Holy cow the coverage is bad.  Almost feels like whoever is in the production truck/studio is just hitting random buttons and hoping for the best.

Add to that the motor trend commercial breaks that seem to just happen at random intervals and it's a real fecal festival.

Advertising pays for the broadcast.  

I imagine it's hard for a tv producer to decide when to cut from live action with no scheduled "tv timeouts" as are scheduled in so many other sports.

But I agree:  it certainly does interrupt the flow of the presentation, though.

MTOD usually has a 7 day trial.  No commercials at all.

Is there oil on the track?

Pier-Guidi in the leading #51 Ferrari wipes out. I turn around for a minute and Kobayashi in the #7 Toyota has had contact and is having trouble getting going.

edit: and #7 is out!

This link has been rock solid for me so far - https://kick.com/go-racing

It would be nice if they'd all stop crashing into each other and go racing!

Yeah have motortrend as part of YouTube TV. Been in and out all day be whole race seems to be commercials or caution.

Getting the gamut of prescription medication commercials. Plaque psoriasis, hepatitis, eczema, vaginal cysts or something.

One Cadillac commercial. Why no Toyota, or even the Porsche ads they show during IMSA?

 

Also it's past the halfway point and it's great to see the race isn't a foregone conclusion already. Less than 30 seconds separate the top 4 of Toyota, Ferrari, Cadillac, and Porsche.

As of this typing, only one GTE ahead of the Hendrick car - impressive!

28th overall

Here's a link to the motorsport survey the announcers were talking about. As an fyi, it  takes maybe 3 minutes to complete if a spouse is talking about countertops, her cousin's birthday, or somethingorother.   No need to ask me how I know that. wink

If not Porsche (6th) then Caddy (3&4) with 4hrs please.

Not sure I have 4 hrs left in me. I need to work in the AM.

Looks like Ferrari - Toyota - Caddilac.  I honestly was not expecting this at all.

That GT Corvette group sure has done a lot of good work over the last couple of decades.

Congrats to Ferrari. Less than an hour from the end it wouldn't start in pit for about 20 seconds and things got tense.

Looks like passes from the outside are Pier Guidi's forte, he made a blip on my radar for this pass 10 minutes from the end of the 2021 Spa 24.

 

Hopefully 2 wins make up for the 2019 DQ for Keating.

Didn't the Vette have problems in the first hour which cost them some laps?

I know they had a crash in practice that left them scrambling to get it fixed before qualifying, where Ben put the car on pole.  Imagine if he had started racing much earlier, instead of at 40...

30 minutes left in the race and the Ferrari didn't want to restart. I felt that. cheeky Really impressive result for them. Glad it wasn't pouring for the end of the race so there wasn't any weather related last minute disasters. 


Also more Camaros need to enter Le Mans in general.
