption of Andrew Marriott was incorrect. Around 34:13 he is addressed as Jeremy. My guess now is that is Jeremy Shaw.
its also great to see the Viper winning at last
The new corvette (pace car) has copied the srt viper
What engine is in the delta wing now?
Sam K Elan
The green flag drops at 20:20 min
Got lucky. The 91 may have had to stop for fuel.
dum how the race end should had a over time
what the hell happened to rebellion? weren't they supposed to be at this race?
kshaffer82 they pulled out of most of their Motorsport programmes to develop their 2014 LMP1 car
The viper got very lucky, but racing is a good portion luck. Congrats to srt.
maybe but thats the only thing good about Nascar...
man did the vipers had the speed over the vettes in this race or what ! how many times did the viper pass the vettes in this race damn SRT is here Vette domination of the ALMS is over
Wait, the ALMS and that other one I can't think of the name of are merging? Cool. They're dropping P1? Not cool. I don't suppose they've released a schedule yet.
ColeYote they merged with Grand-Am SportsCar Series
Hey the delta wing finally finished a race
ALMS is the shizznic.....
Agreed.
2:16:46 Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!11111111
Half way through the race all I hear about is the damn Delta Wing.
The live coverage for this race was 70% ads 10% rushed commentary and 20% words from your local ABC station.
This was completely pitiful, the whole point of being in the national network is to GAIN fans NOT lose them.
Is anyone else having trouble playing this? The video goes right to 0:00.
Corvette will have a new car next year...so we shall see ;)
VIPER VIPER VIPER VIPER VIPER!!!!!!!!

dinop1985 this is because he covered it for RLM, and ESPN had their own team for the races.
Green-white-checkered in other hand is the most stupid thing that have ever introduced to motorsport
