    I hope the New Hypercars will draw in new viewers/ fans for both Endurance and GT racing in IMSA, WEC, GT challenge ets. All these series deserve more fans considering the racing it produces

      All the OEMs should be on the phone with game developers on putting these cars into video games so more people can find out about them and the series that race them. BMW is already the first LMDh in iRacing.

    The replay of the door banging between Jam Jam and Landlord Larry in GT Pro reminds one that it truly ain't over until its over. That was one for the history books. Great stuff!! Your video was an excellent reminder of what is involved in not just the 24 hours. But in everything leading up to it as well. New cars have been testing a lot. The big question still remains: Will they hold up for 24 hours in anger. We shall see.

    • @offintheesses
      @offintheesses  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      When I was rewatching that clip it just gave me flashbacks to sitting on the couch last year and how amazing that battle was for the laps leading up to that moment. It is a finish that will be remembered for a very long time!

    Just discovered this channel. Good concise video, obviously aimed at complete newbies but still quite enjoyable for longtime sportscar fans like me.
    Also, I love your channel name, and I can't help but wonder what esses you had in your mind when you thought of the name. I'm imagining Maggots and Beckets at Silverstone but that's just my bias

    • @offintheesses
      @offintheesses  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! There is going to be some more introductory content coming this week aimed at trying to get new fans up to speed with the sport!
      I actually got the name from the final couple of corners at Mosport which is called the Esses! With it being my home track I wanted to tie that it but also have it be relatable for a general race fan!

    • @offintheesses
      @offintheesses  ปีที่แล้ว

      That's awesome! You're picking a very good year to go! Make sure to bring warm clothing because it can get quite chilly at night! Also make sure to take advantage of being able to go into the garage area and check out the cars up close. Best to do that on the Thursday or Friday when they're going to be practicing!

    I going to the 12hrs at Sebring. Can’t wait to see the new cars there. Too bad there are no Motorhome spaces at Daytona. Or I would have gone. But I have a reserved spot in paddock turn 15 at Sebring. Maybe next year at Daytona if a space frees up.
