As someone who was at Spa restarting for 1h40m is the best thing that happened to me in a long time
SAME 😭😭
I was there too and the all the crowds cheering when they announced the restart is one of my most memorable moment
@iwqkura I was at Kemmel when they announced it and we could hear the grandstand explode in the distance 🤣
After the 2021 F1 race, you guys deserved it!
I was whatching at home, it was awesome when they give us that news
F1: Erm, guys..? We're about to exceed the race time limit, let's do two laps behind the safety car so the fans can't get a refund ☝️🤓
WEC: I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL‼️‼️‼️📢📢📢
I left and came back randomly just because and I noticed the cars were under a vsc and thought "no freaking way". Kudos WEC, it may have cost a Ferrari victory but I'm so glad it was done
Although it wasn't really the 6 Hours of Spa, it needed another three minutes to reach the full time limit
@reptongeek it was the 6 hours of Spa, we got 6 hours of racing, it would have been the 4 hours and 16 minutes of Spa if they hadn't corrected it
Yes those 2 laps are definitely gonna ruin the whole weekend for you and would have saved time. This is no point to make about F1, F1 is laps, WEC is time. Would make sense in WEC but not in F1, plus in F1 its not like they don't resume the race if there is a considerable number of laps left.
@@lichh64 The way F1 works now is that you get a 3-hour window in which to have the 2-hour race. If there is significant delay in starting the race (extremely poor weather, for example), then they go racing for whatever amount of time they have left. This happened in Japan 2022.
"Nearly 8 hours for the 6hours of Spa" As it should be, well done WEC.
Did you see the rules about it .
The true winners from that race were the fans and motorsport as a whole. Thank you the WEC for doing this 🙏
Steeling over 2 minutes from the leaders and completely manipulate the race result definitely was not making motorsport a true winner. Fans were happy to see the cars circulating again, superficial fans may have even enjoyed because of their lack of sense for justness, righteousness, fairness and other positive values but generally I know of people that were really upset for administratively taking the clear victory from one team and as a gift hand it over to another team. How the motorsport could be the winner in that? I would have to be completely blind to think that.
@@racingsportscars7023 you are a ferrari fan not a motorsport fan.
@@racingsportscars7023 Bro just wanted to see Ferrari win, how boring.
2:00 "that's the problem... there's no runoff" - no, thats fantastic.
Yep that is the instant way to fix tracklimits, just replace all the runoff areas with gravel.
WEC is starting to become more interesting. Cars are good, nice battles and crashes (safety is really good).
Starting to become? You're missing out if you're not watching. WEC and IMSA put on fantastic endurance events
WEC is fantastic bro
@@itsoscargil Last years races were mostly to formula (aside from LeMans). Toyota running away with it easily, then the Ferraris and the Porsches, then the rest of the field all the time.
This year it's a lot more variable, Quatar was clearly Porsche's day, Imola should have been Ferrari if they don't fuck it up, Toyota pulled a masterclass instead. This time was also up in the air, and now it was the privateer Porsches that looked strong instead of Penske.
And the cars make a great noise!!
Starting? This series was amazing during the Audi/Toyota/Porsche years and again starting last year with the introduction of the Hypercar formula.
As a fan watching trackside that hour and 40 was one of the best periods of racing I've seen in a long time
m(_ _)m
As a fan watching on the TV it felt exactly the same.😁
This is the golden age of sports car racing. PLEASE do something so I can watch it legaly and in HD and in my TV in Mexico. I'LL PAY I PROMICE
Does the wec mobile app work in your country ?
use a VPN
As Indonesian we can see it on youtube hehe
@@setya4540 live?
@@uno_1762 Yep
FIA, ACO and IMSA have done something out of this world with these championships, amazinng.
I was there. I remained hopefull for maybe a 1 or 2 lap sprint during the red. When time kept ticking down i was on the cusp of going "its so over". But then. When the announcers went "sike" i reached a state of unparalleled hype. Then i ascended into the "we're so back" dimension as i misheard the first call and thought it was 40 minutes. But no. We got the full 1 hour and 40 minutes. Amazing
Any new videos coming soon?
I was there too, i'm so happy !!! When they put the red flag, i was at the pif paf curb, and then i walked all the way to the pitlane just to hear that they'd put the time lost to race again, we, with my wife, were astonished by the respect that WEC race directors have to their fans, we LOVE WEC
Loving this highlights format! Also props to the organizers for the decision to do the remaining two hours, that's the way to respect fans that attended the event.
I was coming to comment the same thing!!
I watched it live on Eurosport qith my wife and 1 month old baby girl. It was an amazing race!
Thank you for these highlights! Such a tight class, the Hypercar. Love it.
Glad to see WEC actually do the right thing for once
Super extended highlights 👍
We are literally living through the prime of wec. New manufacturers jumping on, good competition, a lot of attention by the fans. I love it
Feel bad for Earl Bamber, he was absolutely flying
same bc if things played out their way that would have been a potential podium finish
Then Almost flying…
@@BengtsonJnot almost😂
The porche brake checked him
Though I feel bad more towards WRT LMGT3 team than the Cadillac, I think they also suffered from their crash, with apparently Cadillac got a grid penalty for the next race (Le Mans 24h).
God, I love sportscar racing
4:22 That's a wonderful sight. 10:49 Love to see it.
Thought the same!
WEC camera work has always been masterclass (except their onboards)
Lovely camera with all those cars and with amazing fights. Bring on Le Mans!
In fact one of the best and most action-packed long-distance races.
All of that ballast on the Proton #99 963 was the weight of Julien Andlauer's massive balls
Cadillac seems to have a habit of huge wrecks on Spa
Yeah, too bad. Almost got Proton there and boom!
The Porsche caused the wreck, he moved over and tried to block the cadillac from passing when he knew the cadillac had the run on him..driver of the Porsche should be suspended at the least.
They have a right to defend their position @@user-cf5yw5kf2y
WEC is the best. Thank you for resuming the race and making this great series available on TH-cam. Video and commentators are superb.
For a motorsports fan this weekend was magical. Incredible races by WEC and IMSA, we are in the thick of sports car racing.
WEC is where it's at ..... F1 go do one !!!
Bot
Best race in a while ( and i go to spa a lot ) . Watching the hypercars twitch through pouhon and the gt's battle it around brussel and jackie ickx into pouhon was just magic. the fact ALL the temporary stands were open and free to use was an absolute winner. The sun was shining. We all got a little sunburnt and the search for water that didn't come from a tap in the toilets was endless ( camping building at malmedy / brussel btw ) . Just a great day and the best yet ( also the most expensive. In 2015 it was €25 at the gate, in 2024 it was €70. )
It feels like the clock started early
5 seconds….. wowee
Excellent commentary! Thank you for making these available.
WEC probably has the most detailed and informative racing broadcast overlay graphics while being clean and easy to follow. This makes it fun to watch a race for 6 hours or more.
Without these I am not sure if I would even watch the broadcast for more than 30 minutes. Great job for the team that made these
Was there in person and had a great time. Great job to every one involved!
GT3’s were absolutely slaughtered by Hypercars this race
(I don’t mean the gap it’s obvious, I meant the accidents that happened)
Specifically the BMWs. One of which a BMW prototype dumped a JOTA Porsche into. And they are all Team WRT, both Prototype and GT.
@@ceeinfiniti1389 yeah that had me pissing myself when i realised it was the BMW that caused the crash, paired with rossis "Whos that fuck" seeing the Jota hit his car not knowing it was his own sister car that caused that whole thing goes well haha
@@herozero8809Mamamia!! Who's that fuk?! _Rossi said calmly_
where tf was the BMW supposed to go? It was already almost on the grass. You can't anticipate the car infront of you moving to the inside like this on turn entry
We need 8h of spa next year ! With that much competition 6h flies too fast
Snow or no snow?
@@bmstyleeno snow
@@bmstylee We have to put it back to March for that one. It's quite unlikely in May.
What the WEC needs is just better marketing and promotion, because this series is so underrated. Maybe it's also just a matter of time before it blows up like F1 did
they should make it accessible to the average viewer. Free
One of the most dramatic endurance races I’ve ever seen. Great work on extending the race length
Sound of Cadillac is Love!
What a race to remember! You really, REALLY couldn't script this.
thank you for this very good Highlights
2:23 an overtake in Radillon/Eau Rouge. Amazing ❤️❤️
Fantastic stuff from the best race format of all, makes F1 look like a sterile, hyped bore.
This is great stuff to watch on TH-cam!
This Race was awesome
Great racing, superb circuit. Spa, we love you.
What a day that was. Thank You WEC and SPA ❤
Amazing race
Despite the setbacks (red flag) it was a great race, a lot of excitement, it really is the rebirth of the golden era of motorsport, I support United and the Iron Dames, I love endurance 🏁🏁🏁
WEC has been incredible this year. Such a great race
Congrats to Richi Lietz! He shows time and time again, what the combination of experience and excellence can deliver!
That was such a good race 🔥
What a race that was. Bring on the 24 hours of Le Mans!!
What a Race !!! the best racing series atm !!
These slow motion shots are so insane :O
So good they have brought back the gravel in La Source. That has massively improved fair racing. It was far to easy to gain some advantage and carry that all the way down the straight.
Now that was a real thriller! A proper highlights clip edited also.
Greatest event I ever visited ❤️
Three different races, three different winners. WEC is up good.
🎉 Double Porsche 1-2, in GTP and LMGT3!
what a fantastic race
1-2 PORSCHE in both categories!! Awesome ! ... what a great race!
Super cool, thanks Rahul.
I was talking in Marty's live cast Tuesday about I want to build a Mad Max / Road Warrior terrain track with an armored semi chased by digital marauder vehicles.
Jorge got excited about that idea, lol.
This was epic
awesome event!
More races next season please 🤞🏻🤞🏻
amazing year of racing
Great credit to the Jota Porsche team for the victory, but once again the decisions of the race director affected the final result of the race; they should have let everyone leave under the same conditions.
Great WEC ❤
I love the Hypercar Class!
First race ever, it was one of the best day in my life ❤
The overtaking and the battles in this sport are amazing, if the same sort of racing happened in F1 it would be remembered for decades.
Cool race.
❤ Spa Francorchamps ❤ WEC Hypercar ❤ Bucketlist ❤
Awesome race and I was surprised for it to be restarting with 1:44 to go. We were on the pitwalk when they restarted it, great experience
I'm already counting days to Le Mans ❤
Hard work do pays of! WEC rules ... love this ... hope Vettel will be part of it and will collect some more german fans.
Great highlights, huge improvement this season. Would like a little better clarity displaying the results at the end though
You should live-stream these races here
Buy a subscription you cheapskate
I remember the year Bamber took himself and his team-mate out of the Daytona 24 Hours. He could use being benched for Le Mans if he's going to be as dangerous as this.
Spa never dissapoints
10:50 gotta love what WEC has become!!
Cant wait for Le Mans coming next
what a W race
Stunning! I would almost go as far and say that this is as entertaining as Group C racing in the 80s/90s
Where can I watch WEC legally live in high quality...?
Official WEC-TV, App or Online
@@btgatv
yes but you are going to have to check the site because what is available will depend on where you live. In my case, I live in Canada, the broadcast rights in Canada happened to be held by Discovery Velocity and Motor Trend... so as a result of that, we don't get the LeMans broadcast nor the race at COTA via the app/website.
I will repeat check the website for details, it will vary.
already am waiting for Le Mans 24h, hoping to see another exciting race like last year, Toyota vs Ferrari
no no, let it be exactly like last year; Toyota vs Ferrari vs Peugeot vs JOTA(the better run porsche because Penske dropped the ball horrifically in setting up the car last year vs JOTA who'd had the car a month) VS Glick. everyone (except vanwall) could have one the race at one point last year, hopefully its the same again this year
Nah, Toyota is already fallen behind, so for me, it's Ferrari vs. Peugeot vs. Porsche (JOTA).
@metaliczic96 it's Ferrari and Porsche for sure, but i expected more for Cadillac
@Pattinson1004 Ah, i love Caddy Hypercar engine sound. But still, i hope Toyota still has what it takes for the most prestigious endurance race event in the world.
I would hope something miracle happens with Proton Porsche. I see something with underdogs.
That caddy crash 😳 god damn
Congrats for Jota🏁🏁🏁
Imagine the scenes of an Illot Indy 500 win.
On ya Jota nice one ⛳
Who is absolutely pumped for Le Mans!!
isottafraschini the ultimate backmarker
😂
The new Vanwall. But still, this is their 1st season in WEC, so don't be too harsh on them.
10:47 awesome shot!
Was this live streamed on youtube anywhere?
Yeah men
RPABLO and Amplifiednl
I heard them say Sean Gelael's name at 7:35 and I instinctively said "bruuuh" so thank you Josh Revell
Firms win is my favorite part
Sorry for the Caddy, but glad that both drivers are ok!
Damn Hertz Jota finally getting the overall win in WEC? Well done 👏
Great work from the stewards and organizers to get the race going again. A smart decision which everyone was happy with (apart from the Ferrari fans who feel they got screwed....can't make everyone happy)
Loads of manufacturers, great battles, great organization rewarding the fans. WEC (along with MotoGP) is the sport to watch right now. Bring on Le Mans.
yup the new fans that came through with ferrari hate the rule that everyone hated at first, yet have grown to love, because its the rules worst case scenario which happens 1/50 races or so, wait till they hear about the 3 car safety cars at leman and let hell brake loose if the ferrari looses time and ends up in a different sector because of it
I really can’t understand how you can say smart decision. Really people don’t like thinking.
(Also moto gp it’s probably the worst races, the organisation said that they want make more sprint during the weekend because the only part interesting of a race it’s the start where incident can happen, and you call the best sport)
@@Giorgiopandemonio yes it'd be way better to end the race and have the 90k fans that went to the race and millions watching globally go home disappointed having only seen 4 hours of racing just so Ferrari keep their top spot.... come on now!
Also "the only part interesting of a race it’s the start where incident can happen", funny you say that when the most exciting moment of the Le Mans MotoGP race on Sunday was the last 5 laps.
@@herozero8809 They vastly improved the Safety car system at LM for last year. They collect them back up from the 3 SCs before restart and also separate the classes so it's less messy with them mixed. I hope they will keep that for this year, I see no reason not to.
@@kukuc96 yeah it was much better, still i could imagine hell breaking loose for the ferrari fans if what used to happen in those safety car system before happend to them.
Does anyone know the song at the end? Also fantastic race! Unfortunate for Ferrari but team Jota did a fantastic job!
So happy for Will Stevens and Calum Ilott. Fantastic race yet again and massive credit to the organisers for extending the race after the red flag.
This ONE race is more entertaining than an ENTIRE F1 season combined.

F1 in its own right is fine, but I can't relate to cars which are basically just front for anything BUT automotive. Porsche, Ferrari, Toyota, BMW, Lexus, Chevrolet, etc...THATS what people relate to, not a can of toxic 'energy' drink, ad nasuea.

Wish i could be in France next month for the big-one!
It's a lot more fun than F1.
That American hypercar 🥵
11:04 still saved it incredible!
