Relive all the action from The Rolex 24 At Daytona, the first race of the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season and Round 1 of the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup.
@@judgegixxer wec is FAR behind on this and I don't think the FIA and aco realize how many fans they're missing out on by not at least broadcasting - for free - in every county other than the one they're currently racing in.
if your a fan of misidentifying cars and having live commercials in the booth while completely ignoring all track action for on average 10 minuts at a time, use imsa radio.
5:23:55, I like that. No, I Love It. That transition was simply beautiful. First time seeing that done on racing events. That cameraman deserves a Raise!
@@lotusamg6997, well, yes and no. Yes, Ford didn't just pull out of GTLM spontaneously, but the C7Rs were becoming increasingly less competitive since 2018, and everyone knew a C8R was right around the corner. To say that Ford didn't weigh that in consideration is simply inaccurate.
Thank you so much IMSA for uploading these. I paid for Discover Velocity (in Canada) to watch the race but the NBC coverage they were showing was abysmal. It was like a talk show. They did more interviews than what they showed for on track racing. Plus commercials every 10 minutes. IMSA Radio coverage rocks with way better commentators and pit lane reporters. THANK YOU!
NBC sports is an oxymoron. What a bunch of sell outs. I like me this kinda stuff because I know more about ben keating’s driving than ben keating. Seems fast from these pictures, but is he a nice guy?
cheers IMSA! thanks for showing the way by, working with radio le mans and by uploading these! very much appreciated from a fan in Belgium, going back to the grand am and ALMS days!
After watching Kamui in WEC and his few appearances in IMSA, I've consistently been astonished at his magic behind the wheel, and always classy, humble interviews. He easily pulls off moves that would make anyone else wreck. He sometimes looks like a madman with his driving, but he's always in control. I wish we could see more of him in IMSA.
Love IMSA!!! The focus on fan involvement and providing great racing thats watchable in person and on screen. Seeing all those people watching in the Pensky garage. That's how you keep fans interested. Great Job IMSA. Now bring Phillipe Massa to race.
Thank you so much IMSA Official for posting this in your usual timely manner. There are a lot of motor racing series around the world who could learn from how well you guys treat your fans. One thing I will say about the racing is that this part shows that at least until the Corvette's get up to speed (remember at every track they'll be just about starting from scratch because their old car settings would be next to useless with the new car, so expecting them to win straight up might be wishful thinking), when it comes to the shorter sprint races, in GTLM the Porsche's will still be the cars to beat.
That's exactly their role :-) John is the unbridled passion, and Jeremy (possessed of equal passion, only bridled, I guess) is the calm, sensible guy - "just the facts," sorta. They are the perfect team, along with Shea in the pits - the best pit reporter since the legendary (in the US) Chris Economaki.
My first 24 hour race too! Although I was only able to see the first 8 hours because I had to get back to hotel to pack and catch plane back to reality.
There is another race going on this weekend if you want to watch some more racing, the 12 hours of Bathurst will be live on the "GTWorld" RUclips channel.
Watching the full race replay of last year’s Rolex 24 At Daytona will get me ready to watch this year’s Rolex 24 At Daytona! I know the full race replay is in 3 or 4 separate videos but I’ll get the feeling of what this race is like!
Thanks for posting this, IMSA! The new color scheme on the 77 Mazda is somewhat confusing, at least for now; it no longer looks like a sister car to the 55. I'd grown used to spotting the darker Mazdas in and around the white Acuras.
I'm with ya, but racing would not be viable without sponsors, so... the new livery is for the new sponsor. I think the new sponsor made a huge mistake in insisting on the whole new livery. That soul crystal red is so emblematic of the awesomeness of these new Mazdas, I think they should have tried to design the livery around that red instead of re-designing the whole thing. I don't think people will like this new livery, which will reflect poorly on the sponsor, whether or not the 77 wins races.
why? do you like misidentifying cars every 4 minutes, talking to advertisers missing key battles or incidents and being completely unaware of what is happening in the race?
jack coffey I was very annoyed last time I watched on nbc. They kept interrupting the ads with the fucking race. Luckily the race was only on for bout 2 mins before it was back to ads again.
@@neilmartin3220 im very annoyed at hindy missing every single major action of the race, and misidentifying every single car that has a problem. he has probably caused so many heart attacks for the teams. also, if you watched on nbc gold. no ads.
Thanks for the coverage but why 720p? If you want to compete with SRO, ILMS et al, please, upload a good 180p 60 fps video. 720 doesn’t do justive to the subject matter.
Wow, you guys really DO NOT PAY ATTENTION!! Kobayashi passed Bourdais about an entire lap before you finally noticed it, around the time #77 was entering the pits..
Heads UP. The exit area of Pit Lane must have a barrier wall separating the high bank cars from the open exposed PIT area. Very dangerous for pit crews. Daytona take this as a warning.
So far I haven’t found out how often they switch drivers in this race but that shouldn’t be a problem when I watch this race in 2 weeks because I’m supposed to get a scene for one of my RUclips videos during this year’s Rolex 24 At Daytona and I should watch most of this race anyways because we all know scenes can take more than one try.
Enfin la rediffusion ! Pourquoi on voit les autres séries en ligne sur RUclips souvent en direct et pas le 24hr de Daytona !? Merci pour cette rediffusion...
Oui j'ai aussi regarder le Bathurst. IMSA a vendu les droits de diffusion a quelque station differente creant un geo-block pour certain pays/region dans le monde. Meme sur leur app c'etais bloquer au Canada/USA. La series de Bathurst na pas ce probleme parce qu'il n'on pas reussie a vendre les droits
To me it seems like this race wasn't promoted enough leading up to it, I knew some fans that didn't even realize the race was on. Not saying it's IMSA's fault but between WeatherTech, IMSA, Chevy, Cadillac, Acura, etc did do enough. Chevrolet was the worst they barely marketed the brand knew C8.R with one video 3 months ago. I miss Ford Performance they understood the value of marketing & social media in todays world
Finished on Sunday afternoon - on RUclips in FULL LENGTH WITHOUT COMMERCIALS by Thursday.
Thank you imsa!!!
You can expect each WeatherTech Championship race video to be posted in it's entirety the Thursday following its live broadcast. Thanks!
@@imsaofficial thx you
Shoot me with a rhino dart!
Much quicker than WEC!
@@judgegixxer wec is FAR behind on this and I don't think the FIA and aco realize how many fans they're missing out on by not at least broadcasting - for free - in every county other than the one they're currently racing in.
Thank you IMSA, really helps people who don't have the sports package
WeatherTech Championship races are always posted the Thursday following the live broadcast. Thanks.
@@imsaofficial 😁
kinda beats the purpose of buying the sports package doesnt it... LOL
@@jkk20 right, and even then you get ads left and right
33:24, I AGREE!!
Thank you IMSA for showing the race. If you're a fan of commercials and unrelated interviews, watch NBC.
if your a fan of misidentifying cars and having live commercials in the booth while completely ignoring all track action for on average 10 minuts at a time, use imsa radio.
5:23:55, I like that. No, I Love It. That transition was simply beautiful. First time seeing that done on racing events. That cameraman deserves a Raise!
Incredible racing in every class! Just wish Ford was still here in GTLM :(
You know what, I think Ford didn't want the head-on confrontation with the C8 Corvette.
@@nbeaudoin1 You do realise Ford announced they'll pull out in 2019 in 2015, right? When the C8 race programme wasnt even an idea yet.
@@lotusamg6997, well, yes and no. Yes, Ford didn't just pull out of GTLM spontaneously, but the C7Rs were becoming increasingly less competitive since 2018, and everyone knew a C8R was right around the corner. To say that Ford didn't weigh that in consideration is simply inaccurate.
BOP kind of throws a wrench in the works too.
I think Ford spent too much on Deegan...just my guess
10:40 - Green Flag/Start of the race
Gracias amigo🏁🚗
THX BUDDY
Thank thank
Hey IMSA, as a cord cutter I really appreciate that you post races onto YT. Keep it up!
As a hater of commercials, I thank you IMSA!
If you weren't a cord cutter would you hold less value on your opinion..?
as somebody who can't sit still for 24hrs at a time to watch a race I appreciate it lol
Thank you so much IMSA for uploading these. I paid for Discover Velocity (in Canada) to watch the race but the NBC coverage they were showing was abysmal. It was like a talk show. They did more interviews than what they showed for on track racing. Plus commercials every 10 minutes. IMSA Radio coverage rocks with way better commentators and pit lane reporters. THANK YOU!

Yeah, I just watched Sebring on NBC. They took a commercial break with 9 minutes left in a 12-hour race. They’re a joke.
It’s been since January that we’ve seen IMSA car on track! It’s about time we get them back!!
We're getting 24 hours of Le mans till September maybe.
IMSA are absolute legends for putting these up.
Really enjoyed watching this live. Thanks for uploading IMSA.
cheers IMSA! thanks for showing the way by, working with radio le mans and by uploading these! very much appreciated from a fan in Belgium, going back to the grand am and ALMS days!
YES finally. Was waiting whole week to can start 2020 season. 👍 IMSA
I've been waiting since Road Atlanta
Ditto..Listened to the race last weekend. Excited to see it finally.
I’ve been suffering for the last four days trying not to watch any sort of highlights waiting for this! Thank you IMSA!!❤️
2:57:07 watching Kobayashi's masterful driving in this race brought me great joy!!
After watching Kamui in WEC and his few appearances in IMSA, I've consistently been astonished at his magic behind the wheel, and always classy, humble interviews. He easily pulls off moves that would make anyone else wreck. He sometimes looks like a madman with his driving, but he's always in control. I wish we could see more of him in IMSA.
I was peeved I wasn't able to get the live coverage.
I feel all better now...
Love IMSA!!! The focus on fan involvement and providing great racing thats watchable in person and on screen. Seeing all those people watching in the Pensky garage. That's how you keep fans interested. Great Job IMSA. Now bring Phillipe Massa to race.

Thank you, IMSA for posting the full race so quickly! You rule.
This is so much better than the NBC coverage I wish I had this live
did everything to not get any spoilers. Thanks for the fast upload IMSA
Thank you for posting this for us in Canada who do not get discovery car channel
Green flag: 10:35
Full-course yellows:
1) 4:53:54-5:17:45
Jeremy always has to bring John back down to earth. lol They are my favorite racing commentators.

Was my first 24 Hour race, what an experience it was!

REVOLUTION RIP-OFF i stayed for a huge majority of the race, was at the track till around 4 am before going to get some rest

Thanks @mani1610
I rather binge watch this race way more than Tiger King. I would love to be at the 24 Hours of Daytona!
Yes I was waiting for the upload
THANKS IMSA
Wow, what a fast uploading!
Thanks IMSA!
Thanks IMSA! As usual, I wasn't able to watch it live this year so this is much appreciated! 👍
Thank you IMSA. In Japan,TV doesn’t broadcast. This video helps Japanese motorsports fun .みんなルマンの時は盛り上がってたのに…もっと放送してくれよなぁ MAZDAが走ってんのに
Thank you for getting it up so soon. We appreciate it!
Thanks for uploading this. I know what I'll be watching for the next couple weeks. Big ups IMSA
I was planning to catch this live and totally forgot. Thanks for the upload! Now I can catch up.
Thanks for uploading always miss this race glad to see it on RUclips
Imsa thanks so much love this race love the #10 cadillac aswell 🖤💙
Thank you for posting! Only have radio access here in Canada, so this is an amazing treat 🙏
Thank you IMSA!!❤️
Thanks a lot IMSA, you made my day (and, why not, my weekend) here in Chile.
The true start of the new year. LETS GO RACING!
I love you IMSA
Finally get to see the start because NBCSN started the broadcast 20 mins into the race...
Thanks IMSA for the upload.
love you IMSA
Perfect timing as i have just finished my tests at school!
Watching the full race replay of last year’s Rolex 24 At Daytona will get me ready to watch this year’s Rolex 24 At Daytona! I know the full race replay is in 3 or 4 separate videos but I’ll get the feeling of what this race is like!
Unfortunate that this wasn't uploaded in 1080p, still great racing though.
We need a track map
We need GTE- Aston Martin, and the Mclaren GT3, and Bentley GT3 in this event
C8 so good looks
geezus i refreshed and it said "uploaded 59 secs ago".....almost first but exciting to watch!
Thank you IMSA! So much!
it makes alot of sense for kyle bush to race in a lexus. his main stock car is a toyota camry, and has a pretty strong relationship with them.
Thanks so much for the upload! That was quick
Mom:Sleep now!!
Me:One video
Mom:okay
Me:watch this video
Salam hangat dari indonesia, semangat dalam menghadapi pandemi covid19. Gasskeeuunn🏁 #imsa
Thank you IMSA! Great as always... miss the 720p60 resolution, though
What a brilliant track & racing spectacle!
Awesome here we go!!!! thanks imsa
Thoroughly enjoyable
Thanks for posting this, IMSA!
The new color scheme on the 77 Mazda is somewhat confusing, at least for now; it no longer looks like a sister car to the 55. I'd grown used to spotting the darker Mazdas in and around the white Acuras.
I'm with ya, but racing would not be viable without sponsors, so... the new livery is for the new sponsor. I think the new sponsor made a huge mistake in insisting on the whole new livery. That soul crystal red is so emblematic of the awesomeness of these new Mazdas, I think they should have tried to design the livery around that red instead of re-designing the whole thing. I don't think people will like this new livery, which will reflect poorly on the sponsor, whether or not the 77 wins races.

Can't do 1080p or higher? Despite this, a big thanks for your uploads.

Great race! I only missed the stuff that NBCSN didn't cover live
Kobayashi was driving as if the entire car was filled with plastic exclusives
Wow, you guys really DO NOT PAY ATTENTION!! Kobayashi passed Bourdais about an entire lap before you finally noticed it, around the time #77 was entering the pits..
Finally it's up!
My day is now ruined in the best way possible.
thank you imsa!!!
Yes, I was waiting for this :-)
Bru Rred Thanks! You too, brother
Ah, nice to see there's a few more LMP2s this year.
36 laps in 1 hour
Awesome...tyvm!
Good luck, Scott Tucker; go get them!
Heads UP.

Listen the mountain knows!!!
It's time to go RACING 🏁🌈😎🍻🤯 thank you IMSA, love you🤭
Thank you!!
The pits are are awesome! With the way they pull out, it’s easy to see why there are not a lot of kids out there.
I don't think I've ever been to a race that Katherine Legge has finished... I just want to see my favorite driver do well.
