Thank you IMSA! These full race uploads are a savior for us Americans. Unfortunately as a hardcore IMSA and endurance racing fan the NBC broadcasts don't interest me. Having timing and scoring up, knowing that there are some amazing battles going on on track that we are missing during a commercial brake or for a pre recorded piece is super frustrating. I've started just waiting for you to upload the full race rather than watch the NBC broadcast. I wish there were an option for us Americans who are deeply invested and knowledgeable about endurance racing to watch the full race live and uninterrupted. I happily paid for track pass when that was an option and loved watching the commentary free action during the commercial brakes.

If anyone is interested I vlogged the whole race from the track and went into the paddock and spoke with some teams as we looked over the cars. Video's over on my channel! Thank you IMSA & Mid-Ohio for yet another amazing race weekend. This was my fifth year in a row the event gets better every year!

Awesome racing. Thanks imsa and thanks John.

What another great race and coverage. I live in Europe, so these replays are very much appreciated. Can’t watch live but this is just as exciting. FYI if your watching this later #70 caught up to win the GTD class, but was later penalized for failing to meet the weight requirements. So they were put in the back of the class as a result.

Thank you IMSA..another great job done by everyone...your hosts John and Jeremy are the best in the business...Shea Adams does a great job in the pits.

Finally i have catch up with IMSA. I watched all Races from the first to the last on this channel

I love being able to catch up on races within the week of the race being run. We appreciate you IMSA

Thank you so much for making these races available for your fans!

Sad they won't be coming back to Mid Ohio but in their defense the track was treating that weekend like a club event and upgrades are needed at the facility

Thanx IMSA for the upload! 🇺🇲👍

Thank you, IMSA ❤

Love You IMSA from 🇮🇹

Was there and was an awesome race!

Montoya was incredible 🏁

Thank you for the race!

Gracias IMSA. Abrazos.

So good to watch nice and beautiful videos like this thanks for sharing..,.,.,.,,.

I've been watching Montoya do this sort of thing for a long time now. His way of getting ahead in a race is to punt someone off of the track.

The leader board only shows the drivers without the car brands now, it is a step back for attracting new audiences.

Driving is fluid dynamics. Clumping is something you see in things like sewage systems. If you wanna know why clumping happens. that's where to look.

Australia's Mt Panorama, Bathurst track has the start line 160m past the finish line. I'm assuming to have the majority of the field starting on the pit straight

Even if Montoya was quicker, he's still expected to make the pass cleanly. In Jeremy's view, he didn't, which is why he criticized that move. He wasn't upset that Montoya made a pass for the lead (because as you rightly point out, it was bound to happen eventually), but rather the manner in which is was done.

Is there a rule against taking old tires and stacking new ones between them to heat them that way for some sort of temp? Seen this done in the mount Panama race this year and was wondering why other's dont do this idea if they dont have tire warmers to get temperature.

Also, the commentators often say that "There are no tire-warmers in IMSA. You can leave them out in the sun, but that's about it." Which raises the question: How for could teams take sun-warming if they wanted to. Build a little greenhouse, with a two-way mirror on the outside that lets radiation in but not out. Make the bottom of it reflective. Put it on a big piece of tarmac, and try to make the bottom a thermal conductor and the top a thermal insulator. Put some machinery inside that slowly spins the old tires against the new ones, like a rotisserie dynamometer. Voila, warm tires without tire warmers.

once again thx IMSA. it was clear that the Cadillac was the fastest car on track. the only way for Taylor to win this race was to run the Cadillac off the road n hope he gets away with it. have watched IMSA for many years n have seen Taylor do this many times. that been said well done to all winners. looking forward to the next race.

The parking lots are relatively empty. How do they pay the bills????????

From a practical perspective, it's the best way to keep the lights on. Manufacturers bring big money, and they don't want to look bad in what for them is primarily just a marketing exercise. Because they treat racing as a business venture and not a hobby, they also don't want to spend inordinate amounts of development money for performance gains that a casual viewer likely won't even notice. BOP'ing their disparate cars allows them to showcase their brands without looking slow or breaking the bank. To fill out grids with privateer efforts, it's best to attract funding from gentleman drivers. For these guys, this is a labor of love, and they often have a particularly strong love for a specific manufacturer. Because a BMW is very different from a Ferrari is very different from a Porsche, BOP is necessary to allow them to compete with each other. From a fan perspective, it mainly serves to make storylines easier to follow. With as many as 5 classes sharing the track and each car having up to 4 drivers and car counts reaching over 60, it can be difficult to tell who you're even looking at (particularly with closed-cockpit cars), let alone find favorites to root for and keep track of their journeys. Thus, it's easier to pick a manufacturer and root for them. Plus, while you're not likely to get more than a fleeting moment's interaction with your favorite driver, you can drive a direct relative to your favorite car every day for years.

Since at least 2019 IMSA has had a really good system with icons, names, times etc. Far ahead of WEC, BTCC, F1, whatever you care to name. Now I fear someone's re-inventing a really messed up wheel. :/

It appeared to me the mfr. data was on the "crawl" most, if not all, of the time (instead of the usual last lap time, which is some pretty useless info, IMO). That seems like a better place for it: the logo graphic is so tiny in the "box" that some are unreadable.

1:44:07 While I agree with the call the stewards made, I feel Jeremy's explanation isn't right. Van der Zande did spin precisely because Taylor pushed him so wide that he had almost the entire car on the kerb, and as the kerb is not wide he inevitably caught grass as well. It was not as if Taylor pushed van der Zande off and then van der Zande separately spun on his own, not at all. Technically Taylor left space for the left side wheels of van der Zande which is why the stewards got it right.

If you line up one hundred topless women are you gonna say there’s too many boobs? No. No you’re not. No such thing as too many cars.

The no call on Ricky Taylor is wrong. His move on the outside was out of desperation in which put him in the grass. He clearly drove the 01 off the track. And the announcers of course back the decision with a completely brown nose explanation. Course that's what their paid to do. At the end of the day it's still dirty driving. But hey NASCAR owns IMSA it's only a matter of time before they ruin it as well.
