David Land has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Can anyone in good conscience say that this year's race is better than this one?

IMSA.com has had race coverage even in America. During the Fox commericials the racing is still on there even though its quiet.

I'm so infuriated at this coverage. I'm at a loss for what to do as far as watching my favorite thing on earth. If they stay here until green, of the last 26 minutes of the race, 11.5 will have been aired by Fox.

Meanwhile, Colin Braun wants a fake debris caution to bunch up the field.

Maybe they were expecting a lot of FCYs today...and that why there's so many commercials

The racing is good though... When you can see it

Yup! I was really looking forward to this race. But it seems like there is always something wrong with every race.

Basically pick your poison: Long cautions, weak coverage, uneven competition, two of the above, all of the above.

Scott Pruett is driving pretty darn good. Not washed up at all.

Nice to see Fox guarantee the last seven minutes of the race commercial-free.

Why is this so bad? Is the race still on Fox Sports 1 or a more mainstream version? In the UK it's not legal to show this proximity and frequency of adds.

Yeah that's the main problem for me, I'd only watch that if it had audio and announcers

I guess the logic behind this commercials-teaser-commercials cycle (plus another cycle right away) is that they can charge more for the latter set of commercials? Or then meant to counter-battle "commercial break => kitchen & fridge time", since it confuses the moment when it is really returning to the race.

But this is really off-putting and annoying. Never seen similar thing on US channels (NBC, regional FOX Sports channels).

So with only pro classes TUSCC has gone from a total farce to 'meh'. :/

Was this the best they had?

I've never seen anything like it either. It is absolutely infuriating.

They like the fox sports theme song so much they use this to get to play it more.

TUSC finally produced some respectable racing but still managed to find a way to f**k the fans.

Really enjoyable race, decent on track product with very good commentary, well deserved win. Negatives are the amount of breaks in the coverage and how little we could see, bit if people are complaining about not seeing enough then it's a step forward......

Boosted DP's win over P2's again. Tube frame crap wagons with big motors win.
Nascar equalization wins again also. LeMans in a few weeks!!!

The race itself was very good and very clean. I am very happy there was no FCY. Looking forward to P/GTLM at Laguna Seca now.

I think Core Porsche and SRT Viper will be disapointed with there runs. First win for the C7R!!! :-)

Not sure if that's supposed to be a joke or not but....I'll just say that level of thinking is right on par with IMSA and TUSC.

Glad TUSCC finally had a clean race, some decent action but nothing too spectacular. Kind of felt like the Indycar race last week.
Very happy to see Corvettes finish 1-3, finally delivering on that C7 performance

In terms of lap times the BoP in P is good, but power is still an issue.
