Hey friend, if you have youtube premium you can at least watch this with enhanced bitrate. Which helps a lot with the graininess of the image. I know most don't see the value in premium and I would have been one of those a number of years ago, but I am a Music person and I always used to subscribe to Spotify and then switched to google play music and transitioned over to youtube music when they merged the two. Now, if you have youtube premium you get youtube music. It was a smart decision by them because everyone watches youtube and anybody that subscribes to a music service can save a whole subscription by just getting youtube premium. No ads on your videos, enhanced bit rates on many videos and youtube music is included not to mention many free movies to watch.

The best race in Japan this year. By far. And, the best race at Fuji Speedway apart from the Fuji 24 Hours. Also, one of the best Fuji races apart from 1976, 1977, 2007, and 2008 Formula 1 races. And Super GT as well. :)
I don't like the VSC forcing a full SC. If they can do the clean up under the VSC, then go back to racing. If they can't, then just call a SC to start with. The VSC was over 5min long, then they wasted another almost 15min behind the safety car, and almost completely negated all the racing that had been going on for the first 1.5hrs.
@@kben24 I've noticed in several of the races that they will call for a full safety car for no apparent reason (no crashes, no major debris, nothing that the commentators mention). This is the only racing series that I've ever seen that in.
The officials have been pretty clear about this in multiple series. The tyres get cold during long-ish VSC/FCY periods. The safety car usually drives faster than the VSC/FCY speed limit (usually 120-140kph vs 80kph) plus the cars have to line up in single file and that allows the drivers to get a little bit of heat into the tyres by driving a little bit faster and having room to weave. Cold tyres are dangerous, especially in Hypercars.
Fully agree. I get the VSC->SC thing for when a safety car is necessary, it's not a bad idea. But the big advantage for VSCs is that teams aren't randomly punished on their strategy (too much). If a SC isn't necessary, then a VSC should directly go back to a re-start. Just allow an extra lap for tyre warm up (you aren't allowed to weave under regular VSC which makes sense) if that's the concern and you're good.
@@Indicant that's not real 1080p. It's like they used something to upscale the video quality from a file with lower resolution, but the final result isn't good. Just compare the video quality of Fia Wec replays and GT World, it's night and day difference
If you have a 40 series card (or AMD equivalent), try going to your YT profile pic ,select settings at bottom, switch to playback and performance, and select "prefer AV1" for encoding.
If these people are professionals, they should have a standing start. Let the professionals deal with cold tires and brakes. It's like they're being coddled like children.
Bamber, the King of taking his team out of a race. His fault at Spa, his fault here. I dont know why this team even keeps him as a driver to be honest.
Did you know that all carbon fiber " qlass " cup cars are not allowed to make contact with each other, so that means NO BLOCKING! I use NASCAR stamped steel US regulated. ✌️
I'm Japanese, but I find Fuji to be a boring circuit. The course is unnecessarily wide, and the only overtaking points are on the main straight. In addition, most of the areas outside the course are escape roads, so there's no tension about going off the course. The course was renovated in 2005 to its current form. Before that, it was an even more monotonous circuit, but there was no escape road. I know the history of the development of Japanese motorsports at this course. Still, I don't quite understand why this circuit, along with Suzuka, is in the top two of Japan's circuits.
@@kidpagronprimsank05 Since COVID-19, Super GT has become a Japan Championship, and the championship is decided by racing at Fuji multiple times a year. SGT is a globally interesting race series with cars of different regulations running together, but the course doesn't seem to match that at all. WEC is visually exciting, with races on courses all over the world. I think it's the pinnacle of motorsport right now!
@9t14a3 I think it is. Especially with how astronomical F1 prices are. Way more variety in sports car racing, better fan experience, plus way more value. Also, been to Fuji twice, I actually enjoy seeing the cars go down the straight. Maybe because I don't go to these events that much.
@@joe718gt4 I forgot to mention that the experience of watching it in person will be very different from the experience of watching it on video. If I could see the cars roaring along at 300km/h, battling in the slipstream, my opinion might change completely.
@joaquingonzalez834 Earl Bamber was. Since he's driving for the Yanks now he's either trying to pass himself off as a diversity hire or he identifies as a female driver!
No he finished 3rd .Just another troll schumi hater that sits on the couch and talks shit for no reason and has nothing else to do with thier time.And knows nothing about facts. Go make a frozen dinner or something.
Thank you again WEC, for posting these for all of us to watch!
If you’re a TV director reading this . STOP cutting to the pit garage mid battle /overtake. We want to see the racing not the reactions
I’ve just come on here to say exactly the same thing. It’s absolutely infuriating.
What he/she said.... agreed
I suggest writing an email. They do read them.
WEC TV does do a pretty good job with fan feedback.
Stop complaining we're are fortunate to even be able to watch all these races from start to finish

I was there and at Spa earlier this year. I thought the fan experience was way better at Fuji.
I suppose some just like the Troll experience of commenting. 🙄
Congratulations, WEC. As a lifelong motorsport fan. I can honestly say, this is the greatest race I have ever seen!

I’m surprised it’s not already a world championship. GTLM had world championship status. So should GT3 in WEC.
@@BlueSkyCrystals LMGT3's pro-am lineups might be preventing that, considering GTE Pro/GTLM had mostly pro driver lineups

VSC is a thing so cars can pit. It goes to safety car after two laps. If a safety car isn't going to come out, that would be a FCY
