harperdc posted:IMSA Radio remains an option always for live events, and if you're outside of the US, IMSA's live stream of the race uses the Radio commentary team. NBC is going to want to show NASCAR and IMSA that they won't gently caress up the race coverage like FOX. I fully expect them to gently caress the commentary up later in the year but for the first race of their new contract for sports coverage, they're going to be interested in not ruining it right out the gate. orange juche fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Jan 18, 2019 |

freeranger posted:Checking in. Imsa.tv will broadcast the entire race, but you will be geoblocked if you're in the US or Canada. If you have a VPN you can just get the IMSA.tv stream anyways, and its superior to any other streaming experience as it has the Radio LeMans commentary team. NBC Sports has good commentators, but there's too many commercials imo.

77 ate a turbo, and it will not be coming back out. It probably ingested vanes on the intake side into the cylinders if they're not even going to attempt to repair it.

Analysis: For Mazda's IMSA program, it's 51 and, unfortunately, counting.quote:
I honestly feel sorry for John Doonan, because he has had to watch the team come up agonizingly short every time for the last 5 years.  If they were using even a V6 engine they would have a better shot. Cranking 40 psi of boost through a 2 liter 4 banger does not bode well for it surviving in an endurance environment. orange juche fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Jan 30, 2019 |

Also the worst thing about the Mazda prototype program flailing so hard unsuccessfully is that Mazda might wind up losing their taste for supporting grassroots racing efforts, or that John Doonan might just give up and get replaced by someone else who doesn't give a poo poo about racing beyond balancing an accounting sheet, which would lead to a significant paring back of their current motorsports involvement. Like, if you're involved in a Mazda Motorsports sanctioned series, you can get really good deals on OEM performance parts, and replacement equipment for your car that you are racing, as well as contingency awards (cash awards in GT classes, or credit towards performance parts if you're driving a Miata) for finishing in the top 5 spots in an endurance race. orange juche fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Jan 30, 2019 |

Basticle posted:Mazda already abandoned the Road to Indy so... Yeah Mazda pulling back from Road to Indy sucks really hard, a ton of the rookies who qualified for for the 2018 Indy 500 came up through the Mazda program. Who knows what's going to happen to that program in the future. Apparently Mazda is still paying for USF2000 and Pro Mazda for 2019, but they've already taken their name off everything.

harperdc posted:GTLM wouldn’t be any cheaper. Besides Corvette (which is adding a car for the WEC Sebring 1000), all of the GTLM teams are running development both for IMSA and the WEC, and possibly supplying cars for the Am class in ELMS. It’s a different animal than DPi. Yeah the difference between what Mazda Motorsports is doing and what a make like Audi does for their GT3 customers is night and day. Audi is required to provide logistical support and all sorts of poo poo (car transport if necessary, technical experts on site at races, parts trucks ready to go) for their GT3 customers all over the world, whereas Mazda Motorsports gives you a deal via their performance parts portal. Audi is a lot bigger and can afford that kind of support, I don't think Mazda could though.

They've already confirmed the 2019-2020 schedule and Super Sebring is slated for "March", which means they will align with whatever IMSA puts out for the 12h. As far as what is going to be racing? Who the gently caress knows, maybe they will do 8 hours of lawnmower racing.

https://twitter.com/thebpillar/status/1125194610098221056?s=20 Oliver Jarvis the fastest guy in the field that weekend quite obviously, I wonder if Mazda will be able to keep him next year or someone like penske will swoop in with a shitpile of money and the promise of a working car. The thing that really stands out is JPMs rock solid consistency, lap to lap to lap, sure he was a good bit slower than his top 3 laps, but his variation was only 0.67% outside his fastest laps, even with traffic and battling with other drivers. orange juche fucked around with this message at 19:22 on May 6, 2019 |
