We, who did not see it on TV for some reason, are like a bunch of addicts waiting for the next fix. Daytona 24 means the season has finally started and we have lots of great racing ahead. The cars this year are just amazing especially in the GT categories. Thank you IMSA for posting so quickly and for organizing this great series.
Agreed. Was bewildered by Motors TV not showing it. They showed the whole 24 hrs of Sports car racing in the desert the other week. With respect to that series, it was a good race with lots of intrigue but IMHO it isn't as good as WEC and the other series run on the same lines such as this. I have my grandkids on the way over this pm. Bless you IMSA and TH-cam!
I'm very thankful that IMSA continues to allow thier product to be viewed on You Tube without restriction. This is one of the few sports I can enjoy without subscribing to the Cable TV leash. Thank You IMSA.
+Stersss tell them to go watch any amateur kart race (the de facto feeder to top-tier motorsports like LMP1, F1, and Indycar). none of those drivers have even hit puberty yet.
Thanks IMSA for this beautiful broadcast! European WEC broadcast can learn a lot from you. The WEC is only focussed on the P1 cars. Here you see everything!! And while im a big Le Mans fan i must say that the Daytona 24 is my overall favourite.
Loved Tom Kristensen's comments about circuits. Tracks in the USA and Australia (I'm an Aussie) are more old school tracks where if you make a mistake, you pay either with a hit on the wall or you end up in a sand trap or have to go across the grass to get back on track. In Europe with all of that asphalt runoff area at a lot of tracks (e.g. Paul Ricard) drivers don't respect the edge of the track. I watched the Blancpain Endurance race from Paul Ricard a few weeks back and drivers were going off the track everywhere trying to pick up extra speed yet they weren't being penalised for it.
Thank you so much for bringing this race, to us, who do not live in the States! Love this series. Great coverage, great racing, great cars, and superb drivers, what could a racing fan ask more?!
OH MAN OH MAN!!! I watched the live broadcast from the app and only missed approx.6 hrs of it, but I still get excited watching it again. :)))))) Those GTLM and GTD machines are sooo damn sexy!!!!! Most people want a regular Lambo while I want a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 like No.11! This is some exciting racing, in my opinion better than Formula 1. And the commentators from the IMSA app do such a great job at getting you excited and glued to your phone watching the race. Same ones that commented the 2015 Liquid Moly 12hrs of Bathrust and which I can't stop watching the last 30 mins of that race, just as crazy as the end of this race! THANKS IMSA!!!
I think you guys at IMSA are a better series in terms of schedule and competition than the WEC or the Blancain series especially when you guys upload your races free of charge to your fans who can't watch the full race
Excellent!!!!! Way better than in 2015's. Tired of all bullshit electric and diesel car it sounds like GARBAGE glad we have more real engines this year. Put more in-car views too, like ALMS 2000 to 2005
Would be even better if you could do the live streaming on TH-cam rather than in the IMSA website. I get a much better quality here. Thanks a lot anyway!
I don't see how fox sports forgets to add the two turns immediately after turn 1 when they showed me the track map. It just seems like they don't exist.
The blue oval paint schemes of this race season and that red horse scheme of GTLM make it kind of confusing for when it comes to telling the two apart. For example if you are talking about the Ford, and you mistakenly say the Joey hand in Ferrari, would you as the media get in trouble or not. I think the next race package should include the car numbers in big font on the roof of every car and class
IMSA is a very good championship but I really don't like the 2 step starting ,we miss half the action of the first lap because you watch the another start.
+armorgeddon incorrect, for a manufactuer to have a car in Gtd they must pay around 1 million dollars, look it up. It is why Merc, Bentley, and mclaren were not at the Rolex. Look it up before u respond.
Whilst I appreciate the coverage and the fact its free to watch on youtube, the commentary really leaves something to be desired. They're basically just telling us what we can see on the screen ourselves with very little insight into anything else. Im only two and a half hours in but a number of cars have had issues and the only way you would know is by watching the leaderboards at the top. I mean they didn't even acknowledge that certain cars had issues let alone report on what they were. The radio le mans commentary on the livestream was much more informative and interesting
Forgive me for not knowing, as I wasn't alive back then, but I thought that the Ford GT was permanently banned from competitive racing back in the 60's, because the cars were completely dominating LeMans for something like five straight years.
Christopher0184 the Ford GT was never banned, it raced until the regulations no longer made it eligible. And this is a very different car to the 1965 one, since it is 51 years newer and a completely different car.
julz O'Sullivan for sure, I just don't think it's the root cause. Then again, maybe it's more sentimental for him and I'm just an ignorant fool lol. That can definitely be the case as well haha.
year after year, quicker and quicker to put da replays, awesome! thx a lot! ****For Sebring12H, in March, pls retourn to the 2015 superb & great car cams system (ROOF & REAR 720p onboard cams) **** pleeaaaaassseee :)
Yeah 1966 ken miles was robbed from making history in motorsports because carrol Shelby's boss leo bebe has ordered ken to slow down just for a perfect darn photo-op.
Oh no the corvettes won, time to pull out the 'BOP' and make sure they never win again. GO IMSA do not waste time, cant let the corvettes win again, BOP the shit outta of em; go do what you are very good at doing; rigged racing.

Hey IMSA thank you for being awesome and putting on a great broadcast for all to watch for free.
+True Racer I could not agree more with you. Thank you IMSA!
+True Racer Yes this isn't any FIA shit :) great
+True Racer And not Geo-blocking it!
+True Racer radio lemans did do a great job. 24 hours with no commercials
Oh hey! didn't expect to see you here.

The cars this year are just amazing especially in the GT categories. Thank you IMSA for posting so quickly and for organizing this great series.
+Trackstar2211 i totally agree! gtlm is going to be the best battle in racing history. both in this series and in WEC:

+jason cheney here's another good racing series Blancpain Sprint Series (GTWorld, youtube channel)
+SeljD Thank you SeljD
I love watching these in school in my free time and people laugh at me because its a old person thing, they are missing out on something amazing!
+Stersss Do the others think racing is only for old people?
+armorgeddon apparently
+Stersss tell them to go watch any amateur kart race (the de facto feeder to top-tier motorsports like LMP1, F1, and Indycar). none of those drivers have even hit puberty yet.
Stersss same for me but they don't think racing is boring and I know they are missing out on alot
Thanks IMSA for this beautiful broadcast! European WEC broadcast can learn a lot from you. The WEC is only focussed on the P1 cars. Here you see everything!! And while im a big Le Mans fan i must say that the Daytona 24 is my overall favourite.
Yeah, this is absolutely fantastic that they make it available here online.
Big thumbs up to providing the video archive on this. Watched the majority of the race live and thought the coverage was great. Audi!
Thank you very much IMSA for making this sporting event available on your channel! Much appreciated! :)

Race start at 21:49
Your the best type of person
+Johan Muijnen thank you!
deus da abençoe
Haha thanks
Green Green Green
You guys rock for posting this!! Thanks! I was only able to watch about three hours and it was in the middle of the race...
Thank you so much for bringing this race, to us, who do not live in the States! Love this series. Great coverage, great racing, great cars, and superb drivers, what could a racing fan ask more?!
Phew, I actually survived 3 days without getting spoilered, waiting for these re-broadcasts. Time to lock the door and watch! :)
+AreYouBenMusic Haha, reminds me of the how I met your mother "Superbowl" episode.. :-D
Guys this is awesome. Thx for making this available.
3th time watching the Great Daytona 24h, this year is set to be a golden year for Imsa, WEC, open your eyes!
Can't thank you enough IMSA for the great access and broadcast
I wish I'd seen the GTD start as well. Even so, I'm glad it's on YT.
I refuse to buy cable tv so thanks for posting this.
amazing coverage! it was back to the good old days indeed!
60 FPS racing is the best thing ever seen
Thank you for posting this quickly.
Thanks for the upload!
Awesome that you guys uploaded this so quickly! Just wish it had imsa radio commentators instead.
OH MAN OH MAN!!! I watched the live broadcast from the app and only missed approx.6 hrs of it, but I still get excited watching it again. :)))))) Those GTLM and GTD machines are sooo damn sexy!!!!! Most people want a regular Lambo while I want a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 like No.11! This is some exciting racing, in my opinion better than Formula 1.

Looks like the P2s and the Daytona Prototypes are finally balanced a little better. Yay.
Can we get an onboard from the Deltawing at the start here? Katherine Legge making up 10 places in 15 minutes is no small feat.
Thank you so so much for the upload!
Thank you imsa amazing series!!!!
You guys rock for posting this!!
Thank you IMSA!
I think you guys at IMSA are a better series in terms of schedule and competition than the WEC or the Blancain series especially when you guys upload your races free of charge to your fans who can't watch the full race
Black-Op345Gaming schedule is difficult to argue for/against, as IMSA is only in North America but WEC can only do 1 race per country.
Great coverage. Loved it!
Excellent!!!!! Way better than in 2015's.
Tired of all bullshit electric and diesel car it sounds like GARBAGE glad we have more real engines this year.
Put more in-car views too, like ALMS 2000 to 2005
Great stuff! Thanks IMSA )))
Where we can watch the 2017 race live in Europe ?
Website says IMSA.com will stream it.
Horst Horstmann thanks !
ARIGT23 they have a app too, they stream all the races there. Very good stuff
BTW, thank whomever for the upload.
IMSA,,, Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
thank you!
It's finally up! :D
Would be even better if you could do the live streaming on TH-cam rather than in the IMSA website. I get a much better quality here. Thanks a lot anyway!
Nicolas Nicolas they get a better deal from using their website though
Early goings to be sure, 90 min into the race, but the Delta Wing is frickin flyin'!!!!
5:00 "... the competition in the GT LeMans class never fails to disappoint" - !!!
Not. What. He. Had. In. Mind.
Greetings for all iracers how will complete in 2 weeks too for 24 hours!! Hope to see again massives splits!
Philipp Baur how was your 24? :)
What's the music in the intro? Thanks IMSA!
+DJC1vrock i want to know as well
I don't see how fox sports forgets to add the two turns immediately after turn 1 when they showed me the track map. It just seems like they don't exist.
How do tickets work for this event? Does a ticket get you a full 24 hour seat?
m s you don't buy an individual seat, you buy a ticket to go to the event.
2:26:54 Seb Bourdais is 4 time champ car campion, not Indycar, (pre-merger) just sayin...
You legends
they dont do intro like this anymore.... :sad:

IMSA is a very good championship but I really don't like the 2 step starting ,we miss half the action of the first lap because you watch the another start.
Amstramgra M it is for safety reasons
This is missing Nissan GTR GT3, Bentley Continental GT3, Mercedes SLS GT3 and McLaren 650s GT3.
+TheJCJexe than you need to check out Blancpain Sprint Series ("GTWorld" youtube channel) they have all those cars and 3h, 6h, 12h and 24h races
+TheJCJexe The less GT3s the better IMO. The Bentley also races in the FIA European Truck Racing Championship btw ;-)
+TheJCJexe if you don't pay imsa like the car manufacturer's you mentioned did not, you don't get to enter cars.
+jack coffey That's not true, it's up to the teams to buy the cars and apply for entry in the IMSA championship.
+armorgeddon incorrect, for a manufactuer to have a car in Gtd they must pay around 1 million dollars, look it up. It is why Merc, Bentley, and mclaren were not at the Rolex. Look it up before u respond.

That's the 60's the current GT is NOT the dominant GT40
In fact the previous generation of GT was a tribute to the GT40
+Black-Op345Gaming Ok. Thanks. Since I wasn't alive back then, so I honestly thought the Ford GT model and all of its variants were banned. Thank you.
Christopher0184 the Ford GT was never banned, it raced until the regulations no longer made it eligible. And this is a very different car to the 1965 one, since it is 51 years newer and a completely different car.
I realized why scott dixon was racing the ford because 50 years ago Chris Amon raced a ford and he was from New Zealand same with Scott dixon
julz O'Sullivan nah. I think he was racing ford because chip ganasi said so :p
Sergey Pupko still abit of history
julz O'Sullivan for sure, I just don't think it's the root cause. Then again, maybe it's more sentimental for him and I'm just an ignorant fool lol. That can definitely be the case as well haha.
julz O'sullivan no he was racing because he is a Chip Ganassi Racing driver and they run all of the Ford programmes in this race.
LOL at 1:15:40 - Retracted the air gun too soon. Someone wasn't paying attention!
no motors tv on freeview what a bummer for tho oaps in EUROPE SOT IT OUT NOW
1:45:54 BMW M6 Competition edition!!???
+NISMO N ATTACK 東瀛戰神 R34 Z TUNE probably
modifiyeli araba
Next year 2019 for nissan in IMSA
anyone know what the song at the beginning is
the fucking national anthem lol
no at the very beginning of the video
Hellcat9k it is for most of the motor racing series on Fox otherwise IDK
I wish the 919 was in there
Vincent Mercer LMP1 though so it isn't eligible, and if it was it would be several seconds a lap quicker than anything else.
year after year, quicker and quicker to put da replays, awesome! thx a lot!
****For Sebring12H, in March, pls retourn to the 2015 superb & great car cams system (ROOF & REAR 720p onboard cams) ****
pleeaaaaassseee :)
Yeah 1966 ken miles was robbed from making history in motorsports because carrol Shelby's boss leo bebe has ordered ken to slow down just for a perfect darn photo-op.

IMSA 2019 - no more Fox Sports!!! I could pee myself!!!
Oh no the corvettes won, time to pull out the 'BOP' and make sure they never win again. GO IMSA do not waste time, cant let the corvettes win again, BOP the shit outta of em; go do what you are very good at doing; rigged racing.
