How on Earth do I watch an IMSA race?

How do you do it? It comes up every race - let's help other 10-10thers out.

I'll go:

IMSA TV / Radio Le Mans
  • Location: Global, but only markets that don't have exclusive TV (e.g. not USA). Good examples are Italy and France.
  • Live
  • Quality is good.
  • No adverts
  • Commentators: John Hindhaugh, Jeremy Shaw and Shea Adams.
  • oh and whoever they have on for a massive interview when something important is happening
  • links:
    https://www.imsa.com/tvlive/ - also shows the support races
    mirrored on http://www.radiolemans.co/ (possibly this link: http://imsaradio.com/index.php/live-video/)
  • Replay put up on youtube - normally a few says later

NBC/Peacock
  • Live: Peacock shows the entire race, NBC often only partially depending what else is being shown (not too sure how much and on what channels they show0
  • Replay: Peacock show it. Posted relatively quickly. Not sure how quick, but last night's Long Beach race was ready the following morning - I guess it was quicker than this - they normally take an hour or two with their rugby coverage.
  • Commentary: Yes, although expect special features on Jimmie Johnson skiing ten minutes into the race when things are happening.
  • Commercials: Very much yes.
  • Overall it will make you throw your model Porsche 917 into the TV. Try everything you can to not watch it this way.

Anything to add or correct?

If you'd like the same for WEC races see the very informative thread here.
