Yes, week after Sebring.

Coverage doing it's very best to not show any on-track action.

They dont even want to show us the action let alone let us hear it....

google it, you'll have to deal with some popups and ads, but, they go away. Low-def stream, but, it's stable.

Thanks. Honestly it's not much worse from IMSA.com and their "High Def"

Erm, no. They said they're still going to compete in the series and just did st pete because they felt like it.

That's FOX for ya. I've learned to live off the live stream.

That's last I heard.

I never want to hear Chris Neville say 'data' again.

Cadillac is in this race? Who's the pit reporter?

The decision was made on Wednesday that Turner Motorsport will enter Pirelli World Challenge GT class, just one week before the first round in St. Petersburg, Florida. Will Turner commented, “After completing two races with the IMSA run series, our partner, NorthWest Value Properties, has given us the freedom to explore an alternative series that is more established. World Challenge has always been a great racing series for Turner, so it was decided to try the sprint racing format to see if it's something we want to pursue on a more full time basis.”

Will Turner said that there were several factors that went into the decision for the team to run in Pirelli World Challenge. One being the team’s partner NorthWest and their push to enter a more established and proven series. The Turner team is also interested in exploring a “sprint series” with a different race format and conceivably less operating costs compared to an endurance series.”

Dane Cameron added, “I am excited to race in the Pirelli World Challenge. The series visits some top notch venues around the US, including some great street courses, which I love. I am eager to get into any Turner BMW, so this will be a fun change of pace. I know that Turner began their professional race program in World Challenge, so it will be good to get the blue and yellow BMWs back into the series.”


Right.

That is about as bad a blunder as the mere existence of Taro Koki in the pits from two years ago.

Yes, Taro Koki, remember that moron? Utterly clueless.

[Louie Loper]

10 wanting the 42 penalized sounds like, wonder if he feels the same about pushing 2 cars wide at turn 1.

[Rodger Davies]

Are the conspiracy theorists ready for a Yacaman penalty? :P

[blankfile]

yeah dp's whining about rubbing from a p2, oh the irony

[Rodger Davies]

Edit: n/m

At least GTLM is fun.

3 Breaks in a row? Forget This. Im out.

[jasonjessica09]

I switch to the Corvette on board cam during the broadcast commercials. This race is pretty darn good to watch so far. So far thumbs up to the P/GTLM format only.

Fox/IMSA hasn't learned since the D24. Back from commercial for a 5-second teaser and then another commercial

Right.

You conveniently forgot to copy the last paragraph of that article.

[Simmi]

It's really hard to watch.

Yep, and where are the conspiracy theorists that said it would be a Porsche walk-away?

Stupid, three minutes of commercials, 20 seconds of racing, and more adverts. Boy they make this ****ing hard to be interested in. I think I'll follow you out.

[Maelochs]

Yacaman went from third to fifth in a lap during a commercial --- nothing important I guess.

[Articus]

I find it very bizarre (though I can't complain) how there have been no Yellows. They're have been legitimate accidents in this race as opposed to a car keeling over on the side of the road at sebring bringing out the yellow...

Is this a new invention and is this to circumvent some kind of "ads per hour" tv law or something? I watch quite a lot of sports streams from US channels and never seen something as annoying and dumb. Even the regional FOX Sport channels do not seem to do this.

If they have commercial commitments, they might not be able to afford to get out of them without losing those sponsors.
