    Are you enjoying this on-line? Seeing one live, being out with the feeling of speed, the location, the sounds, and the Fans that are out there to enjoy the experience. Watching here on-line is second best, but the coverage is the BEST in motor racing. Thanks to the of the Crew!

      I don't know, I grew up with a dad that was the announcer at BIR in Brainerd for about 40 years and I find TV coverage much better. Gets old waiting for two minutes to see ten seconds of the leaders and then wait two more minutes. And inevitably if a crash or some great action occurs it's never where you're sitting at the time. The smells and sounds are pretty cool though.

      @@matthewmoilanen787 I have been a race Fan for close to 65 years and have heard and talked to many local announcers who are super knowledgeable and have a voice that I very clear with a good tone. I have been fortunate to sit near a wide screen for 2.4 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr and 24 hr, to everything that’s going on, and we tune in to the broadcast on a local band, and we open a app to see all of the standings and postions, this really keeps you busy and knowledgeable. Thanks for the comment.

    As good as the BMW factory drivers are supposed to be, they sure wreck a lot and always seem to put the team behind. Lets hope that get it running by race time on Sunday.

    When will BMW step it up? ACURA has drivers who’ve barely sniffed prototype cars in the past doing better than the BMW’s. Nobody wants 1 or two manufacturers winning the championship for the next 8 years. I think it’s time for them to look at an EVO package or some sort of drivability enhancements

      @@markzebr6463 I hear you but I slightly disagree. In my personal opinion I think the car is the issue and not the drivers. I think it’s just a chore to drive. For example during Le Mans FRIJINS crashed because he adjusted his brake balance and it upset the car and caused a massive accident I remember hearing that and couldn’t believe it. Something as simple as that causing such a violent response by the car is just plain unacceptable but could explain why they can’t seem to get the car under wraps. They simply don’t have all their systems in sync yet YEARS in. Shame

      Turn one is similar to a lot of the turns at the old Sebring airport course, hah. Stirling Moss once spun at speed winding up under the wing of a bomber, way off, and got lost trying to find his way back - '58, maybe?
