It's saying the Roar is the 'opportunity to test their new ride' before the 24 Hours (is; the 'big race' in question).
And there are guest drivers from NASCAR and Indycar, so I don't see an issue there? |

Not a bad group of names above the door on the Ganassi 02:

I wonder if it is influencing livery choices? The Mazda P2 are red and the Ganassi cars feature more of the target red than they have had for a while. TRG has blue on their Astons… just a few quick examples.

Do we know if the 24 will be on FS1 or FS2? I think most of us Comcast users don't have FS2. I'll be devastated if I can't watch.

I assume it'll be on both, bouncing back and forth as other programming comes and goes.
Some brief Googling revealed that FS1 is scheduled to show College Basketball from 2-4pm, UFC from 5pm to 8pm, more Basketball from 8pm to 10:30pm, then Supercross at 10:30pm on Saturday the 25th. Last year's race started at 3:30 PM, so that would lead me to believe that the start will either be on FS2, or pushed back until ~4:15pm for TV reasons. My guess would be an hour on FS1 starting at 4pm, then FS2 until around midnight, then back to FS1 until whatever sport pre-empts it Sunday morning. As a Comcast customer, I'm remaining hopeful that a streaming service will be announced. Last edited by Cuttlefish; 3 Jan 2014 at 02:39. |

This is going to be very disappointing, and not the best way for tusc to start off with the majority o f fans unable to watch. By the way wtf does NASCAR have to do with red mirrors,this isn't NASCAR officials making the rules for Imsa! The mirrors are annoying and confusing but it's not a NASCAR thing.this NASCAR bashing is getting old. Last edited by Lagunaseca_4life; 3 Jan 2014 at 03:16. |

"NASCAR" has always been a bigass wall to throw mud at around here; that wall got much larger last year. Bill France built a circuit that actually lends itself well to a 24 h sportscar race and is a surprisingly good place to go watch in person.
I understand there will be cars on course tomorrow. Bout damn time. Maybe we can focus on that instead of slinging mud. Probably not. |

Yes I know that,but it isn't stock car road racing like some like to make it sound as it is.until the day there is definitive proof that NASCAR regulation officials are in Imsa and directing Imsa to creat these regs such as the mirrors and wing plates we can drop this NASCAR crap. Even NASCAR doesn't mandate silly things like that, only the drivers names on the window banner and rookie color strips on the rear bumper and maybe a few sponsor decal locations. And other series also have silly regs too that just aren't made public. **** just accept it already this isn't as bad as some thought it would turn out to be, granted it's not perfect but I'm happy so far I just hope it turns out to be better and can actually watch it.

Conti tire cars should be out on the circuit for the Roar, according to my schedule. Timing isn't showing any timing tho.

The power and prowess of the NASCAR marketing machine has repeatedly been touted as a major plus for the new series. I was just pointing out that for this to be true and to be as effective as possible, they should be promoting Sports Cars, Endurance Racing and the fact that top drivers and teams from around the world and coming to Daytona. As a footnote or add-on, they should also mention that some drivers from NASCAR, Indycar and other series are joining these top drivers from around the world as "guest drivers". No harm in doing that at all. Just don't lead your article with this news is all that I am saying. It just seemed a bit odd that in a piece that is meant to promote sports cars, IMSA and the high level of international competition that will be competing in the upcoming historic merger of Grand Am and the American Le Mans Series seems to take second fiddle to the fact that there will be some NASCAR drivers present. All I am asking is, "Why not promote the sports cars, the Roar before the 24 and the 24 Hours of Daytona first?" There will be plenty of time later to promote Speed Weeks and the 500. In no way is this throwing mud at NASCAR. It is meant to be constructive criticism meant to help focus the marketing power to promote the new series. |

I think the intended meaning was their new and unfamiliar 24hr rides but the language is poor and skewed toward the hype of having "name" guest drivers. It's anything goes to put butts in the stands.

Thought I'd bring this back up for those who want the ALMS/ACO colours back in their live timing:
Code:
@-moz-document domain(scoring.imsa.com) { .car-class-p> span { background:rgb(29, 115, 203) !important; } .car-class-pc > span { background:rgb(125, 20, 194) !important; } .car-class-gtlm > span { background:rgb(87, 185, 52) !important; } .car-class-gtd> span { background:rgb(233, 126, 4) !important; } .indicator-tire-f { background:rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; color:#fff !important; } .indicator-tire-m { background:rgb(29, 115, 203) !important; color:#fff !important; } } Chrome: go to about:version, and open the folder in the "profile path". Go to the User StyleSheets folder and open Chrome.css. Remove the first and last lines from the CSS above and add to Chrome.css, save the file - change should be visible immediately. |

I hope the Mazda isn't hurt too bad. I've heard it is quite warm down there actually. I'm seeing reports of 42F. Sounds downright like Shorts weather compared to the -20F with windchill here this morning.

+1 on the Mazda. that's a shame. 42 with a breeze is frigid for FLA.
