IMSA Race 2020 Rolex 24 Hours of 1801 W International Speedway Blvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114 - Page 12

I've given up completely on trying to find coverage and NOT paying for another effing package because Comcast sucks ass. It is 100% Comcast's doing wanting to nickel and dime everyone for losing cable subscribers. I'll follow here but viewing outside of Petit is done this season. This is the WORST deal IMSA has ever had and NOT a step forward, I don't care how cheap it is. Paying just feeds the bull excrement system of paying more for less. I'll find something else to do and feel better about my day. But then I've thought Comcast should be broken up since they started buying everything, it just feels like they're up to their usual

#19 Legge and #96 Foley swapping lead twice...

Dueces I guess? $20 a year is a small hill to die on...or find a vpn service and watch just fine.

Vettes seem to have a decent exhaust flame emitting even during full throttle, not just downshifts.

I'm kinda with you. I'm not paying the extra. But they must be extra anal about taking away streams, which is annoying. I'll see it again at 11, I guess. Or just go radio silent until the imsa upload in a few days.

It's been a real good race so far.

Do you remember having coverage of a sports car race switched to Nascar Qualifying. I do. I noted that NBCSG has all the Nascar Qual; so I wonder if we'll get more IMSA sprint race coverage free. After problems signing up, I opted for monthly until I see what will be available.

The BMW is massive!

I know we all know, but it just struck me again.

MaskedRacer · 26 Jan 2020, 01:35 (Ref:3953609)

Earl Bamber (porsche) is quite content to follow Augusto Farfus (bmw) right now. Driving looks very relax between the two cars from the onboards. I"m sure he won't pull what we will now call a "Rieberas".

Cracker at the 40 watt. It's a great show if you can catch it one year (and happen to like Cracker).

Who's dying? Do you have effing stake in NBCSports selling more of these. It's MORE money for LESS than we got before. Sorry but taking EVERY feeder series to behind a paywall live and almost half of the season action in the big show (yes, that's mostly Daytona and Sebring) to behind it as well is less than we had last season. I'm supposed to be grateful and pay more, sorry the cost is COMPLETELY inconsequential, for something that doesn't add a damn thing??? That's a loss of services and yet everyone at IMSA tried to tell us better. And just to add to it, NBCSPORTS and IMSA are deleting critical posts about the coverage on Facebook. Not exactly a winning strategy idiots, there's a history of the page and it shows the posts.

Spoken word from a bad beatnik poet at the 40 Watt is better than the hacks and garbage interviews in the race. The race itself was fine but damn they make Little E sound like an idiot somehow. And Rutledge can stay home in Fayette county talking to himself

Damn man, I really like Cracker.

Yeah the whole topic is first world problems. Get back to the racing. Things have settled quite nicely right now. At that point where the key is to just circulate laps. And keep a steady pace. GTLM requires 1 min 44 approx. GTD 1 min 47

Oh no, that wasn't a dig at Cracker at all. It was at the interruptions of racing for talking heads.

MaskedRacer · 26 Jan 2020, 01:54 (Ref:3953617)

At a stage of the race I love. Middle of the evening. The infield party is at full song now. Fireworks is coming up. And we have a real flow and rhythm to the race as it remains green flag. Less of a time to analyze about the on track stuff, but rather to just take in everything with the beautiful sounds of sportscar racing engines.

Yup, I should ****ing worry about whether I have food or shelter over where my money is spent. F off with your idiot childlike reasoning. No wonder why these morons can charge more money for less product in all manners of production. I'll take my break now and feel better for taking a break. I thought the BOP *****ing was bad but the incessant need to tell us how we should spend our money and not ***** about 20 bucks not being anything. It isn't about the actual cost, it's the need for more and more and more for less.

**Adam43** · 26 Jan 2020, 01:58 (Ref:3953619)

Let’s take a step snack from this now

Back to racing

**Adam43** · 26 Jan 2020, 02:26 (Ref:3953620)

38 in the barriers. Still no FCY.

Edit:Spoke to soon.

kvenom · 26 Jan 2020, 02:35 (Ref:3953621)

#55...not restarting.

cough***get a good VPN***cough

Maelochs · 26 Jan 2020, 02:45 (Ref:3953624)

Not saying I would recommend circumventing the geo-block by spending a few bucks a month on a VPN ..... definitely not saying that's what i did ... but I an enjoying the race a good deal.

By the way ... a lot of VPN programs come with a free month/30-day money-back guarantee ... not that anyone should take advantage of that to watch select races ....

Maelochs · 26 Jan 2020, 02:48 (Ref:3953627)

R. Taylor hit in the door by that annoying invisible car ......

kvenom · 26 Jan 2020, 02:49 (Ref:3953628)

#55 has already had a starter motor fail and the back up has to last 16hrs.
