Alonso noticed the McLaren F1 car is half decent this year and is too busy spending his time standing under Gilles de Ferran's window with a boombox trying to get his seat back

I am surprisingly OK with this. I'm just used to "WE MUST HAVE EXCLUSIVITY" being code for "gently caress you if you're not our market"

They still ratfucked the other group out of the exclusivity, which is sure awesome!

Besides the WEC App, is there any tv channels showing the Spa 6hr live?

Looks like Eurosport in Australia is only showing an hour or two which I'm assuming is the end of the race.

Is is being shown on Eurosport 2 or another channel anywhere?

Edit: Should have just googled that. Looks like Fox Sports in the US is the best bet for watching it.

Can anyone tell me if the commentators would be the same?

I don’t think Fox Sports will show you poo poo, WEC moved to Velocity or whatever it’s now called at the beginning of the superseason.

Hmm, yup, probably should have checked the date of the article I was reading... 2016..... just a tad out of date...

Motortrend in the US according to this https://storage.googleapis.com/fiawec-prod/assets/fileuploads/5c/ca/5ccaa5bc9ea43.pdf

The track loved it they made a shitload of money on it, but I'm not sure if all the fans loved it because the people who bought double header passes looked like loving zombies shuffling out after all that racing, I think it might have overloaded some people.

I was there from when the gates opened until about 11am sunday.

Absolutely loving worth it, holy poo poo. Cannot wait for next year. Wish the WEC had more cars though, track seemed really empty for long periods of their race.

I did Daytona this year also, and I highly doubt I'll ever go back. poo poo show all around, and not just the weather.

Sebring was just as wet, but at least it was warm(er) when it wasn’t raining.

What didn't you like about Daytona? It was my first endurance race in person so my frame of reference isn't great.

It's crazy that the Aston seems to get better power going uphill than the BMW. Really good racing.
