14:35 pm EST on Saturday US time is the green flag per IMSA’s website, which is I think 06:35 am Sunday morning Melbourne time. So for us in Asia, early Sunday morning; for those in Europe, Saturday night.

Awesome, thanks. No idea why I didn't think to just look at their website.

Checking in.

Currently watching via nbcsn, is there any channels showing parts of the race when nbcsn aren't? Doesn't matter if it's elsewhere, or will I just have to stream via imsa.tv?

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.

All good, I'm in Australia. Guess I'll switch over to imsa soon. Thanks for the info.

Almost at the half way point and only 10s covering the top 4.

Been great so far. Shame I'll miss the last 6 or so hours due to sleep :)

Has IMSA website died for anyone else or is it just me having weird issues?

I just get 502 Bad Gateway when I go there. (From Australia)

Edit: Switched to the Youtube link.

Commentators talking about Rain at about 6am - 7am track time.

Woke up with 1 1/2 hours left to see red flagged for a second time. Fell back asleep until 30 mins to go.

What a crazy race in the end. Happy with the results in all classes.

Think I've been spoiled with most racing series I watch being aired on fox sports uninterrupted. I'm currently watching the Bathurst 12 hours of ads and forgotten how annoying that is.

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 just a tad out of date...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
