This is only new for this year and not available for the US. They still have a ways to go, but it’s a step in the right direction. The US options are littered with advertisements, making it hard to watch at times.
So much better this year not having to wait for the races to make their way onto YT a few weeks after the event, kept inadvertently catching the results b4 getting to watch the races last year, not so this year, THANKS IMSA!
I love watching the racing, but I really wish you guys would turn up the mix on the car/engine sounds. The WEC channel has a great balance with the audio mix and it makes it a much more immersive watching experience.
IMSA the best racing/Motorsports RUclips and it’s not even close!!!!! Have watched half these races at work while there’s nothing to do lol. Some of the best racing on the planet!!!!🔥💸
Just so IMSA is aware, people subscribed to this youtube channel don't get a new video notification when this is enabled to be viewed in United States on Thursday. It appears to us as a 3 day old video with no notification it was posted.
I like to compliment companies when they do do something good and streaming these races to RUclips is a very good thing. I can never watch them as they come out but for the thousands of others this is good keep doing it we love it.
I love IMSA! Thank You for adding the info graphics in the upper left hand corner. I really appreciate it. It really helps us understand what these machines and drivers are going through.
Advantage of live streams who are live is, you can watch the race the day after the race, if you cant watch it like me, because i have to go to work very early (living in switzerland)
Finally an IMSA race without a yellow every 30 minutes !!! And see, no need to gather the field artificially to get a thrilling race. Great battles, overtakes, strategy. And errors are paid cash. The best wins, not the luckiest.
Congratulations for the Penske Porsche Team WEC Spa 2nd IMSA Laguna Seca 1st and 3 rd My fully respect to Roger Penske himself On Saturday in Spa/Europe On Sunday in Laguna Seca Monterey/USA Well I know he has a privat Jet and he can sleep on the 10h trip But hee, the man is 87 Years old ❤ And how about jet leg ?
Oogaa Booga Sir, Stoked to see your back and the two events did not develope a seriously tragic condition. Stay safe and AWARE WHEREVER YOU STEP FORWARD ON. Enjoy your content and look forward to the weekly episodes...drive on. . . OOGAA BOOGAA !! ps Thors Red Oak is looking good. Are there plans for more throughout the property? Think about installing a flag "pole" tree for the banners. Show your colors 🇨🇦🇨🇦
The scoring tree with classes color coded but reflecting the race order on the road much better than the tree split according to classes. Especially for the GTD the one split according to classes is rather confusing.
Great race, as ever. Not sure about some of the directing of the lead battle (I can understand when there's another lead battle, but not when it switches to a GTD running on its own)!
Weird how there wasn't a camera on any of the people being interviewed at the end of the race. Also strange how leaderboards never show the manufacturer. Very annoying.
Kinda weird that I'm driving a Porsche GTP 963 in Forza and then this is the next recommended video in my queue. I'd bet RUclips is monitoring everything on my computer. I guess it's too late to delete my history.
How did the #6 not get a penalty for overtaking under SC? IMSA is handing out so many stupid penalties for the slightest mistakes, especially when GTD am drivers to small mistakes, but overtaking under SC seems to be allowed now? That's actually insane...
12:20 Why would you post a graphic of “Overall Intervals” but only show it for the GTP/top 10 in the list. For the next 10 the graphic switches to measures of gap to leader. Why only provide interval timing for GTP when it’s more useful for GTD and GTD Pro than the meaningless gap-to-leader?
GTD was the lowest class when the IMSA SportsCar Championship was declared (which used GT3 cars and others like the porsche 911 north america), alongside GTLM (LM GTE cars) now GTLM doesn't exist, while GTD used solely GT3 cars from 2016, and in 2022 GTD Pro replaced GTLM
Classic strategic race for Penske No.6. They took track position by short replenishment at 1st FCY, and flying 2nd stint with lighter tank (Of course bit of luck of not deploying FCY).
The crowd seems very scarce. Shame. Especially comparing to Spa last weekend (88 000 people). Laguna Seca looks like a race in Covid times - no spectators
@@abcjelly Thats really sad to hear if true, especially since the US has some amazing tracks like Road America, Laguna Seca, The Glen, and Road Atlanta just to name a few.
I do not see why IMSA goes out of its way to be as confusing as possible. The graphics do not tell you the make of the cars, which will make it infinitely easy to follow if they did. Instead, there is a graphic that tells you what class despite it being color-coded. LOL. Plus, GTP, GTD Pro, GTD,... really. Just call what they are, Pro. Prototype, anything really. More importantly, put the make in graphic.
people think BOP is trying to make all the cars in a class equal. it isnt. BOP gets cars within plus or minus % of the median. so certain cars/teams are allowed to be +5% better than median and other cars are intentionally put at -5%. so that means the favored cars/teams have a +10% performance advantage over the unfavored cars/teams. not quite WWE level of fixing but IMSA is in no way a legitimate competition.
For anyone wondering the management of laguna seca tried to save money by paving the track with cheap matieral several deaths occurred and many crashes.
So the piece of debris fell off a porsche, got caught up and drug down the track by another porsche, then eventually properly removed with another porsche! 😅
Not only does the broadcast team stumble and stutter and bumble their way through every sentence, when they do complete the thought the information is completely wrong. Its like AI attempting to comment on a race live.
Those IMSA rules are absurd. 20 minutes of Safety Car that reshuffles the field and breaks the flow of the race for a simple debris on the track that could've been solved by one quick lap of FCY.
I really love the fact that IMSA makes it possible for us to watch the race live on YT, something the WEC can learn from.
They do, just not live.

Last 15 minutes was absolutely nail biting, and really good coverage, glad I am watching IMSA alongside WEC this year.

I race this map on Assetto Corsa all the time and getting to watch this helps me a ton!! i love this
23:41 such a lovely angle of the corkscrew
You can stand right next to the camera if you go to the track. In the shade, no less. With beer 100 yards away
Ridiculously steep in person
Shay Adam is amazing in the pitlsne. Never misses a single thing and is quickfire with everything happening around her.
Sis could of worked for forensics with those abilities but does what she loves. I love the radio le mans crew!
She's the only one that doesn't stutter through every sentence

can you please put manufacture logos next to the drivers names on the live scoring
Se vería mejor para ver la marca
I second this
Thank you IMSA! Another great race! Mr. Penske for President!
Great series, I watch as often as I can!

Having grown up at this facility, IMSA was, and still is one of my favorite events to grace the track. Another victory for ROGER PENSKI.
Fantastic coverage as usual!!❤
Always a great pleasure to follow you (from Switzerland). 👍😎
A fabulous race ! Well done to Tandy and Aitken, Porsche and Cadillac, great heroes 👏😎
cant wait to see 2025 laguna seca in person!
Its crazy f1 is the only race i can not watch on RUclips
Nice Race.. quite short but maybe created more Show😋🤙
I woak up to this all the time it’s always racing
Thanks for posting 💪🏾
Thanks you sooo much.

Amazing race! I love the way the mustang looks and sounds. I hope that with some more experience with the car it can be competitive next season
After last year's Cadillac troubles it's nice to see Bourdais have a great stint.
That No.12 Lexus looks sweeeeeet!
please keep doing these.
IMSA lookin good this season! 🤠
i would love if there was a lap counter somewhere on screen
Who else was caught off guard when they saw someone wearing a traffic cone on their head?
great game👍👍👍👍👍

thank you. we can see Watkins Glen racetrack from o ur roof.
Can't imagine if IMSA GTP and WEC Hypercar racing on the same track.. It's gonna be wild🔥
GTP = hypercar. They just use a different name for the class. Both are part of the LMdH rules.
@@SnakezF1 I know but imagine all GTP/Hypercar manufacturer racing together on a same track..That will be awesome
@@nasazmi7350 So the WEC grid + the Acura GTP🤷♂️
@@SnakezF1i think he meant both IMSA and WEC sharing a track on their calendars, like sebring
Porsche are gonna have an army of entries if that's the case lol
2 Jotas, 2 Protons, 1 JDC, 4 Penske racing entries
Go corvette racing, I'm your big fan😍🤩
Pfwoo, the pit cameras are fearless today.

Never understand why they called it gtd and it are gt3 cars...

as some1 from europe, i think americans prefer oval racing & street racing than road course racing.

1:16:38 wth? you're punishing a team for being fast at refueling? that's so dumb
The abuse of track limits on turn 5 is ridiculous. Laguna Seca should dig out some of that pavement and bring the gravel closer to the curb.
Damn that Germans at 3 categories
