How could they let the GT start as normal with the BMW stranded in the middle of the track? Incredibly dangerous and it's rather miraculous that no GT car collected the BMW.
A genuine answer to that question may be that that BMW was making an attempt to get off the track, and looked like it would make it off before the GT field arrived, but didn't quite make it. The driver somehow managed to get it turned around, and pointing towards the gap in the barriers by the time the GT field showed up. Which is why I think the marshalls couldn't decide which flag to throw. A learning experience for sure
Total adherence to yellow flags by the drivers was obivous throughout the race ;) Examples the yellow immediately in turn one after the start or when the WTR car was slow on track. Obivously every driver was prepared to slow or come to a stop there ;)
Thank you IMSA for having uploaded this great race ; Watkins Glen doesn't need Liberty Media, Netflix, Drive to survive & others bloody silly things to offer really interesting races. Cheers from Milan & Monza
@@imsaofficialhere again almost one week after School Idol Festival AllStars was closed down... Wish 2024 6hrs at the Glen gonna be contested over 76 cars?
My first IMSA race I have attended in person (did the drive back and forth from Philly in one day). Fun in a whole new way in person but you really can’t beat the thoroughness of the TV coverage.
Thank you for uploading the amazing race. I watched it Sunday but definitely wanted to enjoy the masterpiece of racing again. Like the commentary's said. "The Golden Era is Now".
I got to visit the track this past weekend with my family for the first time, and boy am I still riding the high from getting to experience these machines for over 6 hours! After getting rained on during and after the qualifying session Saturday, it was awesome that the t-storms stayed away on Sunday. Thank you for posting this content so quickly so I can re-live the experience and actually know what's happening on track lol
Thank you for the upload I really enjoyed watching I'm a huge fan of endurance and Le Mans type races. Especially lamborghini, ferrari, Porsche, Cadillac, Honda, BMW, ect... All these great car corporations on the same track is really amazing 2 see. I can't imagine how cool it feels to be a prototype driver! Ty and good luck all! 🎉❤😂😮
Brilliant as always IMSA! Fast upload, accessible for all, awesome knowledgeable coverage, and great great racing. A head above the rest of the endurance championships.
MUCH better than WEC in my opinion. Way more attention for the GTDs. Love it. Sad I missed the race, but I will be on for the next one! Love you and your love for racing America
@@vwjetta4138Yes it's about the principle though. IMSA can't just let teams run with 5 hp more or 10 kg lighter because "it's not really an advantage", rules are rules.
@@vwjetta4138 So how much below the rules can they be? If you allow exceptions everybody will start doing it because it's ok then. It's not like it was a surprise for Porsche either, they knew about this rule long before they started, even the privateer Porsche got it right. It's unlucky but only fair to the other teams. If they ran the car with 1 cm more ride height they wouldn't have been DQ'd but they wanted to risk it and got penalized for it.
@@Maenfyfor me its not the ruling that pisses me off. Its the inconsistencies of IMSA this season. Its like they forgot what they're doing with this new breed of GTPs
lotta bad calls off track all weekend... this was the most anti climactic start wed seen in a long time... race was great after the circus show stopped about 8 laps in...lol... lotta bone head moves by drivers, crews, flaggers... wheels fallin off, guys driving two pit stalls down and nailing a wheel left out, cars that spun driving into a pack of on coming cars...i dunno, i think they need to let some of the local dirt track drivers get in these cars next time they come up at least it would be delliberate if one of them went the wrong way or clipped a passing car from behind🤣
boy this year's racing in imsa and wec has been one series of butt clenching action. and more importantly, safety is still ensuring that no one has been seriously hurt from the crashes.
IMSA races are somehow really relaxing to me. The sound of dozens of twin-turbo V8 and V6 engines roaring puts me right to sleep. I'm hoping to catch one of the races in Sebring in-person one day!
Shea Adam commentary during the early 6th hour pitstop was awesome. Common team, acknowledge this level of knowledge, clarity and skill..truly top class.
thx IMSA. wat a top race. congrats to the winners. Porsche wins, but then i read they where disqualified for some technical reason. wat was the technical reason. i am hoping it wasnt anything dodgy Penske has done.
Rear ride height pushed the nose too low causing the front skid block to wear too thin. Pretty minuscule but still enough for an absolute circus act to ruin an amazing race
@@stephenlatimer1428 yep. Oh well. Its the only win BMW will have. Pippo is a monster with that caddy and jaiminet and tandy are one with the 963 so unless more shenanigans occur then yeah
Shea Adam is really coming around as a pit reporter. Mindful of unconscious socialization bias this 68 year old may have been imbued with, initially I wasn't impressed with her work. Word/phrase usage could be "clunky" and delivery a bit too "girlie" (bias red flag here). But over time her delivery has smoothed out to the point to where she is really getting good. Well done.
Hi IMSA and thanks a lot for the content! I think this year's graphics could be much improved if you dropped the 3 Highest In Class-graphic, instead letting the full field with time-difference show. That way it's much easier for me (and, who knows, maybe it helps those in production??) to identify where on track a fight is happening. It lets me much more closely follow the progress of cars I want to follow as they slip further back or regain ground. That's a huge component of this for me. For those of us not watching live + the majority of those who DO watch live, I think it'd be much better to have that longer list prevailing. Top 3 is mostly worthless for the majority of ANY endurance race, only really coming nto play the last few hours.
Here after finishing Nijigasaki Season 3 NEXT SKY OVA Movie & after LoveLive School Idol Festival AllStars Android game has been closed down for good.... 😭 Thanks for this amazing 6hr race at the Glen, IMSA!
thank god for imsa's safety 1st policy, the last thing we should have to deal with is anyone getting hurt and the racing should be about the racing. kudos to imsa
Yes, the TV coverage was horrendous. Three commercial breaks in the last twenty minutes including one on top of the final lead change in GTP. It was literally like, “Look at this amazing battle for the overall lead…we’re going to cut away and come back for the final five minutes…while we were away, check out this pass for the lead.” Such crap, and they do it every single race.
Time for change in the commentary box. John and his team have been the voice of endurance racing for decades and they’ve taken me through some of the best moments in my spectating career so I’m loathe to criticise. However in this race Jeremy comes across as sometimes confused sometimes irritated. Obviously he has a wealth of knowledge but often we’re getting stories from the past when what we need is commentary in the moment. Shae is great. Regularly however, she seems like the only one with a clue of what’s going on. Her frustration was apparent. Maybe this was just a bad day, but we need better. It’s quite possible that a pro driver commentator alongside John would be all that’s needed. Eg. Ant Davidson who is terrific. I’m rooting for Radio Show team to pull it back together. Finally, thanks to Imsa for putting this on RUclips. Fanatec have led the way with great coverage, all live, all free on RUclips. This is the model if you want to grow a passionate fan base rather than just monetize your existing audience. Imsa has a great product but an international race fan can only subscribe to so many walled gardens.
NBC’s coverage is so unbelievably bad. In a six-hour race they took three commercial breaks in the final twenty minutes, the last of which hid the final lead change in GTP. I can’t believe that Leigh Diffey and Townsend Bell continue to allow themselves to be the faces of such a shitty product.
Great race! I was surprised by the empty grandstands. Lots of RV's in the infield. But you could count the folks in some grandstands around the track on one hand. I thought the Glenn usually had a waiting list for tickets?
Been to The Glen a bunch, and in my experience, the majority of the crowd for a circuit like this is inside, walking around, seeking shade, and seeing different parts of the track. Much less people end up/choose to be in the grandstands. I was here for this race and didn't sit in the stands at any point of the 6 hours, except for the final 20 minutes or so in the stands at the last turn. Just one example of one fan though! Felt like a pretty big crowd relative to other years.
car number 52 should have been penalised for BRAKE CHECKING the car number 8. Poor Yoluch got the penalty there despite the unnatural slowing down and possible brake checking by 52 Keating. Keating ruined the race for him.
Funny how MSR gets caught outside the limits and doesn’t lose their win. But Porsche does. Over 1mm on the skid plate. Lol. They realized porche catching their stride and trying to limit it.
Difference between provisional and official results. The results were official when the MSR car was found outside the rules. The Porsche's win was provisional based on if they passed tech inspection. They didn't, so they lose the win. Same for every team, Porsche just played it too risky
If you actually understood how the rules operated you'd not say silly things. But you don't, you're just a sensationlist bandwagoner who doesn't care about the integrity of this sport.
LMp2 are the good place for the teams who can get chance for teams and drivers to race and also chance to get seats in lmdh and lmh in wec and imsa most of the teams (WRT,JOTA,Prema,Alpine (Signatech Alpine Team) ) and drivers are from LMP2 and also it's not that expensive and can be a stepping stone form LMP3 to LMP2 and to GTP/Hypercars
great race, great weekend, but man the bad calls, and the bone head moves by drivers, and pit crews... next time imsa comes to the glen, lets let the local dirt track guys get a chance in the seat of those cars!😆 at least it would all be intentional then...
Somebody must be doing something weird with the tire crews. To have SO many meatball flags for tires does not speak well of whomever is in charge of those technicalities.
Great race. Watched the last hour and it was thrilling.
