So at Watkins Glen, the Oreca was fastest in practice 1 (first Caddy P3), and the Nissan fastest in practice 2 (first Caddy P4). Might be our first non-Caddy win.

So every Cadillac gets the same BOP adjustments due to WTR's domination, right?

Huge crash in the 911 GT3 Cup race, it's a combined race with the GT3 Cup US and Canada drivers all running together. There's at least 10 cars involved in the esses. Haven't seen the replay as I tuned in late, but the race is red flagged and time reset as the top of the esses are turned into a gravel trap of oil dry.

I'm using the Fox Sports Go app for the first time and I like how even on the app I have to watch loving soccer overtime, what the gently caress is this

*edit* reloading the stream like 5 times finally loaded the race, this app is off to a good start.

6 Hours of the Glen was supposed to be on FS1 but because Fox hates racing it's been shoved to FS2 instead.

I'd say counterpoint: NASCAR, but they've been shoving it to FS1 instead of simply Fox.

Because he's the play by play dude. Their entire F1 team is amazing, sadly they don't have much else beyond them in terms of good announcers (though Bestwick is open now).

Diffey is absolutely awful (although for some reason bearable when he does Indycar). Boy did he not like it when someone sat down with three NBC F1 broadcasts and a stopwatch to figure out just how much time they were throwing away during each race.

Hobbs was great a decade ago but he really is getting along now, Matchett's last experience as a mechanic was at the turn of the century, and Buxton is just a twat.

NBC need someone with relatively recent experience in the sport, and they need to stop wasting 25% of the broadcast.

Also, there's a good chance that their contract with F1 prohibits them from badmouthing anything about the sport. Still waiting on Christian Sylt to follow up on that.
