We need a endurance race at road America, it would make the race 10 times better than it was before, a 2 hr and 40 minute race is too short for a track like this, I'm pretty sure everyone else would agree with me
@@erickyle5604 yeah a 24 hr race would be really cool to see or 12 hr race or maybe even 6 hours, but I did read somewhere that the longer the race the more money imsa would have to pay, so i think once imsa makes enough money they can do it.
2 hours and 40 mins is not endurance distance? Endurance doesnt always mean time it can also be length. 4 miles a lap, plus you have to factor in noise curfew considering this is in a pretty up state part of WI
@@km6832 2 hours 40 is just 45min. past an F1 race. This can hardly be called a serious endurance race. And do you mind if I whipe my behind with the noise curfew? It's not so that this track has to battle to keep all them top tier races from ruining everyones peace and quite every weekend. On the contrary.. Them nimbies should remind themselves that A) this track has been there for far longer then most who're living in it's direct vicinity and B) the revenues for all establishments(hotels, restaurants, campings, etc ) and draw of tourists/specators far outweigh the complains of a couple of handfulls "uppedy" whiners.

Only thing I wish we could get was some telemetry when they show on board cameras. G force, speed, etc. Liven it up a bit, commentating is always amazing
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld agreed. Maybe even show lap times during qualifying, show the sectors of the cars and how they stack up. There's so much room for upgrades to the broadcast
Please ask the camera guy in the pits to chill out, lol. Love the enthusiasm but the camera moving and twisting so much feels like a tiktok video not a race broadcast.
Great race. Question for IMSA......can we get an on screen graphic that tells us who is being interviewed on pit lane? I might have miss it if we already have it.
1:54:50 how can you not love Antonio Garcia, the only driver i saw this race that fights a braking in the outlap with cold tyres and manages to not go wide, not only that, he also gives the Aston Martin space on the outside to keep the side to side action going, such a gentleman. Unfortunately Gunn touched the grassa and went wide the next corner (no contact).
After watching a bunch of IMSA racing this year, a few thigns stand out. 1. Road America, VIR and Lime Rock are amazing race tracks. Laguna Seca and Watkins Glen had been my favorite American tracks going in, but I think RA and Lime Rock might be challenging LS for the top. Why are the 3 I first mentioned not in every road racing game ever put out? 2. Jeremy, John & Shae are amazing commentators. They have amazing knowledge of the sport and even more enthusiasm for it. World class. 3. Multi-class racing makes all the drivers have to be better at what they do and situational awareness. Both things that translate to everything a person can do. Listening to the guests you had here was great. Best takeaway was more single makes! So excited as MX-5, Lambos and Porsche have been real favorites of mine. Lime Rock will be missed though.
15:25 Road America / IMSA NEEDS to Open this Corner up with some Run-Off and Tires! That was just ridiculous with all of this grass and a VERY Close "Safer" Barrier Wall
1:34:41 There's a battle for overall P2 in the GTP class with the 60 Acura 0.1s behind the 01 Caddilace They didn't show a single moment of the lap and didn't show a glimpse of the overtake. Instead the producers are showing an LMP3 car that doesn't have a single car in its class within 10 seconds of it for an entire lap. Absolutely moronic.
What I find Amazing, is that in the near 70 years of Road America's existence, it's never hosted an F1 race. It's almost as long as Spa, and several former F1 racers have expressed their love for this track (Roman Grossjean for example).
@@FarrYaweh oh yeah RA does need TLC, even with the repave the track needs to be widened just a bit to fit F1 cars, and it needs permanent racing garages. I've also had plenty of arguments tho with people on "infrastructure" thinking our neck of the woods doesn't have any compared to Spa. In reality, RA is literally in the middle regionally wise of many cities and places people can go to that are not that far to drive to, as well as plenty of airports to quickly transport F1 supplies for any logistical problems. As a result, it's similar to Spa in that regard as well, the fact that there are places that people can still go and stay at after a race/practice/qualifying. Not to mention Lake Michigan is just east from the track and in the middle of June/July, is wonderful with plenty of hotels and small towns to accommodate. Not to mention that the PGA loves that area with Whistling Straits nearby.
That 963 is slowly becoming worthy of wearing the succession to the legendary 962c badge and is reminding of the dominance of the 919 Hybrid from a decade ago. They held off the Acura ARX-06 so well....
Sadly the same haven't been able to be said to their WEC program, which is their main game. The 963 is still struggling to beat the likes of GR010, 499P, or even Cadillac LMDh
Is the Cadillac actually racing any series in Europe ? I haven't followed EU racing in years since moving to US but I remember the LMD-h taking 3rd after the other two (Ferrari and Toyota) you mentioned at this year's LeMans 24Hr. Yeah it's definitely fair to say that Ferrari had a much better launch with their prototype program, but they also have a lot of hybrid drive experience from F1 already.
Does it include the 10 commercial breaks from USA/NBC in the final hour of race? That was just an awful experience! Granted most of them were side-by-side, that kind of interruption is only going to get worse as the networks try to make the money back from the rights deals. With declining audiences in cable and linear overall, eventually its just going to make sense to put them live on YT!
1:46:54 I LIKE That Idea of Putting the Top WeatherTech Drivers from every Class into MX-5 Cars at the End of the Season......OHHHHHH, Talk about FUN! 👍👍👍👍👍
Great drive by Matt Campbell even if he's considered one of the lesser lights in the Penske Porsche team and not good enough for a seat in one of the 3 Penske cars at this years 24 hours at L:e Mans
What is the problem with IMSA with their inability to clear a stalled car from the track in a reasonable amount of time. It should not take 10-15 minutes to clear a stalled car. With the first two cautions, no cars were wrecked, with no debris strewn about on the track, nor were the drivers injured. What disappoints me so much about their inability for the crash team to arrive in a timely manner, what would happens if there's a car on fire. IMSA needs to purchase more safety vehicles to be distributed around the tracks along with more safety crews to personnel them. IMSA should only race at tracks that have multiple gaps in the walls so that multiple safety crews can be spread out around the course instead of having just looks like just one safety crew. And one more problem that these unnecessarily long yellow flag. The tires get cold. Then they lose traction, which increases the probability of another car going off track within the first few laps of resumption to racing. The thing with cold tires created by yellow flag caution lamps, is prevalent in most racing series. The biggest offender I see is in NASCAR, where they're race commentators are always talking about the Big One (multi car crash) gonna happen on the restart. And it usually always happens because everybody's tires become cold. Sometimes I get the impression that the auto racing sanctioning bodies are governed by people who are slightly retarded. Just can't seem to grasp the concept of cold tires because of unnecessary long yellow flag caution laps.
Respectfully, this race isn't long enough to bring people on to chat to who aren't doing commentary. Maybe save that for the longer races on the calendar or just put a press release out on your website for people who need info about IMSA scheduling. Thank you for putting this race up.
Can you imagine what a 12hr would look like here? we had some seriously intensity in the initial stints here I can't imagine what power hour would look like here in an enduro format. Really disappointed on the lack of pace from #9. Not sure if this is BoP related or just lack of pace but I hope they come back stronger for the remaining two rounds.
since this track is repaved, it’d be cool👍 if sebring is repaved i’d love to see a ferrari car in imsa, maybe a: 488, sf90, or 296 in gtd or gtd pro & since imsa is in the usa, how about a gt mk2 🔥🔥? those sausages on the speedville bridge look delicious😋 🤤 2:51:46-2:51:52
2:47:08 A metronome outcome with Matt Campbell and Felipe Nasr who seal the golden honours after the skid row infringement from the #6 963 via Watkins Glen!
Just noticed it, did LMP2 in IMSA were allowed to have a dive plane? In WEC they changed the rules and LMP2 can't using to much aero package. No wondered why they were looked so fast in IMSA.
Driving at this level was my dream, I wanted to be one of the best in the world.... sadly my spine is twisted and took all my hopes and dreams and put them out of my reach. I was racing motorcycles on the tail of the Dragon driving a 1987 Chevy G20 Cargo Van at 17 years old! I learned how to drive fast on go-karts when I was just 5 and always thought that one day I'd be driving in cars like these when I was all grown up.... I'm 40 now and live in too much pain to drive to the store most days. I got by until last year when I get hit by being a courier most of my life but after getting nailed at a stop light by a lady on her phone at highway speed, it hurts too much and all I do is suffer from life and watch my hopes and dreams die..... I can't say "One day I'm going to be one of the best drivers in the world" anymore.... and that broke me. Now I see videos like this and think, "if I had a normal spine, that would be me in this race" but I don't have a chance of ever getting to prove I had what it takes... that hurts the soul knowing others get a Chance with only half the skills I have.... It make one hate ones self, like you failed at life.
It'll be nice to see United here next year. (Maybe someone will be able to give Ben Keating a run for his money. 🙂) Josh Pierson seems to be headed for full-time racing back home in the US, United and/or otherwise. I wonder what his license status will be next year, and if some LMDh or WEC hypercar team will try to tempt him? I bet he can qualify for gold based on his lap times.
28:28 That was a FOOLISH Move by that Yellow Porsche Driver! He had NO Business trying to pass there at Turn 5 and ended up shoving the BMW Off the Course! The Porsche Driver had to realize that that BMW Driver NEVER Saw him!
Not to be a downer but these broadcasts can be frustrating sometimes. So many battles and passes not even shown, or mentioned 5 minutes later with no replay. John and Jeremy struggling to interpret the timing, not always knowing the rules, being stuck with the national video feed, the limited timing information on screen, no telemetry, sector times, or tire life graphics… as a viewer at home, it’s hard to get excited when the commentators seem lost themselves half the time. Show me 2-3 minutes of a good battle for once! I’d also love to have a former driver with IMSA experience in the booth. I hope with IMSA thriving the production value will go up. It could be so much more engaging and do the racing justice!
Looks like a lot of the drivers were able to drive away from their incidents on their own for some reason, maybe it's the track design/surface - always good to prevent an IMSA yellow which can take forever.
Not enough coverage of any other field other than GTP. I like GTD the best and there was practically no coverage for them. I am disappointed with the Television coverage to say the least. SMH...
hello glad to see everything's going nice tonight I've seen Joey and Jennifer Ashton just today a little while ago where there's Joey he's nice tough guy he was racing one of my cars and around the globe that's the truth that's me Eric telling the Truth
I think they were running crazy low ride height and the tires were so cold the car was bottoming everywhere. Not an excuse though, as the other BMW was able to keep it on track before their mechanical DNF
IMSA has never had tire heaters, and they're better for it. It adds a little wrinkle to strategy, because the long-term advantage of fresh tires is somewhat offset by the short-term disadvantage of cold tires. It's also, IMO, a good thing to give the drivers a bit of a challenge; it adds visual excitement and demonstrates the drivers' human personality, and it allows an opportunity for the great to separate themselves from the good. Plus, tire heaters cost money, so the sport is more accessible if teams don't have to pay for them.
@@A.F.Whitepigeon not true. But for imsa to actually that steps to disqualified tires for being single degree over ambient temp is just absurd. And for anyone to say that is just foolish and maybe should pay attention.
why is the video quality so poor? It's not just that it's 720p but you can see all these weird artifcats like vertical stripes and stuff on a lot of the cameras.
Спорт
IMSA TV crew is my favorite. Always a joy when they're on the call.
Radio Le Mans origins. These guys are all legends.
The Battel for GTee Dey.
Once again IMSA knocks it out of the park with a great race at a great venue and, with great announcers!
Thanks so much IMSA!
We need a endurance race at road America, it would make the race 10 times better than it was before, a 2 hr and 40 minute race is too short for a track like this, I'm pretty sure everyone else would agree with me

Thanks for this amazing coverage, IMSA!
Only thing I wish we could get was some telemetry when they show on board cameras. G force, speed, etc. Liven it up a bit, commentating is always amazing
They could probably put it on the right side.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld agreed. Maybe even show lap times during qualifying, show the sectors of the cars and how they stack up. There's so much room for upgrades to the broadcast
going to VIR. Went to Daytona, IMSA is my new favorite series. 2024 looking good too
Time has come to upgrade towards 1080p!
Please ask the camera guy in the pits to chill out, lol. Love the enthusiasm but the camera moving and twisting so much feels like a tiktok video not a race broadcast.
Fav track ever ❤💛💚
Why only 720p? It would be nice to have full HD 1080p or 2k preferably.
It's all recorded in 4K, so...
4K tech so.
Great race.
Question for IMSA......can we get an on screen graphic that tells us who is being interviewed on pit lane?
I might have miss it if we already have it.
1:54:50 how can you not love Antonio Garcia, the only driver i saw this race that fights a braking in the outlap with cold tyres and manages to not go wide, not only that, he also gives the Aston Martin space on the outside to keep the side to side action going, such a gentleman. Unfortunately Gunn touched the grassa and went wide the next corner (no contact).
I was there for the first time ever. It was great to see the cars up close before the race. The yellow Cadillac was a pleasure to hear.
After watching a bunch of IMSA racing this year, a few thigns stand out.
1. Road America, VIR and Lime Rock are amazing race tracks. Laguna Seca and Watkins Glen had been my favorite American tracks going in, but I think RA and Lime Rock might be challenging LS for the top. Why are the 3 I first mentioned not in every road racing game ever put out?
2. Jeremy, John & Shae are amazing commentators. They have amazing knowledge of the sport and even more enthusiasm for it. World class.
3. Multi-class racing makes all the drivers have to be better at what they do and situational awareness. Both things that translate to everything a person can do.
Listening to the guests you had here was great. Best takeaway was more single makes! So excited as MX-5, Lambos and Porsche have been real favorites of mine. Lime Rock will be missed though.
Whoever is calling the shots needs to make Road America into a 6hr. Marquee event.
Great job by John, Jeremy and Shay once again...the do such an awesome job on the commentary and hosting duties, interviews, etc.
Great in-race interviews! More of that please
15:25 Road America / IMSA NEEDS to Open this Corner up with some Run-Off and Tires! That was just ridiculous with all of this grass and a VERY Close "Safer" Barrier Wall
The new pavement at RA is so great. I really need to get a track day yet this year to feel it in person.
1:34:41
There's a battle for overall P2 in the GTP class with the 60 Acura 0.1s behind the 01 Caddilace They didn't show a single moment of the lap and didn't show a glimpse of the overtake.

Unfortunately there's way too much cement here. They'd need to seriously renovate the barriers to make it even an option.
@@FarrYaweh oh yeah RA does need TLC, even with the repave the track needs to be widened just a bit to fit F1 cars, and it needs permanent racing garages.
I've also had plenty of arguments tho with people on "infrastructure" thinking our neck of the woods doesn't have any compared to Spa. In reality, RA is literally in the middle regionally wise of many cities and places people can go to that are not that far to drive to, as well as plenty of airports to quickly transport F1 supplies for any logistical problems. As a result, it's similar to Spa in that regard as well, the fact that there are places that people can still go and stay at after a race/practice/qualifying. Not to mention Lake Michigan is just east from the track and in the middle of June/July, is wonderful with plenty of hotels and small towns to accommodate.
Not to mention that the PGA loves that area with Whistling Straits nearby.
💯🔥👍love this series
That 963 is slowly becoming worthy of wearing the succession to the legendary 962c badge and is reminding of the dominance of the 919 Hybrid from a decade ago.
They held off the Acura ARX-06 so well....

good show

Really disappointed on the lack of pace from #9. Not sure if this is BoP related or just lack of pace but I hope they come back stronger for the remaining two rounds.
152kms on odometer means about 38 laps for that time.
Nice.
Show corrida TOP.
10:10 GTD PRO & GTD START

i’d love to see a ferrari car in imsa, maybe a: 488, sf90, or 296 in gtd or gtd pro
& since imsa is in the usa, how about a gt mk2 🔥🔥?
those sausages on the speedville bridge look delicious😋 🤤
2:51:46-2:51:52
The current GT3 Ferrari is based on the 296. There are e couple in IMSA, but only running the endurance races this year.
56:11 so close😮
2:47:08 A metronome outcome with Matt Campbell and Felipe Nasr who seal the golden honours after the skid row infringement from the #6 963 via Watkins Glen!

which game is this, looks pretty realistic
I just don’t understand how anyone can watch Formula One over this. This is awesome racing
Excellent racing as is usual for IMSA. However mininum fuel time is TOTAL BS!!!
Dam that 01 is..having a bad year overall..
💪💪💪🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 cadilac sons que faz meu cérebro 🧠 ficar em êxtase
Please show the drivers and the wheel at least!
Porqué no se puede ver en Perú

Hey BMW, I'll replace Connor if you need. Two crashes in twenty minutes?
Looks like something w the car tbf. That warmup spin looked so snappy. The other one seems to be his fault, even if the car tyre warmup is shit
I think they were running crazy low ride height and the tires were so cold the car was bottoming everywhere.
Not an excuse though, as the other BMW was able to keep it on track before their mechanical DNF
@@FarrYaweh maybe you're missing my humour 😋 he's got a dream job and he's squandering it

Imsa has to let these cars get the tire heaters back out!! This is getting crazy. Temp and pressure go hand and hand.
IMSA has never had tire heaters, and they're better for it. It adds a little wrinkle to strategy, because the long-term advantage of fresh tires is somewhat offset by the short-term disadvantage of cold tires. It's also, IMO, a good thing to give the drivers a bit of a challenge; it adds visual excitement and demonstrates the drivers' human personality, and it allows an opportunity for the great to separate themselves from the good. Plus, tire heaters cost money, so the sport is more accessible if teams don't have to pay for them.
@@A.F.Whitepigeon not true. But for imsa to actually that steps to disqualified tires for being single degree over ambient temp is just absurd. And for anyone to say that is just foolish and maybe should pay attention.
Wrong series bro. Thats wec. Imsa drivers have never had tire warmers
why is the video quality so poor? It's not just that it's 720p but you can see all these weird artifcats like vertical stripes and stuff on a lot of the cameras.
