      @@nkonya Isn't "the track" defined by the white line, not the curb? i.e., if you go all four wheels past the white line, even if you still have two wheels on the curb, you can get dinged for track limits, right? Well, if you look, you'll notice that there is no white line for a lot of this circuit; "the track" is defined by the white wall instead. This is typical for street circuits. At that particular corner, then, the curb is inside the track limits, ergo no penalty.

    @IMSA, Thank you so much for uploading this so that we may have an opportunity to see it with the excellent IMSA Radio coverage. One question however, why wasn't Shea Adam there? She's a pillar of the broadcast and, with the additonal expertise of jeremy and john takes IMSA beyond anything NBC has to offer in terms of broadcast quality. I think I read somewhere that the team was not on location for this race, maybe that is related if true and, since I typically consider this broadcast team to be my favorite in motorsports, that sounds disappointing, rather they ought to be given a blank check for what they do to bring attention to the sport :)

    GREAT RACE. Thanks IMSA and all the teams...
    The Acura's are just better than everyone else, since DPi days. Happy to see Porsche win but sad for Taylor. He had him, just slightly over cooked it. Would like to see the Caddy's more competitive but it seems they just off the pace compared to the Acuras at every track so far.
    Just an observation. From DPi of the past few years to GTP now, it seems the Acura's are just better and faster in turns and straights than everyone else. If they fall behind because of traffic etc, witn a lap or two they right back on whoever is in front of them. If the drivers don't make mistakes or get into an accident, they will always win regardless of track config. Really would like to see a more competitive race at the front end by all the cars.

    This is what the Peacock coverage should be like. NBC shoehorns too many commercials into the race and it makes it way too difficult to keep track of all the classes especially in this short of a race. When i watch WEC on motortrend i dont have to watch commercials and thus the coverage is better.

      Actually, no. But it's not your memory. Back in the 70s, F1 used to race on a course that included Ocean Boulevard, a block north past the current back straight. When CART arrived in the mid-80s, that had shifted to its current Seaside Way location, and the track became about a half mile shorter. However, these layouts did _not_ include the fountain complex, which was added at the turn of the millennium, bringing track length back to its original 2 miles.

    THank you IMSA for the content! I feel like the production here wasn't super good; a lot of battles and overtakes were missed that I thought were natural to include. Also the graphics, fonts in particular, are too tiny, with too little contrast, to make out. I get that this is 720p on YT but that's not my concern. Not all TVs are 60" 4k. Designers/companies/producers nowadays are way too timid about using the real estate they have available for clear, proper info. 2019's style was far better.
