https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP6oJGiX-Ds&t=6s This is old but imagine running up a driveway at 140mph in an F1 car with no barriers or anything  F1 cars aren't allowed to make competitive runs up the course anymore because of this.

yeah but I don't want my last thought to be "jesus, I just killed another open cockpit driver, maybe now they'll close them up" as I slip away into nothingness I realize my life was in vain and most likely another open cockpit driver gets hit in the face after we both die

IMSA is taking control of their race broadcasts and has gutted FOX's broadcast team. Bob Varsha, Justin Bell, and Jamie Howe are all gone. The on-air team following Daytona (which will have extra people for obvious reasons) will be Greg Creamer and Calvin Fish in the booth, with Brian Till on pit road. Broadcasts may also be done remotely starting at Sebring, with only Till actually in person. http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints/item/124910-pruett-big-changes-ahead-for-imsa-tv?showall What did Bob Varsha do in a previous life to not be allowed to leave for F1, not be able to moonlight on Barrett-Jackson, and now to be told he's been canned from IMSA?

Varsha is pretty good, that sucks. First major sanctioning body that figures out how to broadcast a package on a network while simultaneously streaming it via Youtube is gonna make a loving killing. e- poo poo, how has USAC or the WoO not figured out that they'd make more money just by hiring a camera crew and just going internet only? I bet they'd get at least a hundred thousand live viewers on the tube

Don't IMSA already stream all their poo poo or is that just an outside North America thing? I remember watching the PLM boat race on their site from the UK.

They do stream it, but if it's on TV it's like in-car's and you have to run Radio Le Mans or some poo poo I think. I honestly forget, the last IMSA race I tried to watch on my PC was Sebring last year IIRC.

Yep, at least last year it was all streaming on web and their app. I think RLM's American crew had the call on the streams, and also mirrored it to their own site audio-only. Pruett goes into details in the article but this 2016 set of changes seems like IMSA doing it for the sake of their manufacturers, as if to say "Fine, we'll try this your way". I bet they go streaming-centric sooner than later.

Well he's doing Formula E and Moto GP according to him... which are welcoming back people and saying we're going to commercials. Also he says he's in for Le Mans but who knows.

IMSA is now on Fox, but yeah, a final year of ALMS (2010 or 2011?) was mostly streaming on ESPN and it was weird. WEC has live streaming on the app for a reasonable price but there's no loving race archives, so no way to watch the whole broadcast except live. So close but ugh.

Bob Dillner will cover Monster Jam for FS1 this season. I don't watch, but somebody night. I don't know if Ken Stout or Greg Creamer were doing it before (they sound alike and both suck), but it's interesting to see Dillner back at FOX after he was calling races on the internet last year.

Scott Douglass (long time voice of Monster Jam that goes back to the late 80's) has been on the mic pretty much forever with a cavalcade of color analysts that pretty much all were the most bland as possible. Hopefully Dillner does well. Most the new trucks that are debuting in the MJ fleet this year are the now standard wacky looking 3d character with agricultural tires, but the Gas Monkey Garage generic 70's muscle car truck does at least look half decent by way it resembles an actual vehicle.

Exactly, a really poor marketing exercise and a personal movie for the owner so he can tout in the future, "Look what I did!!"  (not to imply that placing first in class at LeMans isn't impressive)

So this session the Mazda is currently leading. Who thought a year ago let alone a couple months ago Mazda would be up challenging. Helps to have a racing engine and not a mostly stock engine.

Mazda seems to be mostly concerned with getting the new AER engine bedded, too, and they haven't run a lot of laps. Will be cool to see them competitive.

Not super surprised, they've been testing the gas engine since last summer and the scuttlebutt is that it was a goddamn weapon. Hoping it means they're legit competitive, I have a soft spot for Mazda.

Dudley posted:It pretty much has to be the engine to be fair, the actual car qualifies for a free bus pass at this point. Yeah but the field in IMSA is only so strong. It's a former LMP1 Lola versus a team that never sorted out their current-rules P2 last year in the US enduros (Patron ESM), a current-rules P2 with a gentleman driver (Shank) and a gaggle of DPs. While the DPs may be alright it's hardly the level P2 is at in ELMS or the WEC. I bet they'll keep the motor and drop it into something new when the rules changes take over, probably the Riley/Multimatic chassis. This is a Mazda USA effort predominantly so they can take advantage of the IMSA rules. Hell, they probably were helping set that up themselves...(also reminder that other makes can drop GT3 engines into the new P2s in IMSA when the rules come online. That'll be a Bentley program sorted...)

VikingSkull posted:a Bentley proto with the Bentley GT3 engine in it would make my dick hard It would be one of the nominated LMP2 chassis but it's been rumored to happen. Bentley wants a program in the US, but didn't bring the GT3 car into the IMSA GTD (GT3) class because it's not fighting for the overall win. I guess that's the neat trick of these new rules for IMSA - allowing these cheaper prototypes (compared to old or current LMP1, though probably more expensive than DPs) to be the top class with a more open engine formula. Same chassis with the standard engine will be a secondary class in Europe and worldwide.
