1989 IMSA Camel GT Championship SunBank 24 Hours of Daytona

This was the first round of the International Motor Sports Association Camel GT Championship from Daytona International Speedway. As you can imagine, the field was stacked with talent, both in the driver pool and the cars themselves.
This is the coverage from Superstation WTBS with Ken Squier leading an equally stacked commentary lineup which included Dave Despain, Hurley Haywood, Mike Joy, and the great Chris Economaki.

Thank you for this great upload!
I always watch those legendary races when I go to sleep.
They are so calming, there’s something magic of the autoracing of yesteryear.
The manufacturers build truly unique cars which each had design and technology of its own.
Together with the knowledgeable commentators it is just great to watch and truly comforts me in a cloud of nostalgia.
Thank you for making this possible with your upload :)
