Recently went to Daytona beach to buy a car and certainly thought about it. Usually try to catch a few hours as the official start of race season.

Sat Jan 27 – Sun Jan 28

All 24 hours will be on Peacock, NBC will have the 1st hour and the last 2 hours and USA will show ~13 more hours split up into 3 or 4 time slots.

I was interested to see the new GTP Lamborghini SC63 but they are waiting to debut at Sebring. It looked really fast in testing but it all comes down to how they implement the BoP for the car.

Hoping for good showings from the four Porsche 963 and 5 911 GT3 Rs.

Whatever weaknesses the car has, they will find them at Sebring.

I just hope they aren't better than the 499P or 963 it would be hard to cope with a tractor company beating either of my beloved teams. If they are I suppose I will have to use the excuse that they could never have done it without their "new" parents Audi and VW Group.

I’ve gone a few times. Highly recommend, especially at night when you can bend the rules a bit and get right up on the grandstand fence when the cars are flying by just feet away

Just a reminder the race has started. It is on NBC for the next ~20 minutes.

24 hour sprint race anymore. They're wrecking like they're battling in the final hour.

Used to be they ran about 90% to make the cars last. With this BoP bullshite reliability isn't much of an issue.

I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m enjoying seeing cars race around a track!

With this BoP


They hammered the 911 this week with BoP (+20 kg, and -1 degree change in minimum rear wing angle) and it is showing. They took the biggest hit in the GT cars after their pole and it appears IMSA went overboard as they are hurting on times.

I think the Ligier painted stars and stripes that has caused several at this point.

Need to just park that guy.
